Hella H4 headlamps are on the way, too. Yep, gotta see where we're going. (The Nissan 240SX already had Hella H4s since I got a set for my dad when he owned the car.)

I love this place. Jerry has a grassroots alternative to Photoshop; meanwhile, Curtis thinks that the right thing to do with an early-70s big Chrysler is put flares on it to make it WIDER.

True story: Today Carl asked me if I want box flares on the wagon.

well you'd need at least 15x10s up front and 15x12s or 14's in the rear to fill those up. steamroller.

They are good enough for a train they should work on the wagon.

I think I'm pretty happy with the looks now. I didn't paint the wheels, either--just hit them with some Simple Green.

It must be a cool feeling when people want your 911 and your station wagon.

And I drove it to the office today. I know that we make sports car mags, but it's just too much fun.

I drove my boat today, too. Your wagon dwarfs it!

Nice shot. I almost felt guilty parking in JG's space for the Volt, but we have company today so the lot is full. Plus JG's working from home today.

Is there something heavy in the wayback or do we have a sagging spring issue?

The back was empty--I was at Lowe's to grab a paintbrush and some hand cleaner. Ideally, I'd like to drop the front a tad.

Like cake, it's tasty. And also made of atoms.

Thank you!

Last night we drove it to the beach to watch the rocket launch. It's perfect for stuff like that.
