It's snowing outside, it's 100 miles to Chicago and we're wearing sunglasses.

So spill it folks, what are you looking to accomplish in 2025.

1. In 2025, I'm hoping to upgrade my current ride with some performance mods and take it on a few epic road trips.

2. I'm aiming to learn more about car maintenance and repair, so I can tackle more DIY projects and save some money.

3. I'm planning to attend more car meets and events, and maybe even participate in a track day or two.

4. I'm looking to explore more of the local driving roads and discover some new favorite routes.

5. My goal is to finally finish that car project I've been putting off and get it on the road.

1 - Complete "Handling and Suspension" upgrades on my car
2 - Attend Hot Rod Power Tour (and other enthusiast gatherings that are similar)
3 - Go on a Road Trip to find fun and challenging roads (probably back to East Tennessee/North Carolina with their beautiful roads)
4 - Attend Track Day at Road America or similar track

That would be a fun year for me

Maybe actually make some progress on my car to-do list. Mostly interior stuff with parts I already own.
Steering column repairs/mods (steering wheel and maybe more depending on how creative I can get)
Gauge cluster modification and swap (new backlighting design and overlay and carputer from years ago)
Replace the sun visors
Upgraded rear view mirror
New head unit with RVC
Replace cracked dash pad (have a new one)
After I practice some with my new welder (never welded before) I may try to tack on some new exhaust tips

Then if I can swing a few extra bucks:
Replace/upgrade headliner (have a map light module I'm planning to install to replace the mirror-mounted map lights as my new mirror does not have any)
New sub box (have a sub and amp waiting already)

I was going to start this winter but the garage is too full of other crap at the moment, and it is too dang cold out there to work on it now anyway!

I'd love to get the exterior all fixed up but that will be in the realm of a few $k I'm sure (install new sail panel, spoiler, and hood, and paint everything).

1. Install my new to me (used) Holley Dominator EFI system.
I have all my stock ecu and supporting hardware removed.

2. Tune it, and learn the boost control.

3. Work hard on the first 330ft

4. Let it rip and find out how far below 8.50 I go.
