spring is here

finally, the first garage day of the year.

i can at long last open my trunk; thanks to macdizzle for kicking in the board the amp was attached to and allowing us to crawl through and poke at the latch for a while. clever kz fixed the lock cylinder and while the back of my car may have the seats carelessly tossed in atop the ruins of the amp wiring and particle board, i can get to my ramps and spare fluids for the first time in 3 months. might even be able to put some groceries back there too.

steve's all nice and shiny, washed with that mr clean hose attachment thing; new oil, topped off gear oil, failed at fixing my winshield crack...no matter; it was a beautiful day rounded off perfectly by some scrapes, bruised knuckles, grilled steaks, and plentiful guinness. ah, at long last.

now back to the real dilemma that's been churning in my head for the last 2 days. that money in my savings account...buy a beater this summer for autocross, or save for a wedding gown...
