Congrats! We are headed to grand bend this Sunday you should come and break her in. Private track rental.$165 per person there may be a spot for if your interested.

Thanks for the offer; however, I am staying down in Windsor visiting family for the weekend.

That was definitely a contributing factor in the colour choice... or lack thereof.

Here it is after a quick wash and wax:

I like the cloth seats . I'm not a fan of leather . I also like the manual transmission but these TR6060's suck for drag racing . They are very cranky under load .

So am I.

Maybe it is a manual transmission thing? Regardless, it does sound pretty aggressive for a stock car.

Put about 800kms on the car today. A total blast on the drive home to Ottawa from Windsor. It didn't even blink in the rain, such a nice road car.



Cleaned it up and tucked it away.



Gotta take that stupid splitter guard off.

 

[motorhead]

Stupid splitter guard deleted, tethered hood pins added. I put a couple of o-rings under the hitch pins to help keep them from sliding around... I read about that trick on the internet.

We are planning on setting up another weekend at the track soon. Hopefully you can make it this time.

Another day, another mod.



These things are pointless if you don't share them.

IMO, that’s truly the best kind.

I have never allowed a single adult to ever sit in the back of my old Hellcat. That is why I got the rear seat delete this time but car seats...with kids in the backseat....with a cup holder for juices and boogers a flyin I couldn't do it man. I am having anxiety just thinking about what's going to happen back there and it is not even my car.

I can get new upholstery, I cannot turn back time to regain the memories lost from not bringing my family along with me.

Thankfully at 4 and 6 they aren't too messy.

At the risk of sounding cliched and sappy, cherish these times. Even though my three sons have grown up to be great human beings with children of their own, I sometimes regret getting stressed out about the little things when they were young. When I did, I missed out.

Not sappy at all. It is just a car, and it can be cleaned, polished, painted, repaired or replaced. My Dad was really good about sharing his toys and building automotive experiences with my brother and I. Imagine being 18 years old and driving a blacked out '86 Buick T-type to school or drag racing in an L89 396 powered '81 Malibu (both that we built as a family). He didn't have to share, but he did. My kids have the car bug - so how can I not cultivate that further in order to strengthen our bond?

I look forward to them getting their licenses and asking to borrow a car, then pointing them to the garage and saying: take your pick.
