Okay, this wasn't 'today,' but it was interesting. Had a friend visiting at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills and went to pick her up in my 13-year old Turbo. Well for a place where people arrive and leave in $150K+ cars, you'd have thought I was driving a Carrera GT from the way I was treated. Much ooh-in and aah-ing, and the car was parked in the premium 'up front' spot by the valets. Days later, I was talking with my friend and apparently the hotel staff was still talking about the car. This is a new experience to me. Maybe they just don't see yellow cars that aren't taxis...

dan only keeps the shop to help offset the cost of his willow springs habit, I'm guessing

so.. today. third and final try! of installing my tarett camber plates and they just dont cut it. it's a long story but suffice it say, i think the oem top mounts i just put on, will better suit my needs. i also installed the torque solutions toe link sets and those will be awesome. alignment with some more toe out to .025 and i'm squat like nobodies' business.
