My Car and Vintage WWII Aircraft
The other weekend I heard about two WWII aircraft coming to Pittsburgh. I was hoping for a third (a P-51 Mustang), but it had mechanical problems. Long story short, I got to fly in one of the aircraft. Afterwards I was talking with one of the pilots and asked if I could pull my car around and take some pictures. He was fine with the idea if the airport let me bring my car on the tarmac. So I asked and sure enough, they said it was fine by them.
Holy Cow, I never thought they would say yes. I was already grinning from ear to ear from flying the AT-6 Texan and now I got to experience a second 'once in a lifetime opportunity.' I pulled my car on the tarmac and only got one shot with the Texan, but the B-25 was stationary for longer so I had more time to take shots. The owners said if they bring the P-51 back in the area, they would let me know so I can get more shots with that plane too.
How cool!

I do agree about the drop, however, there are too many potholes, bumps, parking bumpers, valleys/hills transistions in the road, etc.. that I have to get around. I have already scraped my chin a couple times at its current height. I don't want to lower it and make it worse.

For some reason, Magnum/Mach 1 style wheels are THE only ones that can pull off the stock ride height. They just look so good with some fat tires and the factory raked look. I say leave it as is, especially with the crappy roads in your area. Good call on painting the factory calipers and adding the pony. Looks OEM!
