Hi Oppo! I haven’t been around at all lately, but I figured I’d update finally. Life is crazy, but I’ve been managing to excel since moving out.

I sold my MR2 in October of 2014, because it couldn’t keep up with my 40 mile daily commute, and I couldn’t provide it the attention it deserved. Despite that, I managed to sell it for a profit (Tavarish, notice me). Later, I discovered the new owner had made a block viewing window after turning up the boost on my CT27. In two years, I put about 18k miles on a new classic, so that was kind of cool. I still miss her.

For about a year, I drove a 2012 Golf, with a five speed manual. It’s a fantastic little car, and arguably the most responsible thing I’ve ever done. Since then, I’ve put about 27,000 miles on it. It’s fun to drive, and I was competitive at autocross, but it doesn’t ever try to kill me like the MR2 did. Too boring.

In December, I decided I wanted something faster, and purchased a 2007 Z06 with 20k miles. Surprised the family with it at Christmas, too. I’ll be having the exhaust valves/guides replaced soon, and probably buying some tires. Otherwise, nothing too crazy for now.

The car dominates at autocross- almost feels like cheating. Was faster than a new Viper around the course, by a pretty good margin.

How’ve you all been doing?

Just adapting to new sheeet :] My Audi’s trans when BOOM. I’m slowly fixing it so I could sell it. In its place, I got an XC90 and Z4. I think I have your number still. If there are any car meets or events in our area that I know of, i’ll let ya know homie :]

I love me some Z06. More than the ZR1. I don’t think I need all that much horsepower, and I like the NA motor. And I like handling more than horsepower.

I got a new number! Send me an email (thereign@outlook.com) and I’ll send it over.

Sucks about the Audi, really. Wasn’t it auto? I think I should rib you for that. Z4 is seriously cool though, and XC90 are really nice. Seems like you’re doing well too :)

I prefer the Z06, at least in terms of engine. The 427 is a cool powerplant, and likely the last of its kind from GM, I think it will be a collector’s item.

I think it also went in the new Z/28, so if you ever want the same motor twice, there you go!
