Yesterday afternoon I went back to readjust the front sway bar links on Baby. It just hadn't felt right between us for a few days... to get it right, I put a plastic bucket with 230 lbs of rocks in the driver's seat and then adjusted the right front sway bar link until it had zero load on it.
When I went out on the road, the handling went from a bit unpredictable to a rocket sled on rails. It was so incredibly grounded! Total control of the car at all times, no matter how bad the pavement. Not always comfortable, but always controlled. It was that feeling like: "OK, pavement. I don't care what kind of shit you throw at me, I got it covered." If you have adjustable links, then by all means adjust them for zero preload on the anti-sway bars! You'll thank yourself later.

I'll admit, I lol'd when Rosberg put his car in the wall.
Also, props to Haas for not breaking and Force India for doing decent!

There's a HUGE difference between tomato paste and tomato puree.
I learned that the hard way -_- Had to mix in copious amounts of milk/water to the curry to "un-chunk" it. Next time, I'll be sure to read the label.
