Agree with you in the merits if ppf.
Understand what you are talking about in the job front. Yes, the salary level for those last few years can make a difference.
As you get older you come to realize how valuable time is though.
Your car is looking great 👍 🚗.
Tom, sorry to hear that you are so busy brother. Hope you get that promotion and hopefully a bit of time off this spring/summer to get back out in that awesome ride of yours.

Dave, I have not been to Mid Ohio but I can offer up that I am running 275/35/18 on several tracks here in Canada and I have found 32 PSI front and 30 PSI rear (HOT) to be the sweet spot for the pies I am running (Goodyear 3R's).
Alex, yes sir.
Not to hijack the thread - here is want you will want to know.
