Today I drove over what I can only assume was a door skin or fender... Had cars behind me and traffic in the opposing lane with nowhere to go... Thankfully didn't seem to hurt anything, and the alignment is still in track. Ughh, people... Don't even get me started on yesterday...
In other, better, news my glasses for nighttime driving should be here tomorrow. -------------------- 2001 Miata LS 5-speed

Odds are Billy Bob Joe(that's one person) was transporting it in the back of his pickumup truck and a strong wind blew it out because it wasn't tied down.

I went to several salvage yards and picked up a new driver's side seat belt and a 7th gen Antenna assembly for my S2000 swap for $40.

Today I had some dìckhead lorry pull out in front of me within 100 feet from where the exit ramp is. Happens all the fùcking time, it was just now at dusk so you can't tell me they didn't see headlights approaching...

I think the KAAZ LSD is $1200. It's cheaper to source an E153 with LSD than it is to put LSD in your S54.

I don't have to stare down the outside line anymore, yay. That and I wasn't blinded by the jackass in my rear-view either. I suspect they'll nullify dìcks with HID's in reflector housings too. For those with light sensitivity I highly suggest them, great $10 spent. In sad news as I pulled into my driveway apparently there is all of a sudden a 6 inch drop off... Guess what I'll be doing with my free-time tomorrow... -------------------- 2001 Miata LS 5-speed

Sunday, I did the valve cover gasket on the GT.
Yesterday, I made sure it wasn't leaking after letting the FIPG cure for 24 hours. All's well.  Today, I bought MORE crap for the car. Ugh. -------------------- Has no more Celicas

Today I sanded and repainted my wiper arms. No more rust FTW. Gotta find a better paint though. I think this paint will scratch off.
