Default I wish it would stop raining!!!!!

I have new suspension parts on my car that I'd like to REALLY try out, but it's been raining all week. Looks like it's gonna rain all weekend and into next week too

Sorry for the rant.

My car should be back together next week so I figure another week or two to break in the new parts and finish breaking in the clutch and I will be ready to rock. What track you want to go to? I am down for Byron or GLD.

That reminds me of changing the Fuel Filter on my 5.0. Me, "Shouldnt there be a clamp or something for the lines?" Dad + Friend "Yeah its good..." Me, "**** my eyes! The goggles do nothing!!!" Dad "You wanted to be a car guy... You arent a car guy till something hits you in the eye while working on a car, congrats!"
