We haven't had a shop update in a while so with 2016 coming to a close and 2017 on the horizon I snapped some quick pictures of various cars that are around the shop right now.

Once you identify the goals for a particular vehicle, the plan is set to get to those goals and the vehicle continues to impress you each time you use it of course it becomes the Car of the Year. The Subaru BRZ was brought on with the intention of building a reliable, fun track car. The car now has 9 track days, over 750 track miles and it has not balked at me once. Other than adding gas and doing the usual once over maintenance items that any track car requires the BRZ has gone out session after session and...
