check-in - what are you driving?

Tue Nov 6 21:42:10 EST 2018

I still have my B14, but it has not moved under its own power since 2013.
It had sat for a few years before getting it ready for the Atlanta
convention.  It’s very close to rolling over to 100k miles, which is part
of the reason I don’t drive it. The Koni/GC suspension was too rough for
me, so it was sold and a set of Hyperco springs was found and paired with
some Motivational rear mounts, but it sits on junk yard shocks until I get
around to replacing those.  Daily duties move between a 2004 Forester XT or
a Evo 9, mostly the Evo these days.  Between running and keeping up with an
8 year old, a simple clutch job has been drug out to almost 8 weeks for the
Forester.  I also recently took ownership of a DE-T powered 98 Sentra,
which hasn’t been started in 7 years, so I have a garage and driveway full
of cars that don’t work.
