You just had to miss my silver wagon because it's not as fancy as the fun colors

850 highs are REALLY focused. With my LEDs the reach I have is crazy. However I need to add a floodlight or something so I can see better in corners at close range.nice long range scanners!!!
The kid who owns it grew up in 7/9 series turbo estates, so that makes sense. He and I were more interested in the R than the kid who drove it there lol (it was like his brother's car or something).

Sunday morning? Back at it parking up with the R in New Hampshire.

Then I had to zip out to Ohio for a family gathering. Hit a raccoon on the Merritt Parkway. Oops. No damage I could see beyond the fog light fortunately, although I did pick up some fur in the wheel. Also new record! Made it from Home to Hazelton PA without stopping. Successfully avoided all the large wildlife.

Yep, drove to Ohio for family brunch at Cracker Barrel....well not really but that's where we ended up eating lol. Yes, we had multiple drivers to pull off this timeline.

Watched some clown drive up the center barrier on the Ohio Turnpike after being all over the road for a while before that. Definitely the worst driving I have ever seen firsthand. Somehow this guy had one side of his car 3 feet in the air and just kept driving afterwards. I was shocked he didn't roll it or bounce off and crash on the other side. Eventually stopped behind an attenuator truck in the left breakdown lane. I thought he was going to hit that too.

317k while my dad was driving. This car is at nearly 11k miles this calendar year and still 2 months to go 🤯 since the fuel pump replacement there have been absolutely 0 issues so it's hard to justify picking anything else for my road trips right now. I almost didn't even bother taking tools on this trip.

And we're back in the garage. I really need to give this thing a bath soon but the Bead Maker is still working great so it should wash up pretty easily.

7 years ago yesterday, this car came home with me.
![Wheel Tire Vehicle Car Hood]()
Yesterday is the first day since that it sits freshly washed and waxed in a real garage, as it was the day I got it.

The real garage is a big win for productivity, too. I was able to wash in the nice weather on New Year's Day and then set aside for later the rest of the project that didn't require such nice weather.

Only damage to the paint that I found for the year. I think I got hit by a stray frisbee in a parking lot (dangers of working in the sailing industry). Luckily it's super shallow and the Meguiar's #7 hides it so I won't have to take any abrasive action. Amazing that I can drive 11k miles, including over 20 moving trips, and a stray frisbee is what gets me lol.

OMG, so many typos in my post! But, yes, @parsnip has a nice garage as well. @UT OLI ‘s new one looks good. I don’t think we’ve seen photos but I imagine @Magnus Cars wouldn’t buy a house with anything too terrible. I’m sure we’re forgetting others.

If I can get off my bum, I'll be making a small dent in progress on mine this year.

I have some big upgrades planned
Some functional lighting that is maybe a little closer to meeting code and a wall plate on the light switches would be a nice start lol. Am I going to need to start a thread for my garage?
