Pretty good. It'll take a week or two for it to bubble completely so I can take it back in for a tune up.

Nah, I didn't get to pick it up until about 4:30 (lotsa traffic). Tomorrow and this weekend though...

ahh.... I really love those two cars... so the C-Turbo is staying outside? hahaha! poor car?
Lighting is on my list (wanna get rid of the florescents I put in). Yep, the CT is the odd man out (literally) until the lift comes and then it goes where the CS is.

You probably have a hard time sleeping with those cars in your garage.....
It shouldn't be long before they start popping up all over the place given I was video taped twice on just the 15 mile drive home from the clear bra place! That could be a BAD thing the way I drive

I've have been given official notice that if I get one more crazy car, that is in fact where I will be sleeping

Ben , you must be up on Mt Soledad. Just spend an extra 10 mil and move " down the hill " to the flats of Old LJ and all your problems are solved !

Yeah, but we'd lose the day and night panoramic ocean (we're only 400 yds away by laser site), Village, North Shore, LJ Shores, and moutain views! We're up just high enough to see it all, but not too high so as to be too far away by foot which is also great exercise walking up and down the moutain. It's nice too being away from noisy Torrey and having a safety valve up and around Hillside to get to the 5 to avoid Torrey traffic. Not only that, it stinks sometimes near the water, and is no fun having surfers parking out in front of your house getting stoned . The fireworks on the 4th at both LJ CC and George's are also fun to watch without having to mess with the crowds. We went to open houses all the time for ideas while we were designing the house and never found any locations we'd prefer to the one we have. We'll just "slum" it up here

Ben if you find the car too difficult to get in and out of the garage, I have plenty of space in mine right now. Just a 6,000 mile roundtrip -- ya gotta put some miles on that thing after all!

I only wish you were selling your garage and that I had a place to put it

I've been wanting to move to LJ for over 20 years, but my wife , who went to school there , is too tied to the Bay Area by birth and huge extended family. But we do spend several weeks down there each year with friends or at the the Del. Maybe we'll hook up next trip when my girls are driving me crazy with their typical vacation time cat fighting.

Now that's my kind of garage . . . CS, C-Turbo, CGT! It must be quite the dilemma deciding which one to drive each day. Have an excellent (and ticket free) weekend.
