Before I get all gitty and start turning wrenches on my new car, I needed to take care of some cleaning/maintenance/organizing.  I know, not exactly edge-of-your-seat post material... but read on and you'll be mildly entertained.  

Ok!  I bought a car!  

You know those deals that come up every now and then on a project someone has put a lot of time and effort into, and something went wrong or it was never finished, and they're selling it off at a pretty crazy low price?  You think to yourself, "Does this guy know how much he's losing?" then you check your bank account and go "ugh, I can't swing this, I don't have the space", or you even bring it up to the significant other, who shuts you down with one look of her eyes. 

Sounds like a Talking Heads song, eh?  

Well, I've had an idea for a website/blog like this for over a year now, but never had the true motivation to start it.  Then, for no reason at all, I went and crashed my finished 1991 MR2 at a rainy track day event this winter.  After the wet Seattle winter subsided, I stopped spending lonely nights in the garage wimpering at the chassis that used to be a lot longer,  and got a plan together.  It was time to rebuild... faster! stronger! lighter! better balanced! more expensiver!
