My wife and I were seemingly gifted a Scamp camper from a relative (I say seemingly because her folks have taken a shining to it so it appears it more of a sharing situation at the moment) but our Outback, best as I can tell, isn’t suited to the job of towing particularly well, given its relatively small tow numbers…
...that’ll pass me by. Second friend that’s offered to sell their stock 02 WRX. First was a mom-driven 1-owner (friend’s mom was selling) and we had to pass on it. Now another friend is getting rid of theirs and I probably have to pass on it as well.
We’ve got some friends that are going to loan us a 96 Corolla for a month or so. We’re a one car family, and have been for some time, but there’s the odd few days each month where we wished we had two rides, so this is a trial run for life with two vehicles.
Hopelessly in love with the poor man’s 2002. Told my wife last night to start budgeting for me to get one, even if it’s a rolling shell. Want to do a full interior and mostly true exterior restoration when I finally have one, with more modern running gear and power. No previous restoration (or even much mechanical)…
Got let go from my full-time job in July (downsizing). I’m a freelance video editor/motion graphics designer and animator/occasional photographer and photo editor. I do a lot of contracted work for U.S. Soccer where I travel with the men’s or women’s national team shooting and editing video, so that’s pretty cool,…
Too excited not to share. Just got my Sunday singles match tickets. Anyone else planning on going next year?
I drive a stock 91 YJ and my friend Nathan’s is a 2007 Commander on a 2” lift. Both performed pretty well, although I got hung up a couple of times thanks to no lockers, loose gravel/sand, and a tight trail. Great day though, and the aspens are gorgeous right now.
Stopped by Back in the Day Classics in Carson, CA today. I’m new to my love of older cars, but some of this stuff was so cool. I hate I didn’t take more photos, as I spent most of the time just ogling, but these are some of my favorites.
How much does it suck? Lost my job a couple weeks ago and have seen a few postings around here looking for salespeople. I’ve always known more than the person selling me my car, I’m friendly, and I talk to people easily. I’d imagine I’m probably too honest to be a good salesman, but I can’t help wanting to be that guy …
After the weekend’s fiasco, we got the old gas tank back in the YJ yesterday. Doesn’t seem to be leaking, so I bet it was a loose hose, rather than a leak at the tank.
Spent a good portion of the day replacing the gas tank on the Jeep. Was told by the parts yard that the tank I bought from them to replace the leaking one (didn’t see a leak when we pulled it) was clean and leak free. Didn’t see any holes/leaks when I inspected the replacement. Took the tank home a few days ago and…
I know it’s ugly...but goodness, the want is strong.
It’s great and all, but it’s never quite what you imagined it’d be.
That, good people, is my dilemma. My friend owns a mom-driven 2002 WRX wagon, which is effectively my dream car (we all have weird ones), and would be willing to sell it sometime this year for about $6,000. It’s astonishingly clean, and hasn’t had a finger laid on it, given the mom-ness that’s been driving it since…
