Another day. It started off earlier than expected, 7am. Woke up for no reason, even though I didn't get to sleep until like 3am. Fell back asleep around 8, then woke back up to the alarm at 9:30. Walked some car parts to the post office to be shipped, then met Amanda at the bank to cash some checks. I'm so tired of walking, that I put my rent check in an envelope, put a stamp on it, and put that mutha in the mailbox. The place to pay the rent is a 5 minute drive, and rent's due on the 5th. Planned on going to Bi-Lo today, but riding the Cat bus is a giant pain in the ass. They never show up on time, and drive right past you. I always wish I had a great big rock to throw whenever the 500 pound driver decided to ignore me. So I called 1-800-contacts, and ordered my $90 3 pairs of contacts I won't get for 5 WEEKS. That's right, 5 weeks. And that's with making the lady feel bad and throwing in free 2-3 day Fed-Ex shipping. At least I'll be beautiful again, but not for another month. So then I changed clothes to go outside and start taking the Neon apart. Just didn't feel up to it, so I took pictures of things to sell. Only productive thing done today was making a For Sale post on www.neons.org/forums. Trying to pay for my cams and valvetrain by selling superfluous parts off the crappy neon. I'm going to try and strip it down to just the rolling chassis and sell it that way. The rest of the day was spent worthlessly browsing the "internet". Watched some tv, paced around my apartment. I've seen maybe 3 people in the last 5 days, never for very long, except Jessica yesterday. Being here by myself all the time is driving me out of my mind.

I'm swapping in my RT seats, as well as my motor/tranny. The car is in 1000 pieces right now, so it's going to be a lot of work. Other than the cheap pricetag, I bought this to keep my mind off of other things going on in my life. I really enjoy working on cars, and some happiness will be a breath of fresh air. This will be a real

SCCA/SOLO 2

car. With just some Koni's, some race tires, and a limited slip, it'll have a full suspension and run high 13's in the 1/4 mile. Pretty impressive for a naturally aspirated motor. It should be putting about 180 hp to the ground, weighing about 2300 with me in it. The cage will take some getting used to, seeing as the car will be a daily driver. I'm really looking forward to getting it running and on the road.
Here's a link to a video of the car in action. Yes, I drive my Neon like that (well, maybe better...) during sanctioned events.
If you're viewing this at work, turn the sound down, as the camaraman has a potty mouth. Watch it again at home, because the car sounds mean as hell.

Holy crap that's a Neon
