My older boys are now in 2nd and 4th grade. For the last two years, they have walked right across the street in the mornings to Matt's house. Matt is in 3rd grade. Matt's mom(Bridgette) or dad(Chris) would drive the three of them to school. My wife or I would pick them up after school.
Saturday night Bridgette was killed in a car crash.
Chris is not doing very well with it so this afternoon I dragged him out of the house and took him on a long drive with the top down. The weather was perfect, the roads were clear. He enjoyed the ride.
I think it was the best use of my car ever!

uh huh..
Well just put a short shifter in, first time changing a shifters throw at the transaxle itself. I still have a little play when its in gear though. Looks like its coming from the shifter lever itself or the rod that goes back to the linkage.

We need a "What have you done to your 948 today" thread....
Got my custom strut bar fabbed and mounted.....
Got around to welding my custom strut bar attachments. I made them from 1/4" thick 4140 Chromo steel, about 4 times stronger than the thin sheet metal ones that bend under the sheer force. I also used a Hollow 7/8" 6061 alloy rod and tapped each side Left and Right hand so the pre-load is set with a turn of the wrist with matching lock-nuts. As you can see there is a solid 1" clearance on the LS1 intake. So The V8 swap kit with the custom X-member I make would have exactly 0.50" clearance

Found and fixed an electrical gremlin I had been chasing down for the last day and a half. Also installed my replacement strut brace because my previous one didn't clear my fuel rail after I replaced my motor mounts with upgraded Turbo mounts.
