I like that trailer; how do the rims hold up running the straps through them like that?

Its a Sundowner 19’ & it’s been more than satisfactory. I’m using Mac padded fleece axle/wheel straps. No chafing and no issues being secured this way.

Good to know about the straps, I am always a bit leery about running a strap through a wheel - I did it once on my bike when I had to move it and it left a perfect strap wear mark on the rear wheel.

I am thinking, now, these have come out pretty good; they are very clean and soft.

I took a break, sat in my Turbo, and watched this.

Not exactly something "to" my car, but for my car. I borrowed a friend's QuickJack when I did the AWD swap on my car and I told myself I'm never going back to jacks and jack stands. I scored a sweet deal on an open box special direct from QuickJack and pulled the trigger finally.

I have had mine for about a year and LOVE them. A trick I recently learned was to cut a block of wood that fills the cavity that the lift blocks go into. It will help with the alignment timeline significantly. They just came out with a set that lifts about 3" higher too. I didn't think it was much, but my wife said one could always use a few more inches

Didn't I already see your quick jack deployed and a small child under the car?

Possibly, but doubtful...

Someone didn't read the caption.

That picture with my son was taken when I was borrowing a friend's QuickJack a few months ago.

With a track day tomorrow, I wandered down to the local race equipment shop and finally pulled the trigger on a replacement for my stock seat....

Sparco QRT-C Performance. Carbon fiber shell, italian leather and alcantara cover. A bit more generous than some of the super-tight race seats and a bit easier to get in and out of as well. Looks like it was made for the Turbo, fits perfect, comfy as hell! It also drops ~30 pounds per seat vs. stock seats.

I just bought one for the drivers side as I wanted to make sure it was the 'right' seat, but I'm sold. Will be picking up a second one for the passenger side...
