RNN14 was out of commission for a couple days while I waited for a new outer tie-rod end. Took a couple tries to get the right part… finally went to Brasso and learned that 95 Sentra’s share the same tie-rod ends. Easy fix. Car is back together. It snowed on the 27th… hard.

Not lonely, and not hachiroku driver. Yet, definitely, I will remain a 86 owner for at least a few more days. Yoshiko seems about as torn as me… and I’ve been flooded with emails and advice from various friends (mostly Japanese). Canadian 86 owners are more than fed up with me, I’m sure. I figure it’s the smart choice… trading […]
