She's Sold!

A nice young guy now owns my RX7. He and his dad checked the car over (I mean Really checked it over), took it for a drive and said yes, but ....

The dad noticed that the tires had some dry rot. He checked the date and even though I just bought the tires a few months ago, they were dated 5/2004, and were old. Apparently I'm a dumb broad and didn't realize that the tire place gave me old tires. Because of it I let the young guy talk me down a hundred bucks. Not bad. But now...

Favorite Vintage Video Arcade Game

Vintage being the key word, implies that to answer this question you had to have blown a substantial amount of quarters (or tokens) on video arcade games in the early 80's.

I believe I mentioned in previous blog posts that back in the early 80's my older brother worked for Putt-Putt. This Putt-Putt had a huge room of arcade games and every evening he would empty each one and restock the "token" machine (it took your money and gave you special tokens to play the games...

I love food. Everything from the delicate to the robust. So I am very fortunate that my daughter's boyfriend loves to cook.

last Saturday, we were treated to a French style 11 course dinner, served with the slightly shaky hands of a chef trying a couple untested recipes. We ate outside under the stars.
The menu went as follows:

Gruyére Cheese Gougéres
Linguine with Clams
Salad of Haricots Verts and Tomato Tartare
Parisian Gnocchi...

It's been ten years since my last eye test. My husband decided after watching me hold small print at arms length (embarrassing at a restaurant) that it was time to go again. Today I'm wearing my new glasses with no-line Bi-Focals. I feel so old. I can't see anything. That's not exactly true, I can see ... but if it's not directly in the center of the lens, it's blurry as hell! Assuming, of course, that hell is blurry.

I love my RX7 - I've posted about it many times.

.... However ....

An opportunity to get a 1983 Porsche 944 has come up - at a good price - and I wanted everyone's opinion.
I do know that they need regular maintenance (new timing belt and water pump at about every 45,000 miles) and they basically need a new clutch at about each 55,000. This is all well and good, but each item is very expensive, for example the clutch could reach $1500 - $2000 alone. The...
