Thumbs up GLZC Meeting (2-28-11 at Kart2Kart in

I guess this is the second "official" meeting of the GLZC.

This will be a bit more informal. I won't bore everyone with a lot of talking. I will have membership applications available. I will also talk to Kart2Kart about giving GLZC members a discount when they show their cards.

There will be a prize to whoever has the fastest single lap. So even if you are in the back of the pack, you can still win if you can get a clean fast lap!

Mine is slammed pretty low too. My first lowered align was at the dealer. I went to one certified for repairing GT-Rs. (supposedly a different alignment rack)

After adding the Veilside underwings, the dealer couldn't get it on the rack. So I ended up at AutoEurope (a Lotus dealer) in Birmingham. I know you need one in K-zoo but you might want to just check the dealership. Make sure you have adjustable arms F&R and toe bolts. I have some new adjustable radius arms for the rear if you need them.

Just got a bonus from work. Such a moral dilemma. I decided to completely pay off the Z instead of buying a LS2 V8 and T56 transmission. It was the responsible thing to do. Plus I save on interest since I paid it off 1.5 years early.

So maybe this next winter, I will have saved enough to go LSX for spring 2012.

Congratulations. I just looked at my loan docs today and I'm down to 18k already. I was shocked.

I was oogling a new MBP today and I just started thinking about what I could do to the car that $3500... I think I'm going to see about taking the the 3 day class at Mid Ohio this spring as a vacation.

^^ don't stress Rob! My wedding cost me about $250 and it was quite beautiful. If there is something I can do to help cut costs let me know. Bartend, serve, male escort, we could all do photos or video, help decorate or setup / tear down.

I think this week is the first week this year where it's supposed to get above freezing each day this week...

Pretty soon, we'll have a day where the low is above freezing...
