These drum brakes are making me sad. Not because they're drum brakes, but because last time I worked on drums was about 13 years ago, with my grandpa. We changed them on my '91 Accord. I miss him.

More Binx work!
Out with the old, in with the new!
I just went with a KYB Strut Plus because the previous struts were KYB kits too. If they were OEM I'd have rebuilt them.
New swaybar end links too. That should resolve the clunks up front!

Also finishing the backup camera and stereo install.

Binx progress!
Windows: tinted
Lug studs: broken (but I've already bought replacements)
Backup camera: underway
Parts: arriving!

Got tires mounted and balanced, head unit is ready to install.
Stopped by Pick-N-Pull and got some parts I needed too!

Say hello to Binx, our new daily! He's a 2005 Matrix XR with 235k on the clock. I've ordered a bunch of parts to get him in tip top shape, like a head unit, suspension parts, tires, filters, all that. I know he's good mechanically because I had to drive him 5 hours home from Oregon.

I never knew that! I mean, it makes sense with their history with Creature Comforts.
Those designs and set pieces are absolutely fantastic, shame they didn't end up making it.

Last night was absolutely fantastic.
Got Snepberry cider at @slightlyfurry.bsky.social. Got to meet Steve Gallacci and thumb through his sketchbooks as he told me all about them. He signed a copy of Albedo Anthropomorphics for me. Then went and saw The Faint at the Showbox!
Good vibes all around.

Look at me
I am the bell curve now

The fleet is finally down to 4 for the first time in years so I can actually just post an individual picture of each and fit in the post image limit!

Aww these are cute! I'd be interested! I'd want a beanie on but wearing a tropical button-up shirt, hah

I love a man who can Honda hard.

She's a wee bit bigger than the Beetle was. Time to continue purging the garage so I can make some work space!

First up:
- new battery
- power steering pump rebuild
- high pressure PS hose replacement
- alternator rebuild

That'll get her drivable again. Then onto suspension stuff.

Well, off the Beetle goes. My dad had always wanted to own and enjoy a '67 but never got the chance. I found out that it wasn't my dream either, so it was best to let it move on to a good owner.
Now begins work on my Prelude that I've owned for 12+ years now. It deserves it!

I absolutely love that corner, I took a picture with our 3G TL back on our first anniversary trip over that pass.
October 13, 2025 at 7:16 PM
Well, it's something. Tried my hand at the interior of the Beetle and it's just not something I want to deal with. I'm putting in whatever I can without doing upholstery so I can get it listed.
At least the door cards turned out well!

That's essentially what Mephiskapheles is!

My copy of Bound To Ashes arrived! It's getting slotted in my TBR right after I finish my current book.

@pennybadger.bsky.social and I had a fantastic time at @furvana.bsky.social!
I didn't really get any pics because we had too much fun chatting with and hugging everybody else. But I did get an @alpineshep.bsky.social onto the CRX's fender!

Replaced the bottom bracket on my 20+ year old Giant Iguana. It was finally time after years of jumps and pulling a bike trailer with kids, it got all loose and jiggly (not unlike me).
Next up is to take it on some actual trails and probably upgrade the front fork.

I forgot to say the track day with @projectf.club back in July went well!
The CRX felt the best it ever has with the V730's. My only problem was boiling my caliper's brake fluid in the pits cuz I didn't do enough of a cool down. Oops, time for a rebuild!

Finally got my V730's mounted up in preparation for Saturday's track day!
Snep's first real 200TW tires. After years of Federals and 340TW Conti EC Sports, these should be a welcome change.
