You’re keeping busy El Jefe.

Talking to a tuner in Central Mass about the Civic Si. He has some recommendations to turn it into a TT car. If all goes to plan the Si will go in for refurbishment and upgrades around the third week of Jan.

On the topic of the Si, as I was driving into work, i saw another Si. This was the galaxy grey metallic color that was one of my color choices back in 2008. It looked good, but I think age has been kinder to Rallye Red and Fiji Blue Pearl more so than the GGM. While a good color it doesn’t have that timeless quality like the Silverstone Metallic on the S2000.

Liked reading this article. I was a show and shine kind of guy that gradually lost interest in parking lot meets in favor of competition. But my early roots are still strong as I strive to keep the car as clean as possible. Ultimately we are all birds of the same sheet metal feather - whether we like polishing genders or glancing cones and other stuff off of them

Honda is bringing the Passport back. A reveal is planned for after Thanksgiving and the vehicle should go on sale early next year. This will slot in between the CR-V and the Pilot. I just wish they made the Element again.

I have needs!

I have to get the MGA and bring it home and pull it off of the trailer.

Then I have to take the lawnmower on the trailer and bring it to the storage barn, pick up the snow blower and bring it home.

Then I have to move the S into the storage barn where it will sit behind the MGA

Then I have to put the MGA back on the trailer and move it into storage for the winter.

We were blessed with 11" of snow yesterday - and you can just imagine the salt!

So, does anyone know how I can rent one of these?
