Happy new year everybody!

Kinja'd!!!

This is just the tip of the iceberg

Last night I thought about how eventful 2017 was, here’s a little write up of all car stuff, which quite frankly, is most of the events anyway :)

Car Shuffling

Beginning of the year, I bought a !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , discovered I couldn’t !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , took it back to the shady dealer who sold it to me, got screwed.
I then bought a !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , which I took to the first ever Oppomeet Europe, had a lot of fun with my little hatchback for 3 months, and !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! to my neighboor after 3 months with a nice profit.
In between, I sold my !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! to a good friend of mine, after he promised I wouldn’t bother me with any issues the car might have in it’s lifetime.
I then got another !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , drove it for a few months, took it to the Oppositelock Alpine Tour, and sold it just before winter, managing to !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! for what the car had cost me.
Lastly, I found a !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! parts car, that had all the stuff my broken V6 needed, allowing me to finally take it !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! .

I also helped getting new cars for my !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , my other sister’s !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! .

The Shop

I spent a lot of time in the shop this year, finally getting stuff done that had been piling up.
I !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! of the 6 cylinder Bel Air, put it in the car, rebuilt the front suspension, gave it a !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , and then stalled for several month. I’m currently on it again.
The V8 Bel Air got a new !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , giving the interior a much better look.
I rebuilt a slightly !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! for the Pajero, changed it’s !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , and finally changed the !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! in the back.
I finally got to work on the 505 V6, rebuilding the !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , rear axle, and the brakes as well as some smaller stuff to get it back to the road.

Events

Oppomeet of course! A really nice trip with a lot of friendly people which share the same unhealthy relationship with cars. My first experience on the !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , or any track really. An equally frightening and fun experience.

The Oppo Alpine roadtrip: breathtaking scenery, fun roads, lots of miles, lots of inrteresting and beautiful cars, and entertaining !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! .

I crashed a !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! meet a friend of mine organized with my Chevy.

After having been told a lot of times I should do weddings with my Chevy, I tried it, I did 4 weddings in total, 1 was my cousin, 1 was the !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , and 2 weddings were random couples that replied to my ad.
I won’t do weddings for strangers anymore, people don’t respect the car nearly as much as I expect them to, resulting in damage and headache.

Good luck beating this, 2018!
