So now that it's spring :)
So with all the nice weather here I am thinking about the upgrades/fixes Money Penny needs. Here's my list what is yours this year.
- need a new half shaft, my drivers is leaking - would love to replace the PASM shocks with Damptronics - costly with exchange now though - new lift, I need to pull the trigger on a small lift - shifter cables, apparently a known problem I didn't know about, so going with Numeric Racing cables Going to be a great driving year.

It isn't spring!
Mother nature is just luring you into a false sense that spring is here.... This is Calgary and anything can happen anytime....

Garage more than half full....
If not for the salt on the road and the mine field that I need to drive through to get in/out of the garage, I would have had the SC out for a run. On the positive side, I did find all the tools I was missing in the back seat of the SC! Couldn't remember for the life of me where I left them.

had high hopes for over winter, work got in the way. I was down in LA earlier this winter and picked up backdate parts from TRE for my car, so have all that waiting. also have a pile of turbo parts, and standalone EFI stuff for my car, will have to wait I guess.
Dollar is really holding me back right now.

It sure looked like spring at Mount Norquay yesterday.
There was water deep enough in the parking lot for the Bimmers an Mercs to be washing their bumpers in! Skiing was a bit crusty but not too bad. Note to self, get skis tuned this week! Need those edges sharp!

Got the croc out yesterday and it's awesome to be driving again.
Ordered new PSS16's from Gert at Carnewal shipped to Calgary for $3060, sourced locally I would have had to pay $4500 due to US exchange. Can't wait

Warm here as well, local ski hill just called it quits for the year.
Start of march break so that likely a multi-million dollar loss.
