The GTi is in the shop after being smashed up, right? So, for the first time since about 2003, I've been driving the Mustang around full time. Ow. Oh yeah, that's why I stopped driving a stick every day. My clutch knee is definitely sore, so as much fun as this has been, I'll be happy to get the GTi back.

Also, it will be very interesting tracking the Lotus at Infineon next weekend with the Shelby Club. I wonder how long it will take my brain and muscles to remember which car I'm in. Will I cook 5 and spin? I doubt that, at least.

The Mustang feels pretty damn good since Rob tightened things up. In particular, turn in is much, much improved. I'd love Love LOVE to take it to the Shelby Club event next weekend, but there's still something not right. I tend to agree with Rob's driveshaft out of true diagnosis as it seems to be RPM dependent. For example, right at about 90mph in 5th (so between 3500 and 3900 RPM) the car suddenly starts to shake like it's about to come apart at the seams. Oh well, it'll be fun to stack the Lotus up with some Mustangs.

The GTi might be ready tomorrow.
