I visited my parents for the weekend to work with Jen on painting the interiors of our cars. It took a long time to yank out of of her trim, losing only one clip; mine came out relatively easier, with one clip broken that I didn't even really need to futz with, but it's still in there tight so no worries ( Read more... )

Followed an older red Porsche into the parking garage today - I want to say from the 80s, and if I had to guess I'd say a 924. Definitely not a 911 or variant. [Edit: Checked again on the way out, it was a 944S. Sweet ( Read more... )

Well, after having reported them twice before, our downstairs neighbors woke us up at 5:30 this morning with such gems as, "Next time something goes through the wall it'll be you!" and "Next time I'll break your fucking jaw ( Read more... )

I've gotten a few compliments on the car lately. People liked it at the family reunion this weekend. Which was fun, though we had to leave early because of tornado watches. Bleh. Still, nice to see people and hang out ( Read more... )

Dee got a teaching job downstate (well, an area that's relative; I consider it downstate, she considers it upstate, it's between Albany and NYC), so she'll be moving out sometime in the next month. Which means that it'll be just Steph and I in this apartment 'til October, at which point we'll be moving elsewhere. We need to let Schermerhorn know 45 ( Read more... )

Well one of the vinyls already came off, and ultimately though the idea of "carbon fiber red" is nice it's just... well, textured, calling it a carbon fiber texture is a tad gracious. So, they'll probably be flat-out painted sometime later. Jen's thinking of doing the same when her Fiesta comes in, so we can set aside a day to work on them together ( Read more... )
