Does anybody know of a good trusty shop that I can install my lowering springs and get it aligned at? I'd do it myself but I'm paranoid I'd make a mistake, plus I don't have the tools necessary.

Mines just a 2000 C5 Vert with a Stroked 408. I am running the same 315's, Nitto NT05's though and while yes I can break that bad boy loose if I want when I am in Competitive mode I do just fine. But then I also don't think of the gas pedal as an on off switch as I have seen some do. Have you tried working with the other modes? I know when I test drove a C6 I was not fond of their version of competitive mode but then I did not spend the time to figure out what I would like.

Saw a black 86 going west on the 202 while I was going east.

Also saw a white frs on university and 101. He had led running lights in his turn signal housing and converted to stock drl location into turn signals.

Waved at both. Anyone here?

Big thanks to everyone who came out to the auto-x today. Hanging out with friends makes weather delays more fun.

And a wet course makes autocross more fun too.

I got soaked, and then at the very end on my last work session the sun decided to come out full force the entire hour and I got baked, and not the good kind Great times though. Working the course was a lot easier, and more entertaining than I expected :-) Although my first work session Jake did most of the running around. Not sure what your name is on the forums... thanks for your help!

Hey, it happens. That's not the only thing that got broken today by a long shot. (In fact I have a waterlogged speaker in my backseat that "just needs to be rewired") >.<

Please name this BBQ joint. Having moved from KC I am always looking for, but never finding, a suitable replacement for a local outfit named Oklahoma Joe's.

I am literally trying every BBQ place I find.
