Kind of a lot has happened since my last post!
I got hit…twice. Rear-ended into the car in front of me the first time, just rear-ended the second time. Wasn't moving either time. Repairs flawless. Should buy a dash cam… In addition to this, a neighbor at my old place dented and scratched the passenger side door a bit. I'll live with that until I collect enough damage to make a body shop trip worthwhile. Fucking LA drivers.
I think I'm almost at 9,000 miles or so. I drive a lot less because a motorcycle is far superior in LA. Happy miles, looking forward to many more. Just as few commuting ones as possible.
I haven't gone for a drive just for the sake of driving in a little while. Dustin (
@thedguy) came by with his S2000 and we went canyon carving back in October, and I don't know that I've done it since. Should remedy that sometime soon.
And on a related note, I think this spring will be a good time for some AutoX. And by "spring" I mean any day now, really. A nearby friend has an MR-S track car and a 996 C2 cabrio road car, and I think he wants to take them both there, so I'll likely tag along.
Full disclosure: I briefly flirted with the idea of selling the car for financial reasons, but the math just didn't work out with such a recent purchase. Besides, what would I do in three years? Buy another one just like, most likely.
Mods have been put on hold indefinitely. Yes, this includes wheels. Though once I scrub off what's left of these tires…
And now some pictarz:
