I see you have the end parking place. Good move.

Great looking Cayman, as the GTS 4.0 is the spec I would buy if I was in the market. I've owned two 911s over the years, but the latest generation seems too big to me. I'm sure it's great car, but the Cayman is more my speed at this point.

Great job on your shop thus far plus a nice collection of vintage Volkswagens. As for OCD, I don't see this as a problem! Keep up the good work.

Nice, but it will need one of these: https://www.thedrive.com/news/37132/a-replacement-bumper-for-the-2021-bmw-m3-and-m4-is-already-in-the-works

Same idea. Commercial quality vs. Home Depot special. You could probably use a split ductless unit for your new space for cooling/heating, but realize that they're one step up from a window unit as far as lifespan. The head of HVAC maintenance for the large manufacturing facility where I...

Since you live in the Southeast like me, I highly recommend buying one of these high quality dehumidifiers for your basement/shop area. https://crawlspace-diy.com/product-category/air-quality/ I got tired of buying the crummy ones from Lowes/Home Depot that only last a year or two. The...

Hey Jake, you might want to check this out on BaT: https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1965-honda-s90-2/ I thought of your posts when I saw this.

My guess is that the shingles are possibly asbestos, which is why they may not have been dealt with when the siding went on. It can be done, but is costly as ACM removal companies use specialized protective measures and charge according. Old materials must be bagged and disposed of in a...

I used DBA rotors with Hawk HPS (High Performance Street) pads front and rear. No track time, so they're fine for the street. The HPS pads are not too good if you do much track time at all. Rotors...

We had the previous gen 2013 Audi A3 Sportback, but TDI. Audi bought it back from us after 4.5 years and 50k miles for not much less than we paid for it. On top of that, they gave us a swinging deal on a new 2017 A4 with a free Q5 loaner for 2 months while the new car was on order. Audi has...

What kind of pads and rotors did you install? This is a subject of hot debate on this side of the pond for Elise/Exige.

This will totally change your life and priorities. What a blessing to have one of each the first time out. Congratulations!

Toyota needs to replace that awful transmission with one that doesn't hunt, replace rear drums with disc brakes, and make LED headlights an option for all trims. Otherwise, I'm sticking with my old Nissan D21. I went down the rabbit hole as well, as I've read your entire thread. I've owned a...

I'm not the nuttiest guy in my community, as my pal Steve has several interesting cars in his garage and in storage. Shown in the following photo is his Ferrari Testa Rossa replica, which was built on a '61 Ferrari chassis with a '63 Ferrari Lusso engine. The body is all aluminum and was...

I always liked E9s, ever since seeing one brand new in the metal back around 1973. It was in the tiny showroom that Global Imports had at their dealership back when it was located on Pharr Road in Buckhead, just a block off of Peachtree Street. I think it could only hold something like 2-3...

I see you have the Cup 'R' wheels on your Elise. I have the same ones now, but silver instead of black. I've kept my Sport Pack wheels, as they are original to the car. Mine were anodized vs. painted, so they were impossible to keep clean. The 5 spoke wheels I have now are painted and much...

Here's the other cars in the fleet. My wife has a 2017 Audi A4, which is front wheel drive only, as she wanted fuel economy that wasn't too much worse than the A3 TDI that Audi bought back from us. Also shown is my dad's old Nissan D21 pickup that he gave me when he could no longer drive. I...

Exactly, as there are plenty of inexpensive E36s to choose from. Even M3's are relatively cheap if not in pristine condition. One of my friends has about $10k in his old E30 track car, but no longer tracks his really nice E30 M3 street car due to its value.

Here are a few exterior shots. The house plan is from Southern Living and was designed by architect William Poole. It's called Blackberry Lane was their 'plan of the month' in October, 1994.

A few more showing the clear coat going down. Overall they used 6 gallons of clear and the floor turned out great.
