Temporary Solution
Rigging up a temporary solution for the blog…..at least until we run out of bandwidth. I have my best people working on it….unfortunately, my “people” is out fishing on a boat somewhere in Eastern Washington…….stay tuned.
Hostway has done something to screw up the picture links, so I will probably be down a couple days while I figure this out…..bear with me.

St Louis Trip
This last weekend Jim, Jessi, Val and I headed to St Louis with the M3 and the S2 Cab to meet up with some good friends we have living there, and see the city! Friday evening we headed for St Louis, met some other friends for supper in Columbia, MO, then high tailed it to St Louis down the I-70 speedway 🙂 Saturday morning, we got up and headed to the Arch! That is one big arch! From the top …

Squeak’s Cousin?
Val and I took the week off to head out to Cheyenne, WY to help my parents with their retirement home. Since we are out here, my brother in law brought it up to my attention that their jeep needed a sway bar bushing in the rear.

A Short Break: KC Auto Show
Every year auto dealers and manufacturers present their shiny new wares to the public at the Kansas City Auto Show. We headed down again this year to see what was new! I still cringe to think of the number of people, kids, etc that climb through these cars, many with no respect for the car, lol. Feel bad for the people buying these examples! Most of the cars there were…well….appliances IMHO. There are a lot of cool technology packages and …

Mazda’s version of the 924/944
Was the RX-7 utilizing a rotary engine. The cars are actually quite fun to drive and were pretty popular. A freind of mine brought over his son’s TX-7 Turbo II (now don’t get excited, that doesn’t mean twin turbos) so we could put in a new brake master cylinder. It had started to puke fluid everywhere, so a replacement was needed. Oreilly’s was able to order us the part, and it was definitely not “porsche pricing.” A little wet and …
