Added a new member to the family on Saturday. Deciding between Enzo and Lando for his name. They are pretty sure he is a purebred blue pit but since we got him through the humane society and only know the mom was a blue pit we can't be completely sure.

Ordered the new power steering pump yesterday. Subaru on S. Blvd wanted $499, $536 after tax for a brand new OEM pump so I said the hell with that and ordered the same pump for $175 cheaper in Colorado lol. Im hoping it solves the problem.
Coilovers are on and where I want to be...well kinda. I can go lower but Im limited due to my current tire setup. My camber isnt too much even though its at its maximum point up top. I have thick camber bolts and will be swapping to skinnier ones soon.
My rear diffuser has been ordered and so has the front lip but wont be on in time for IA and Im waiting till I can find side extensions as well.
Over the summer I am saving for a partial motor build, mostly bottom end stuff. Since ringlands are a common problem its seems like the best case scenario to do bottom end.

You should come by the house and check him out. He won't have all his shots to be able to leave the house till the end of April. I will probably bring him to the May Cars and Coffee then.

And so the search begins...
Race Car Parts.
Maria is just the daily and she has a few more super minor projects left on her.
But now its time to clean up and get ready to have the SHO running by summer/late summer.

Well we ended up with Enzo as his name. Megan liked it more and also said if we have kids one of the names she would want to consider is Landon which we couldn't really use if the dog was Lando. 
We also had been calling the poor guy both names and he seemed to respond better to Enzo. He pretty much never responded to Lando.

That terrible moment its 75 Degrees out and you go try on your cargo shorts only to find out that you no longer have any shorts to wear because you lost so much weight. 44Lbs down and still going.
I need car parts, but now I need clothes... #firstworldproblems

Bryan, I think BK is gonna leave around 11 or 12.
Stephen, congrats on the weight loss. Feel like I wont recognize you next time I see you.
Jason, what's up with you and Megan? I see your comments in the whats everyone doing today thread.

Import alliance had a big turnout and lots of impressive cars. I only took two photos while I was there. 
Bryan took some nice ones from what I saw him post on ig.

Same here. I probably should have done those things instead of buying a new TV

Here are the few photos I took during the trip to Atlanta.
911 turbo S on the way down.
The view from the 50th floor of the Westin.
Wheel and brake setup on the legacy parked next to us at the meet.
View from the Embassy Suites in Buckhead.
Luckily acura saved their ass by having the TLX GT show car there. (nsx wasn't there)
Apparently one of the TLX GTs won one of the races down in St. Petersburg in Florida over the weekend. (This is a serious ass racecar)
Scott's IS250 passing under the 285/85 interchange.
Popped off some quick pics of the Jeep and TL after having to go save the TL from a dead battery yesterday.

x2 on the ISF. My next daily driven car will be an ISF or an S5. Depends on what comes along when I start looking.
Going to see the Fast and the Furious at Regal/StoneCrest at 10:15 if anyone wants to join.
