It turns out that /r/prequelmemes is the funniest thing on the internet. A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.

JDM armrest extension to make the STI more comfy. It’s basically a Cadillac now. Weird that this is the first comfort mod I’ve ever done to a car, I think.

On the phone with my mom today and she starts talking about how much harder taking care of a new baby will be for my brother vs his wife. He only gets 2 weeks parental leave, and she’ll have 3 months.

Turo rental in Charleston, SC and I’m liking this car so much more than I thought I would.

Here are some photos from my last rallycross with the Neon. Came in 2nd place in stock FWD out of 6 people. The top three were less than 2 seconds apart over 6 runs, or 1 cone penalty if you’d rather think of it that way.

Finished 2nd out of 6 in stock FWD yesterday. I have come to actually prefer the rallycross rules of adding all times together over autocross’s “best lap wins." Makes for much more intense competition and requires way more consistency.

Here’s the latest drama from my neighborhood facebook group:

That 12 year old car has aged very well. I think the 2005-2008 time period will be a mini golden age when we look back. Still lots of NA engines to choose from, big screens on the dash were still optional, plenty of safety, and better styling than the late 90's and early 2000's.

I need one of you to buy this so I don’t have to convince my wife to let me fly to Georgia and drive this home.
