I had to wash it today. It is supposed to rain tomorrow, and I am gone Wednesday, Thursday, and possibly Friday. So today was the outside. I can do the inside tomorrow under cover while it is raining. I am starting to get excited - more for the trip with Toby than the actual car show. A confession? I’m not dressing up. I have decided to check out of that whole Radwood tradition.

Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!!

I hope I don’t come off badly saying this, but I have a cool car. It still makes me smile and there are still details I want to do. It just fits me - even it’s slow, low performance specs.

I will be honest Oppo, I have been feeling down this afternoon since I saw the post about Luke Perry’s death and clicked on the link. I wasn’t a fan, but he was a big star in my younger years. 52 years old. I will be 48 in May. It just reminds me of how close I came to shoving off, and how easy it is to go at any time. Sorry to end on a downer. The next post will be cheerier.

That wheel and tire package was the right choice.

Also there’s nothing wrong with having pride in your car. Especially a classic.  I love mine, and it’s a POS, but it makes me smile even right now when it’s been sitting for months.

Sorry you’re so down, but it can only get better from where you are.
Trust me on that. Meanwhile...
Wait/What/ Wow? !
Is/ was thi s available on the lower 48, and WTF is this ?
I mean, I see what the badges say, but yowsa! Targa? “Slow” can be taken ca re of, er, that is, I’m told.
Some drooling retired noob with disposable income I happen to know requested that I ask that/those questions , I’m just facilitating, yadda, yadda, yadda.
I’m just an innocent Matrix owner asking for a friend ...

You do have a cool, unusual car.  Enjoy the hell out of it! That’s why we work, to do the things we want to do.  As far as the other stuff, well, don’t let worry rule and you will be fine for a good long while.

I want to say that I appreciate that you are (seemingly) a successful lawyer and are rocking punk stickers on your classic Toyota.

Not too long ago I wouldn’t have typically put all of those things together.   Then again “typically” is kind of bullshit.

Seems to be false advertising, ad does not mention Vespa parts or Volkswagens.
