See, we just can't leave anything alone. Looks good, I'll bet it's fun. Intake looks REALLY familiar...

Cleaning products and routine maintenance are a lot cheaper than mods.
Just today she commented on the extreme glossiness of my XR.

I actually get out quite a lot but it's almost always for a specific purpose.
Hey... someone's gotta fly the flag around here... and I fly it Loud n Proud.
My lofty goal in life is to be "that Merkur guy". It's a work in progress but I'm definitely making progress.

The '85 DD went through three trannys, a heater that didn't heat and a blower that didn't blow.
Then a bunch of little things just got together and decided they'd had enough... and that was that.
Garage queen is fun. Just drive from one show to another and talk to a bunch of really nice people.
