here’s where i geek out about my car February 12, 2009
Posted by brandon in : ramblings , add a commentnow, i know that no one actually reads my blog. and those of you who do, couldn’t care less where i’ve been this past week. but i feel like i owe the internet an apology. last week was supposed to be the ‘relaunch’ of my blog! and two posts in, i fizzled out. but i feel that if, given the chance to explain…. those 25 or so of you unique visitors i get a day will understand.
this saturday i bought a car. there. thats my excuse for being a recluse all week. and not just any car. a 1997 TURBO mitsubishi eclipse! alright now for the real story.
i’ve been searching for months for a good condition turbo eclipse 1997-1999. They are my favorite car. I’ve already owned one, and will probably never own anything else. Last Friday I found one…. 600 miles away in San Jose, CA. So, deciding for once to have some fun, i called up a friend, booked two tickets to San Jose and said lets go! Let the record show that the drive to vegas from San Jose is nothing but a straight boring line with nothing at all to look at for 8 hours. [i'll go into detail one day about the trip]
That ate up my saturday, and i’ve spent every waking minute since then working on it. I’ve stripped off my Intercooler, exhaust, turbo timer, and a million other mods from my old eclipse and installed them on my new eclipse. Aside from my stereo and subs, i think I am finally done. My hands are all forms of cut up, i have spent days out in the cold rain, but it was so worth it.
So there. That’s my lame excuse. I hope the internets will forgive me. And i’ll be back tomorrow with some real material [hopefully]
