From my email: WTB – 1993 Yellow/White Feature Car with 5 speed manual
For those of you who attended Carlisle 2007, you may remember Jeff G. and his friends who brought 5 cars (2 ’90 7-up’s, one ’93 triple white, one ’93 Yellow and one ’92 Red) to that event. If you talked with them you know that they consider these cars...
Back from sunny FLA (with a picture you probably wouldn’t expect to see here)
Yesterday, I got back from an 8 day trip to Florida. It was a nice winter break. I was in the Orlando area. Over a week ago when I left it was around 0 degrees here. The temperature gauge in my fathers car showed -5 at one point on...
ebay Auction Tracking: The Next Step
It’s been a while since I last wrote about ebay Auction Tracking. Probably, that’s because nothing has happened in that space. It just works. My goal has always been adding value to what you can do yourself with searches on ebay. That value would be that my list directly...
My TWF is now away for the winter (and, most importantly, still in one piece)
It’s been a busy month. I finally got my car put away. I had a bunch of projects that competed with that. I had several projects that required access to the attic. One was adding some more insulation and another was reconnecting bathroom fans to their vents after my...
On ebay: Monster Garage Switch Blade Mustang
I regularly search ebay for green 1990 Mustangs for my ebay auction tracking. Today I spotted the “Switch Blade” Mustang built on Monster Garage by Jesse James. It was from the first episode of that show. I really liked that show when it first came on and I was...
1990 7-up NADA Value
I was looking at ebay auctions and saw a 1990 7-up listed and the description included a link to NADA pricing. So I followed the link and it was NADA pricing specific for the 7-up convertible. Hmmm. This was the first I had seen any pricing site/guide break out...
Unfinished business (VIN and VCL decoders)
Now that my period of intensive marathon training is over I have some time to return to other goals. One goal from earlier this year was to make a mobile-friendly version of my Vehicle Certification Label (door tag) decoder. The argument for such an application was that if you...
Running 26.2
My marathon was today. I finished! All 26.2 miles. Being my first marathon, finishing was my main goal. My secondary goal was to finish in under 4 hours 30 minutes. This was a softer goal but given the pace at which I had been running my longer runs that...
Running green
So, by definition, running is green, right? Well, not when you always drive to the place where you run. Add to that the fact that the extra distance I drive effectively doubles my daily commute. Not green. My problem has been that the usual routes from my house to...
Running gear
Training for my first marathon continues. So far, so good. I did 21 miles last Saturday and am now in the final “taper” period where mileage decreases for the next three weeks before the big event. Now with a 20+ mile run under by belt I feel that I...
