btw, I'm planning to do the suspension at Greg Stewart's house. He has graciously offered to tape off a "safe area" around the door to his garage so I don't re-injure the nose. effing thing still hurts...

Not even close. There's still an interior to rip out, harnesses to rig, a kill switch to install, QR steering wheel, DAS (came today 
), more rigging on the tire trailer, cool shirt, and of course the racing suit. Given my proven skilz, with the suit, I'm going to be VERY careful with the zipper. You can count on more entertainment for months to come.
btw, even though it doesn't look all that bad (in relative terms), my effing nose STILL hurts.

It will most likely be Methodist off of 290. That's where he'll wind up after driving his wildly crabbing 996 after doing all those suspension mods.
I told the flight for life guys to watch out for a guy in a green 996. His nickname is "Martini Mike". I figure when they see his car driving erratically on the highway, they'll just through him in the clink thinking he must be drunk.
I have the video camera batteries fully powered up.

Suspension is in. I still have all of my fingers and toes. The car will be trailered to Track Time Performance tomorrow & be corner balanced and aligned next week.

How much will THAT cost......I can picture them now wandering around under your car, mumbling "WTF is this, WTF is......".
