Did you already sign up for a track day? I'll be at Autobahn on June 3rd with MVP

Not yet. I'm meeting with jimmy from gps tracktime on sat to discuss a deal for track days. Then I have to look at my schedule and see what I can do

Hey Pat, I see you may pick up a Stillen SC for a great price.

All the best to you. Hope you get it.

If you do get it, I know we have yet to meet, but I have dibs on the first ride. As a passenger of course...........unless you're in really good mood.

Good morning boys.

It's impossible to communicate with that dude.

I have somebody that can pick it up for me but waiting for this guy for the supercharger.

Just make sure you get a good wash when the salt is gone (including the undercarriage)

Agree. I took my Lady Z out on Saturday as well. I was bored, there was nothing to do but sit around and talk to my wife........I had to get out of the house.

I took the Z to the Dekalb Oasis on Saturday. There was no one on I-88 heading Westbound. Once I got through the Aurora Toll at Farnsworth and out into the rural part of I-88 I opened her up and got to 120mph for about a two miles or so. Have a V1 and was trusting it. It felt good to open it up. The car as usual handled just right. Really enjoyed the solitude.

Caught Lunch at Panda Express at the Oasis and then headed back. Nothing fancy, just set the cruise at 75mph and relaxed. The Sun felt good.

Looking forward to warmer weather later this week and into the weekend. It's about damn time!!!

Yeah this year we have been very far from average in march. But based in forecast it looks like things will improve soon.
