Evo is back and beautiful

My dad gave the Evo the best detail job it's ever had. It had paint overspray or something like that all over it. He put a ton of work into and it looks amazing!

IRL St.Pete Grand Prix 2012

The Phils played in Ft Myers today so we decided to do something a little different. We went to see qualifying for the St. Pete IRL race and check out the support races. We had a blast.

Took Dave to the ER.

We took him around 130am and were there until 4am. He was having a tooth problem. They gave him meds and we were on our way.

Working on the Evo

Got her up on the lift to check the oil cooler lines, again, since it was still leaking. Looks like one of the fittings was lose or not tighten down all the way. Hopefully that was it!

I also putting in my short shifter, which has been sitting on the workbench for months. Man was it a mistake to let that thing sit there! It is amazing how short the throw is. I read this one was like the S2k and was highly doubtful but it actually is pretty freaking close! I love it!

Dads 2004 ZO6

Dad got a new vette up in Maryland recently and I borrowed it on Monday morning. It's super fun to drive and the sounds it makes are second to none. He wasn't to happy with the paint on the 01 so he sold it. He seems to love it and I'm extremely happy he finally got one!

Clif's E55 AMG

After visiting with the Clif, Molly and seeing baby Mya it was time to check out the new toys. Clif's new ride, the E55, looks way better in person! We took it for a spin and it almost has me thinking about selling the Evo! It's that nice and fast! The tech the car has is amazing! Seats the grip and move to the sides to add more support in turns. Sports modes, ride height adjustments, insane brakes, 470hp and 515 torque! He had me stop on the road and smash the pedal. The rear of the car began to slide out. The smoke in the rear view are more of an indicator than the sound of the car. I mean that in a good way too, it's still throaty but not over board like the Evo.
Most excellent car!

Maybe I'll wait and pay off the Evo and then get one... ha!

LFA spotted in Knoxville

A friend of mine spotted a Lexus LFA yesterday and was nice enough to share. I love this car. Looks, power and tech, tips the scales all around

Mary's new ride!! - 2006 Honda Pilot

We got Mary a new car today and she absolutely loves it! It was the first one we looked at but they wouldn't budge on the price. 3 weeks later they dropped the price and meet our offer. I got an amazing APR with my credit union and an awesome setup for Bi monthly automatic payments. I have a few plans for it but first on the list is to add a nav, just need to figure which one to go with.
