I think the next time you are over, you should bring the Lotus...

Did fixed wing mounts (leaking hydraulics) and a new alignment. Car handles so much better!

Well, got my Numeric shift cables but have yet to see them as I am stuck at home dealing with a flood due to a failed sump pump.

All I wanted to do was make it the next 9 days and put 2020 behind me.

The universe clearly has different ideas.

And of course this has to happen Christmas week. Getting very close to falling off the wagon before new years...

I'm not looking forward to 2021.

I could make a couple of guesses as to why, but why?

The direction the United States has taken (and not just recently.)

The right performance alignment can really wake these cars up! By *far* the biggest bang-for-the-buck mod on our Turbos.

You are in good company. The hot water heater at my family home in Santa Fe blew out last week flooding rooms below. I am currently managing the demolition, mold abatement and partial reconstruction remotely.

My wheel project fought me every step of the way. A more intelligent man would have taken that as a sign and turned around a while ago...not this guy. At least I learned quite a bit throughout. I adjusted the rear ride height on my PSS9 which had not been adjusted for a long time, which was fun. I got in a shoulder workout this afternoon. They were set much, much higher than the Bilstein recommended adjustments and I lowered to the bottom of the recommended range. Wheel project officially done, now on to a repaint of the front lip spoiler.

Plumbing issues aside, I finally got my meat hooks on these....

They appear to be beautifully made....

No worries, because of my work I have "people" all over the place. LOL. Still annoying though.
