Recently I have been driving my girlfriends car as mine has been out of commission. Luckily, we can survive as a one car family since she works across the street.
As of yesterday, I started driving the Aspire again. It sat for 2 months with a brake issue that I didn't have time (or a garage) to fix for the last little while.
I love getting back in the old girl because she just WANTS to run. It started right up and settled into a very nice idle. My left leg remembered how to use the clutch perfectly, and the gears were right where I remember them. It smelled like my car, it looked like my car, it sounded like my car. I was home again.
(all that being said, I cannot wait to get the MA-70 done!)

Sounds good.. but what's an MA 70?
I love how we go by chassis codes
it sounds infinitely cooler than MkIII
I wouldn't want to confuse it with a V-dub.

this means: Smells like burning oil and transmission fluid, looks like it belongs in the junkyard, and sounds like an uncorked bottle of bumblebees. Apparently, home, to me, is that old abandoned store at the edge of town with the boarded up windows...
when I hear MA-70, in my mind I think of something like this:
but a supra is easily as cool
I think I need to mount one of those on my Supra...
then it would be double cool.

In a perfect world That would be the roof of my truck.
In a perfect world there would be a small number of zombies to cull to keep them under control. each of us would be issued a "zombie hunting license" and ordered to take a set number of zombies per year... just so you could use that on the roof of your truck
How do all threads eventually go from something about cars to something about heavy artillery and zombie killings.
(I just finished reading World War Z, and I am in the middle of Zombie Survival Guide. Max Brooks rocks!)
Thats the kinda thing that every once in a while, id want to walk up to, charge, and say out loud "It's clobberin' time!"
Aspires are fun, because you can drive the wheels off them without being antisocial one little bit. I worked for a Ford dealership for a short period, and I always took the Aspire SE (teal with a roof spoiler!) as a parts runner because it was so much more fun than anything else.
Aspire? Don't you mean Assfire?
I am glad I am not the only one that thinks they are fun. I took mine autocrossing (I was in G Prepared due to the lack of a rear window, and that I removed the rear seats for better parts hauling ability.) and I ran well beyond 3 seconds behind anyone else, but I must say that I more than likely had the most fun.
I actually got the rear to break loose, and I caught it, and I am sure I lifted the inside right rear a few times.

I had a 95 Golf Turbo Diesel and it was the same. Everyday is a race when you only have 72 Hp!
