I'm sorry. I'm overdosing on purple. Too much purp. I can't purp no more. Here's some proper jeep.

Nice springtime car photo.

I wanna paint my rims on my next day off, you know, instead of doing something mechanically useful to the car, but will only have one day to do it. And I only have one pair of jack stands. Hmm...
LET'S GET DANGEROUS

Oh yeah, gotta remove the "CHECK ENGINE" bulb before inspection next month, too...

I only have one pair of jack stands too, so when I painted my rims I did them in pairs. I did it over a few days, but you could probably pull it off in one day even doing them two at a time.

I toasted the clutch in my Acura today (I knew it was getting towards the end of its life, but apparently one last super steep hill start was enough to make it start slipping). Unfortunately my mechanically inclined brother in law is currently in Texas for work and my father in law is in New York on vacation. So I might have to actually pay a professional to get it done.

I had to do this.

Just got tickets to the Northeast Grand Prix in July to surprise my son with. He's going to absolutely lose his shit.

That should be nice. Never been to Lime Rock, but I've seen lots of races from there on the TV. Have fun!

Dude, why can't I be engaged to a Kardashian?

“The basic structure of an engine can act as a soundboard for the movements happening inside it, just like a bell. So we try to develop a bell that does not ring very well,” said Dominic Evans, NVH specialist at Ford Europe, in a release.

So, no ring mod sounds?

I think I've found my favorite car ever:
