Happy New Years kids. Lessons for this New Year: Do not let your girlfriend drive your car or you will need a new clutch. If you are stupid enough to let your girl drive the car, Keith can help you out. Thanks Keith.
People who back into the driver's side suicide door don't leave notes. I'll let you know how insurance feels about it, but so far insurance feels it's worth $2,300. Those door shells are expensive.
Make sure all the fasteners are installed on your undercarriage plastic. That **** will come off during a very heavy rain when the streets are flooding. Get a bunch of fasteners after that. Alternatively, get your front bumper cover repainted and install a bra.
I've had bad car karma lately.
BUT...I did sit in an 09 R3 and loved the seats. I have been cautioned to wait until the 2010 models come out because they will have a 15b. So I'm sticking with my baby for a little bit longer. Aside from the Christmas damage and the under-plastics, I am doing fine.

Whody: I think you managed to get in touch with him. He said someone was bringing an 8 in with cat probs.
The new clutch is nice. I went OEM. Funny thing, after I dropped my car off, Keith calls me up and asks me "what's blue, purple and round?" I'll tell you the answer after you guys guess and I'll continue the story.
I'm waiting to find out when I'm going to put the car in the body shop. With the cold weather coming about, I might wait so I can ride the GS500 instead of renting a car.
Oh well...

spark plug wires > Jesus
I never thought spark plug wires could do so much..
Prob: My catalytic converter was running hot as hell and I was smelling burning exhaust.
Solution: Faulty spark plug wires causing misfires. Unburnt fuel entered exhaust and created strong exhaust smell.
I even had a new noise coming around that sounded like my throwout bearing needed to be replaced again. Now that my cat is running cooler, it doesn't even make a noise?
Amazing.

I doubt any of you remember me... but after a long absence and the fight within my soul about selling my 8 I have come to the conclusion that I'm keeping the car...
but now that I have a truck... I'm going to turbo charge the 8...
plus some paint and a few comedic changes.
