Every time I've "settled for less" rather than miss out, the perfect car pops up. That why I've learned to stop looking after I make a purchase, keeps me from kicking my own ass.

Make sure you try to do some rust protection if you end up picking up a southern car. No sense in picking something up to have it rot up in a few years.

BTW, if you have an e36 ... get some glass euros.

I was told today that a family road trip would be a good thing.
Honestly a great car and deal would deserve the cost of shipping too for simplicity. But if she wants to get outta town ... who am i to argue.
South bound for sure. Woot.

Brick boy, have we met?

Meet the G that held me.





'Thor' was a beast. 91 745 with the boost cranked up to 13psi. Multitasking soccer parent ran a red light and totaled him.
Sorta what happened to 'Jenny' the ruby SER above..
Grrr.

I fear some clueless idiot crashing into 'Jerry'...





But with today's gas prices, i may have to put him in the daily rotation...

Got a recipe?

I've heard 3 parts ATF to 1 something else. That's about it for homebrew...

Also keep an eye out for them where you least expect it. One of my former Classics came from a ghetto buy-here-pay-here lot that thought he was selling me an old beater Sentra.

Sorry Paul I haven't researched a rust protection method. I know in the northern states there are places that coat your car. With what I'm not sure. My plan if I ever make it back up there is to get a dedicated car for winter driving.

There is some rubber undercoating you can get at NAPA to spray on the undercarriage in the approporate spots. It comes in a can like spraypaint.

Other than that I always keep the door jams and quarter panels clean and the classics. We don't salt the roads in NW so its much less of a problem.
