To do list:
-windshield (inspection is due!)
-both front wheel bearings

-wash / clay-bar / wax (har!)
-interior detail
-replace release bearing and inspect clutch disc (disc springs were iffy last time I looked)

-install Skunk2 upper a-arms (front) after I buy the newer ball joints (alignment also)
-replace the suspension bushings that need attention
-get ready for a timing belt / waterpump / thermostat replacement
-hook up the cruise control (almost 2 years now)

Plans:
-spend all winter fixing up stuff and keeping the miles off of her
-attend the Expo #4 in AZ
-decide what to do with her after the expo

LOL...when I met you at Nopi, one of the first things I asked you was when you last washed your car. You said: "Not since Expo3."

At least you are having fun with your car.

thats gotta be a record of some sort

for using the car for what it was intended for, as well as daily life duties.

The 'paper' on the wall says Civil Engineer... but who knows.

I 'would' post up the 4 page word.DOC (9,440 charaters) that has all of the work/track events/etc. that the car has done... but fear laughter.

Lots of respect for the record you keep and the way the car is treated. Although I don't drive my own anything like that, sometimes I always get the feeling that the car wishes that I did. Here's to three more years.
