OK, since I have to buy the hot rod A-14 back from Gregg, I need to finger out what I'm going to do with it. I guess I could go ahead with the Super Karate-Monkey Death Car race car build and just have it ready to sell to someone. Or I could build Super Karate-Monkey Death Car as a dual porpoise road/track car... and sell it to someone. Hmm, that probably makes the most sense. I know I'd hate that engine in the Spitfire because it would just be a rehash of the experience in The Seven. I think it might be a little more livable in Lil' Wiggly due to (tee hee, I said doo doo) the extra metal surrounding you, but I'm not 100% sure of that. In Super Karate-Monkey Death Car though, since the whole mindset would be that it is primarily a track car, but one that can be driven on the road, the buzz-bomb nature of that engine would be even more tolerable. The one big hurdle with this line of thinking is the fact that I couldn't give two shits about doing track days and therefore a track day car is almost totally useless for me. Oh yeah, hence the “and sell it to someone” up there. Right. OK, I think we might have a plan for the hot rod A-14 and Super Karate-Monkey Death Car. As for the Spitfire and Lil' Wiggly, I think we have a plan there too. I think I want to freshen up one of the L-series engines “we” have and slap it into Lil' Wiggly with a five-speed. Then I'll freshen up the A-14 from Lil' Wiggly and install it in the Spitfire. I'm pretty much convinced Nadine is going to become “John’s problem.” I'm not sure what engine he’s planning on using though. I am sure we’ll be discussing it at length soon. Oh crap, the guilt is rising up again. I'm beginning to reconsider whether or not I should bail on Nadine. I mean, c’mon. Seriously, how tough is it going to be for me to “finish” that project? I just need to make “forward” progress. See, John gets all riled up when I say I'm not making progress on the car. He contends, and is probably right, that disassembly IS progress since it is required for the renovation process. I contend that... “Your face is progress!” No, it just doesn't FEEL like progress. Having said that, I don't want to renege on the offer to sell the car to him. I just don't know what to do. I think what I'm going to do right now though is head downstairs, pee, hang out with Larry until lunch, have lunch, and then... I don't know what. I'll talk to y'all later. And it’s later. I don't have anything to add so I guess I'll just shut up.
