torquillStill not caught up, and I have a lot on my list of stuff to get done. That's okay.
We replaced the clutch master cylinder on Gwen today, and I took her out to pick up a gift for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
firestrike's sister, in honor of her birthday. There still seem to be a few small bubbles in the hydraulic system, which should work themselves out over the next few days; it's otherwise acting fine. I'm concerned about the fact that when I went to work on the car, the battery was dead, but that's a whole different problem. What matters to me is: I can drive my car again!
Speaking of cars, I've been thinking again about my midlife crisis car. I don't have $30K to spend right now, but it's a totally reasonable price for such a toy. No Ferrari for me; I'd rather have a fun little thing to whip around corners and draw curious looks.
Edit: Turns out that the factory-assembled Caterhams aren't available in the US, only kits -- and the kits start at $26K without engine and transmission. Meh. Wonder how much it takes to ship one from the UK...
