Mission accomplish. The GT is gone. At least the replacement is new and not used so I haven't totally had to compromise everything. No it doesn't involve ponies, but it is still a familiar make to me. *nods*

Sooo shortly after I bought my 65 and drove it home I noticed one day after parking it that there was something sticky on the passenger side floorboard. Given the location I was thinking it may be the heater core. It didn't seem to be dripping though so I let it slide for a while. Well finally the car overheated on the freeway and boiled over. As ( Read more... )

New season starts in a couple of weeks for us. I won't be playing. Once this project ends that I'm on I'm going to have to go try my new Kaiser coverage (Once again fuck you very much Blue Cross for the $4K appendix) and have my arm looked at. A few months ago I went into the wall with someone and his body rolled over my arm against the wall. I ( Read more... )

I'm tired of these muther ( Read more... )

So in 24 hours things are a go for my first track day in two years. The suspension is installed on the Cobra and everything seems ready. I'm stoked about this but also scared about how much more intense and unforgiving Infineon can be. Keeping it rubber side down and out of the barriers will be a priority there for sure ( Read more... )

Looks like I got my confirmation today. In less than two weeks I'm going to be running open track at Sear Point (Infineon) Raceway. I spent two years working at that track and never managed to get a single lap in. It's also the most advanced track I've attempted, so yeah I'm kinda nervous about it. Once I get warmed up to the track and get a few ( Read more... )

Well I'm back from our little boat trip and driving tour of the coast last week with the mustang club. It was nice to get away for a while and see the coast again. It's not *that* unusual of a trip really with as often as I'm up there at the house, but we did the drive thru tree and the Avenue of the Giants again. I hustled it up to Gold Beach ( Read more... )

OOooooooo Gabriel Iglesias is gonna be at Cache Creek Saturday Oct 30th. Hmmmmm I should go... other people should go too. *nods*

I've been playing hockey for a long time now. Tonight was a first. I actually got punched in the face... well he tried anyway. We were playing a team that's loaded with silver players that like running up the score. Well one of them got cute trying to cut past me on the boards and I smashed him into the wall for it. He felt I crosschecked him to ( Read more... )

Progress so far! As I'm sure you all know I just can't ever leave the toys alone, so the first wave of deorative modifications to the 09 finally came in and I got them installed over the last couple of weeks. The wheels I wanted didn't actually fit when they came in so I had to settle for a more expensive set. They actually look better on the car ( Read more... )
