We got front-ended?

Yup. Front ended.

Stopped at a stoplight behind a pickup, notice pickup's reverse lights come on, honk horn, crunch.

Wonderfully, this brilliant driver then pulls off the road, but without room for our car...we pull into a parkinglot about 50' away. As soon as we got out of the car, the pickup takes off. Now we're in a parking lot, with a front bumper with minor but noticeable damage, due to a hit and run.

We'll know more after taking the car to the body shop....

On the plus side, it's a great excuse to take the R1 out for some regular driving next week while the 8's in the shop...

Starting somewhere

I'm planning to use this primarily for documenting the engine rebuild that has been in planning stages for the last few years on my 93 RX-7. Likely the next few months will primarily deal with getting our house sold, finding a new house, moving, etc. I don't plan to start any major work on the rebuild until after we're moved, as I don't want to try to move a car without engine from garage to garage.


The car that the work will be done on:
