Finally settling in

Category Home Sweet Home

Well, after the longest of weekends, things are finally starting to settle down a little bit around the new joint. Only now can I ask myself, "So why, Gregg, did you feel it necessary to live for five years in a 3rd-story, walkup apartment?" In that time I have collected and then tossed into some tiny, unfilled space, about a million little doodads--whether they be race car-, or computer-, or photography-related. I try am becoming a spitting image of my father.

So anyways, I rented a van from Enterprise and succeeded to move most everything of size and substance from my apartment. The bed, most of the furniture, the remainder of the computer equipment, a few transmissions for the CRX, the wheels from the late, lamented S2000 that I am still trying to sell, and a bunch of other misc. crap all made it out to Arlington. There are still a few things of substance at the old place and I have some friends who are going to help out at the end of the month, but in the meantime I will be heading over there a few nights this week to clean, clean, clean.

Ya know, I might even have the place cleaned up by the end of the month!

Nah!

Try, try again

Category Four-wheeled toys
So earlier today I picked up the new(er) race car from Mitch Piper at Piper Motorsport. Mitch and his crew fabricate the best roll cages / safety equipment in the DC area. I have no problems writing Mitch a check for his work on a third car of mine. God knows, when I flipped ol' #72 out at Summit earlier this year, it was Mitch's cage that kept me in one piece (and not a smooshed  one).

So at this point, having already installed the race motor in the new tub, Eddie and I have to reinstall the gauges and move the suspension over from the carcass of the old car. Then it's off to the paint booth for a shot of Honda's Monte Carlo Blue (covers the Insight in the US and the S2000 in Europe and Japan). Although I had hoped to have the car ready for MARRS IV the weekend of June 14-15, it looks as though I'm going to have to wait it out until Hyperfest at Summit Point, July 5 and 6.

I can't wait!
