hey Jon, what's up. yup all done, except I got really impatient and said f it, I want to finish it so I can beat on it. I went to Haddad and they did a fantastic job in four hours what would have taken me a few months if not more. car runs great I love it

My tires aren't exactly that great but they're not too bad either... I had a really hard time keeping the car under control earlier in the day b/c the torque just lights them up. I was pretty easy on the gas until I had the car pointed straight.

My instructor's first comment was how the car would be an autocross animal if I put stickies on there. He suggested driving the car with street tires, getting used to sliding it around for a while.. so when you do put stickies on you are in much better tune with the traction limits of the car.

anyway, hope things are well with the beastly goat
