I feel great now that I get to drive the 2 again. Brace yourselves, for the onslaught of bright blue mid-engine content has only just begun.

I’m bored trying to write an opinion piece for a website... and also waiting for a Prius C to review.

I’m bummed that I had to pay an arm and a leg for some silly CEL that warranty denied, but glad to have my car back.

What was going on with the MR2?

Ah, is this the 4C you’ve posted? CEL is how you know it’s functioning as intended ;)

I took my MR2 in to have a crankshaft seal replaced, and engine parts just started disintegrating. About half of the engine got rebuilt this weekend. It would seem the previous owner did a rebuild years ago but didn’t tighten things to factory specs.

Kinja'd!!!

I’m just glad to be driving it again though.

Ooh, which site? If relevant, please share to Oppo later if you want :)

What’re your expectations for the Prius C?

That reminds me, I need to set aside time to see that too. I missed Ant Man & The Wasp when it was in theaters too and still haven’t seen it yet either.

I’ve seen the rest though and made this meme when I saw the bill for my engine rebuild:

Kinja'd!!!

I wanted to be a journalist instead of an engineer (but I was discouraged by a series of things, and I’m happy to be in engineering) so I was baited into two projects ... I want to make as many advances as possible in the winter break because I have nothing else to do and my life is ( temporarily ) meaningless.

First, I’m helping reorganize a car website with some more experienced people (I can’t name it yet) because they want to focus it a bit more. The Prius C thing is to support an article I wrote called “your next car should be a hybrid”

Second, some friends coaxed me into starting an opinion website with them. I t is in Spanish, it’s barely up yet, and I was also asked not to give anyone the name, even if I pay for 33% of the expenses.

It’s not my first rodeo either, I was very privileged to be given space at a website called Parentesis.com a few years ago, and I wrote five or so articles for them (a bit like Mack Hogan, but with much less exposure ) and then we parted ways.

About the Prius C; I have very high expectations. I drove a regular Prius a year ago and I didn’t find it very revolting.... I think that the compactness, engine, and the body style make it a very good car.

T he CEL was on my Jag. The Alfa has been bulletproof for 5 (circle one: years / months / days) .

Who did such an extensive job on your MR2? You have a trusted specialist?

Didn’t go to work today. Cold took a turn for the worse with a low fever so was working from home instead. I need a nap or something.

Blue and oil related, (though not mid- engined..)

I found a local shop that specializes in older import vehicles and I’ve been taking it there for the past 2 years. Everything they’ve repaired has stayed that way, quite reliably.

This weekend’s work was the most extensive surgery yet, and we’ve crossed the threshold of “should have engine-swapped it 2 years ago to save money.”

Keeping a car stock is overrated when OEM parts are all discontinued and/or “special order.”

*sees characters Z, 3, and 2 in sequence*

I know exactly what you mean. Wishing you best of luck and least of cost.

(I have a friend who owns a Z32 that convinced me NOT to buy one; I still want one even though I’ve heard all the horror stories)
