Things were quiet for a couple years mostly due to budget constraints. I continued commuting to work with Bee. It's one hell of an awesome daily driver, and commuted with him mostly because I couldn't afford to get another car. Plus, if you're going to be stuck in your car for 2 hours per day, shouldn't it at least be in a nice one? That first winter I learned how insanely bad the Pirelli's were in the snow when I couldn't get out of the driveway with only 2". Bee spent that first snow storm parked on the side of the road because I couldn't get him home.
I lurked on here on and off again until late 2012 when I got into discussions about suspension upgrades with Justice Pete (another awesome asset here on Camaro5). He made me into a huge Pedders fan and really taught me the importance of improving the suspension before doing anything else. A ton of horsepower and torque really doesn't do you a lot of good if you can't get it to the ground, right?

Unfortunately, budget still wasn't there for me but I was able to at least get some subframe inserts and a LSR short throw shifter for Christmas.
