And there's a chance it still might go ready before I bring the car in for the sticker
Gabe congrats on fixing the issue. Must be a great feeling, again.

Thanks guys, I didn't get to go for the sticker today, but I have an appointment for tomorrow morning for that, and for an overdue alignment.

Today I ended up leaving my car at home and the wife and I took her Shelby for a 2-hour cruise, an hour each way, for a nice lunch for her birthday.
I drove back

Awesome. Sounds like a killer day!
Good luck tomorrow.

Got my May sticker on the Mustang this morning, finally.
Also got an alignment done.
Finally.

Place we went to does a lot of high-performance work on Evos and other fun toys, the Mustangs looked at home in that lot:





The alignment "rack" was an interesting set-up, but it does the job!

Today I didn't do much on mine, but I did change the spark plugs in the wife's Shelby, and I'm glad I did, since in about a year and half that they've been in there, they've gone from a gap of 0.030 to anywhere between .031 to .038




Pulled 2 of my plugs just to check their condition, the first and 3rd on the passenger side:

First oil change since I put in the strut tower brace. Much easier to work around it than I expected, and it didn't even bother me when I emptied the catch can.

I went to the Tasca Ford Day today, at New England Dragway, there's always a good-size car show to go along with the racing they have going on,
this time the show was somewhat small, but there were still about 20 Mustangs.
I won trophies for 2nd place - Modified Mustang, and first place - Best Mustang.

Evap monitor should go ready overnight, I'll check that in the morning.
congrats on winning the trophy Gabe

Thanks guys, I didn't race the car, just took part in the show. Watched some of the races, there was another Sterling Gray '13 there with a blower on it and running an auto, he was constantly running 10.2 @ 133 ... Looked great!

Thanks Tony.

Yesterday the wife and I took both cars to an annual show in Bethlehem, NH.
I ended up winning another trophy.

We went shopping a bit after that, then we went to the Mount Washington Hotel and had a couple cocktails and some food.
Left the house at 7AM, got home at 10PM, put about 275 miles on the cars, had a great time
