Every time I use ours I think of the scene in City Slickers where Billy Crystal asks Curly if he's killed anyone yet and Curly replies that the days ain't over yet. Thankfully I haven't cut myself with ours yet.

9:15 AM (only because the screen tells me so) and I'm not sure what day it is since I started 3 day work weeks at the first of the year.  Gray fog and rain not helping.   To my credit I have shaved / showered and had breakfast...

Neighbor and I called a wellness check on the older guy who lives between us today, and they found him where he's been for "probably a couple weeks."

Both of us typically keep some kind of track of him, but he stopped going out around when temperatures got frigid and icey (we all stopped going out), then we went on vacation.

 

No friends or family in any database, almost certainly no will. I'm sad, both for him and for us losing a really nice neighbor, who was a great car guy and incredibly into NASCAR.

 

No clue what happens now, but we figure we will try to get an obituary into the local paper at least. Give your loved ones a hug, and if you don't have any loved ones please try to keep your phone connected, or give a neighbor a key.

I did a good deed today.

I was early for an appointment and noticed a young guy struggling with a flat on his very new, very nice looking black Mazda 3 GT turbo. He was trying but I could see he didn't really know what to do. He had the jack in, and was just starting to jack it up. So I parked, walked over, asked first, then changed it for him, explaining what I was doing as I was doing it.

He looked really relieved.

The Mustang is the first new performance car I have bought with an automatic.  I really like it.  Wouldn't want my NA Miata to be an auto but I'm more than likely to stick with automatics in the future, especially if they are going to be my daily driver.

Never owning a Mazda I've always been a fan of the factory RX7 13" wheels.

C. I think the GSL-SE wheels still look the best, but I also suspect that's because of the car they came on. If the wheels you posted came in a larger size and on the GSL-SE, I'd probably like them more.

These may have been 14.

I am fairly sure that the Cosmo had 4x4.5 bolt pattern, too.

I really enjoyed the heck out of the "Hazbin Hotel" animated series on Amazon, and am currently suffering from the earworm nature of several of the musical numbers.

Through decades of hoarding and the GRM NYG, I now own two tiny, obsolete turbochargers that are effectively identical aside from different turbine housings. And now I'm once again thinking about either putting one of them on a car I don't like or both of them on a car I do.
