Incredibly awesome 350 mile motor today. Here's a tiny part of it - hellacious switchbacks up to Orchard Gap, VA

Well it's an apartment, and I'd like to limit the investment and the work to return to stock when it's all said and done.

I washed and clayed my car today, my digital camera is now exclusively an art camera, since every photo ends up like this:

Waxing and vacuuming come tomorrow. I also repaired about 15 chips on the front with touch-up paint... kind of wishing I had a clear bra, and clear stone guard protectors in front of the rear wheels.

Sounds like your engine needs a new gerbil, it's crying out that it's exhausted.

Interesting art camera, pressure get on the image CCD?
