Same here. We've got some green popping up on the map. Oh well, the wife and I are headed out anyway. Later...

Glad things are settling down for you, Tom. Having been in IT for years, I know how hectic things can be sometimes. Although reorgs happen everywhere. And the job sitch hasn't been great in IT lately either. Fortunately, I am in a stable environment so I'm thankful for that, and the DC area is a bit better jobwise.
Thanks Deb, I've been through this sort of thing before but it's been awhile since the last time. I have a feeling things will work out for the better. As people have been saying here, change is happening, so if you embrace it you'll be fine.

It's just getting through all the that gets frustrating.

4:30p.m. - 72 degrees - nice

Humidity's up to 64% - it's not too bad though (it could be 100*)!

Its really easier than it looks.
Thanks for posting that Rob. I like the subtle look of the calipers on your car, somehow they just look cleaner painted that way. I think I'm going to try and do that to mine before winter.

Did you ever do anything with your rotors? I hate the way the rust hits them, after washing the car they turn brown real fast. I'd like to get different rotors that won't rust, but I wonder how they will stand up to the rigors of daily use here in Chicago. I'll have to rummage around here on the site, see if I can scope out anything about that.

I could deal with that. Straw hats and shades

You going to franchise this gig, Ohio? Where do I sign up???

It dropped about 1.5-1.75in. I went with the Neuspeed sport springs. The ride is a bit more bumpy, and I do have to go very slow over bumps, etc., but I sacrifice the comfort and carefulness (if that's a word), for the overall look.

And Tom, mine's a daily driver as well.

I'll try to get some comparable before and after pics.

Here's some comparison...

Before - Sorry, the shadows don't help the shot. The S behind mine is at stock height as well.

After

Before
Looking back, the gap looks huge!

After
Gap all gone - bye bye!



Slowly but surely... I'm getting there.
