    I just need to learn how to drive again. But the last outing sure reminded me why I like it so much.

    My heavy Chevy went to the boonesborough show. I wanted to peruse the swap meet for falcon supplies. Car ran flawlessly. Had a great time. Took my sweet woman and my daughter. With a toolbox, cooler, chairs, etc.. I had to put a little preload on the rear springs. Tires rubbed a bit lol. Screenshot_20251013_205043_Gallery.jpg

    Quick Performance recommended "breaking in" the clutches in the posi unit. After spending that amount of money, I'm doing what they recommended :D:D:D
