Re: Noob that doesn't quite have a roadster yet from Middle TN ***or does he?
Ok, so clearly i need to post an update after 2 years!
Since posting this, i've proposed to Charlotte (reenacted in manga):
I bought a basket case B13 Sentra 1.6, rehabbed it for way to much money, and sucked my way through a season and a half of ill-handling miserty. Did some cool stuff with it though. Tail of the dragon, Trackday at nashville superspeedway, couple autocrosses, etc. I recently sold it to fund the roadster purchase.
Poor Subaru got hit by a guy without insurance, our insurance covered it and he's been ok:
Adopted Majo the kitten:
We bought a house!
And we got married!
Charlotte bought an '05 Civic:
And as of 8-12 I have my roadster ^_^
It's a '90 A Pkg, totally stock. 5-speed 197k Hardtop, new softtop w/ glass.
Some minor stuff wrong, driver's window regulator, alternator/battery, etc.
So far I have
Drove it home with almost no headlights due to a dead battery
Replaced the battery
Removed about 500lbs of junk from the glove box, console, trunk, etc.
Recovered $2.17
