    We should collectively ignore winter.

        • The storm I have been waiting for got here and still warm, no snow, just pouring down steamy rain...I put both snowmobiles in back, and finished up the red car to street legal. Wow, so nice to drive compared to the stock one. Washed it in the rain...put up an awning to expand outdoor lawn chair area. Put the 88 out in the rain and the 90 in the garage. Still cannot believe we had no winter!!

            Mock-up of some '90 626 parts for my Festiva S project. They'll be reconditioned, the handle pockets painted or dyed black, and the armrests/door pulls covered with black vinyl. Again, this is a mock-up, so only the concept is being applied. These parts won't be mounted to OEM panels, rather much nicer custom panels. Think BMW.

            In case you're wondering, the armrests screw into the OEM location.
            They look like the Honda parts I got. The Honda parts also had a power window switch at the top that could be removed without affecting the looks. Got those too.

                Do you have a pic? I'd love to see that.

                  I guess some of us have that special ability, enhanced by geographic location. Haha

                  • Today i noticed specks all over the rear of my car, apparently my headgasket is leaking oil down the block and blowing down the underside. Still runs good though.

                          Mine does the same thing. Oil leaks down the block and all over the transmission from the head.
                          Still runs nicely though, and oil level never drops on the dipstick, but the block and transmission are an absolute mess.

                            • ^lol. At least where you are you can expect it at any given time. Here in Ohio we can get 60* and sun, 40* and rain, 30* and snow, or just plain drabby all in the course of 1 day. Take it all in for a week and you can see a 65* temp change. That happened here a couple weeks ago. I think I am gonna seriously consider moving again. Or not, and just talk about like 99.9% of everyone that lives in Ohio. LMAO

                              Oh yeah and I bought #10 yesterday. And finished prepping my gauge cluster and started working on my door panels om #9 today.
