On my trips to Az, its not uncommon for me to cruise at 80-85 mph.

Plus I dont want to remove the wheels to check torque on the spacers as often as I will need to!

When you add a slip plane to a bolted connection you are doubling the shear force it sees. Now there’s a huge safety of factor on bolts but S.Fs are for unknowns (i.e. flaws in machining or material strength etc.), not to be used knowingly. If you pull up to a Discount Tire with spacers on they will turn you away. All the tracks I know of have the same rules. People use spacers everyday, I’m just not one of them.

Probably holds more than my G. I left it at a buddy’s one night and told him to drive it and see if he thought anything was off. He drove it to the grocery store and figured he could buy a lot more than normal since he wasn’t in the Z. Boy was he mistaken.

Getting pretty excited for visiting Rusty's iHOB (international house of bushings!) EW, have you made arrangements to crash the party yet? You know you want to.

An old customer of mine called me today. His business partner said he picked up a bunch of new clients and wants to hire me full time (NOOOOOO!) I politely declined, then he offers me a contract.... to do work for them on the days Ive reserved for visiting my brother. I told him Ill let him know. Havent really talked $$ but I have a good idea of what theyre willing to pay me. I think Ill decline that offer too. Spending as much time with my brother is more important to me.

Remember, money can't buy happiness. But it can buy Z parts, which is pretty much the same thing!

But seriously, you're making the right choice.

Sound decision. Money only goes so far man. I discovered years ago that once you have enough for bills, necessities, retirement and a little play money (toys and vacation), the rest you just accumulate **** with. It doesn’t make a real difference in your life.

I refuse to make business decisions based on money. I have lost out on some opportunities with that thinking. But none of them were with people or companies that I felt would have benefited me in any way other than padding my bank account. No regrets.
