Everything is a blur. The monstrosities of life have overwhelmed me. Stay cool and keep your wits.
My camera died. Vancouver was difficult. I drove like shit. I did nothing except embarrass myself, and I let the difficult parts of life destroy what could have been good. Nevertheless, stronger friendships have been formed. I have new goals in driving, and a new realization of what is possible. Ambrose you have opened my eyes. I’m coming.
I have a new car lined up to purchase. This weekend has however made me question once again getting rid of the AE86. Time in a car is valuable. Those with great speed, have developed that speed by developing a great relationship with their cars. At the auto-x this weekend, that was 100% the truth. We see guys who have been driving the same car for 10 years, and doing things that I would not have thought possible.
Furthermore, a recent compression test of my motor revealed a new result. 150/150/150/160psi. Not great numbers, but fair and healthy. A recent tune up has given me a lot more pep, I’m looking forward to driving it on the weekend. I also finally got rid of my rear end whine. The car is much more tolerable everyday, and I have few concerns about it in the long term.
It’s hard to enjoy 100hp though, after driving a car with 300hp over the weekend.
Of course… maybe I’ll just move to Vancouver and you’ll never see me again. The VCMC is amazing, and makes me think hard about what goes on at the CSCC. No discredit to anyone… but we HAVE to improve.
I’ve still got big choices to make though. Two turbo’s and 4WD is really convincing.
