thank you guys for the positive vibes
 

Driveway filler 1(not zoom zoom) was delivered this morning via the Heidi's Towing Express. It's really awesome to have friends with benefits and the benefit is a rollback. Driveway filler 2 I can get whenever, I have the keys and the garage it's in is unlocked.

Hey look i am cleaning up again. One of these days it will be permanently as I try to change my hoardy habits. Took in 19 wheels and 11 batteries yesterday and walked out with some money to go to infinitenexus toward the BMW seeing as how I just sent my friend Gene with a rollback to snag it out of Armon's way.  BMW's lack of running condition has been traced to communication breakdown between the fuel pump in the tank and the ekps module. 
 

Arthur likes to sit in it with me as I work on things. Tinkering here and there, pulled the sunroof plug out and cleaned all the edges and reinstalled plus added a few rivets on the rear edge where there were no bolt holes to suck it up to the roof because it was sagging bad. They should incorporate a stiffening ridge on the rear flange like you get on a fiberglass hood. Anyway now it has a bead of clear silicone sealing it to the roof. Probably just keep tinkering as a diversion from the (flails arms wildly about the world) and keep pushing forward on the Corolla because it needs to be at the challenge in April. 
 

Next up is take the aluminum, copper, brass, and wiring scrap in for more money and space and just keep cleaning up the spaces around me to keep cleaning up the spaces inside my head. And build a shed. And fix the avalon(flex pipe blew), charger(LF caliper), ram(tires, rear axle seal and brakes)...
 

The former mazdeuce family rallykart has been outgrown by Colin, and will now be moving along to the axehealey family until they're too big, at which point we need to see how many GRM families it can get through before we all get old and die. 

Have a mazda5 coming this week to sell on behalf of my cousin, who got it from her brother, who got it from a GRM'er in VA about 8 years ago. Let me know if you want to be first in line on a 193k mile runner on i believe eibach springs that sounds like it needs pads/rotors and maybe some struts but is really decent. Cheap too. 

Have a corgi in a car.

oh E36 M3 all 3 cars in this are challenge eligible. I should run the avalon seeing as travis did just fine with the chopped to nothing rollovalon in 2020. I'm a 2gr believer. When I joined this forum somewhere around or beyond 20 years ago, if one of you said "future Patrick will have 3 foreign cars in front of the garage and several more inside it" I'd have laughed you off. Thank you, fellow dorks, for helping me broaden my horizons.
