I was too late to get in on the Peak to Peak fun run this year. Just missed the deadline.
I'll look at the calendar for RMR events. Keep your eye out for another old geezer in a red machine. I have to keep it all summer, might as well enjoy it and live on the edge driving in Denver traffic. Probably the same everywhere, NASCAR mentality; must. be. in. front.

I'm still messing with it. Both front and rear engine seals needed replacing. Here it goes to get the engine installed. The question is, sell it now or wait for spring. When I was breaking it in, I almost really broke it, looking right though and making a left in front of a red semi gravel hauler as big as a house, that I did not see, until after the turn when he came within yards of T-boning me.



All brand new


They are removing 6-lanes above ground to replace them with 12 lanes below ground and tunnel under sports fields and an outdoor amphitheater.

I've owned this car 6 years and drove it 7000 miles, 3500 on the new parts which are totally sorted. No leaks, no drips, just solid.

Thinking about it, in six years, technically the car has been 100% driveable for one week. The new owner can worry about the minor cosmetic fixes. You can tell the driver's door edge has 385.000 miles of daily driving on it.

Wash, clay bar, orbital buffer, carnuaba wax, no more swiirls or scratches.



I have not used a buffer. It takes a lot longer than I thought to get it like glass.


Funny how you can stand there and stare at it and get tired so you get a stool to sit there and stare at it.

Nice work on the paint Ken, car looks great!

It's been great. This forum is fantastic, 5-stars for people and content. I could not have done it properly without this forum. I tried to keep it but I'm too dangerous in it. Not a matter of if, a matter of when, to total destruction.

Thank you for your support and guidance.

Good luck, sorry I won’t be bidding.

Thanks. I'm trying to set the gold standard for seller responsiveness. Kind of fun. OCD pays off.

I was just thinking that I kept referring to my condition without explaining anything. The most common question is, why selling? Here it is: a video of my head's total range of motion, which is less than one degree in any direction, bearing in mind that you cannot tell in the video that I am looking down when I am sitting or standing. I can look ahead if I am on my back. Dogs bark, grown ups avert their gaze after a double-take, and small children are scared in my presence, but older children are mesmorized and inquisitive. They ask, what happened? I say, didn't eat my vegetables when I was your age. The back of my head is the top of my height, I have a million of 'em. It's all from a flawed gene pool and rare.

Had to quit dating. If they were 5'2" or less they were always saying my eyes are up here. I'd say, sweetheart, if you want me to look you in the eyes, sit on my lap or get on your knees. If they are over 5'2", they are always saying, my boobs are up here.

The bummer is that the 4-speed Ranchero with a bench seat and a shifter that I can put my entire body weight on, is not dangerously problematic like the Porsche, sitting on the floor at an angle vs sitting on a bench straight up. If I put my entire body weight onthe Porsche shifter it would break. If I wreck the Ranchero no big deal. If I wreck the Porsche, huge deal. Let someone else not wreck it.

I'll miss it for sure, try not to brag about the one that got away and hope someone buys it and drives it, it's ready. As for me, back to R1 being #1 but i can see the end of that one too. It's a straight bee-atch getting old.

Is it smiing or grimacing?

Good one. That five yeasrs flew by. Talk about head in the clouds and complete rejection of reality. What a noob! That was back in the day when I had a whopping 10° movement of the head. All the hot rods are gone and out of mind excpet R1, the one true love.
