I'm not dead

[3cyltrbo]

Not that anyone missed me (I know I'm not special) but some have noticed that I haven't been really active on the board lately (to say the least)

Lots of stuff in 2014 (mostly bad / some good)

Some of you guys might be interested to know whats been going on (vehicle related).

These went in



This got further tinkered with



and I bought one of my dream cars. a 1998 Acura Integra Type R with 21,XXX miles (1 owner / never seen rain)










I've also been going full bore with my mini-bike obsession



and we decided to build our "dream home" including a 1100 sq-ft garage to house my toys.









Civic Si sedan / Teg Type R / Mr2 Spyder / mini-bikes......... ... all have been distracting me a lot from the Yaris (the Yaris has the lowest mileage of all of my cars)

And btw, the Yaris is still the only one I wouldn't let go of

there you have it

Regards

I saw nothing bad in this post... the worse thing I saw was that there was not a turbo on the yaris...

I think the Yaris is my favorite because I've done soo much to it all myself and its just so fun to drive and totally un-pretentious.

What I didn't mention was my dad passing away in June at 86yrs old after having been on dialysis 3 times a week for the last 8 years, and suffering from diabetes / alzheimers / a bad heart / a non-active brain tumor / permanent catheter and being wheel chair bound.

Also, things at work have been horrible and my health has suffered through it all.

Thats some of the bad stuff.

But, I'm alive / my fiance loves and supports me, and life could be alot worse (I have a roof over my head / food / people that love and support me and some hobbies that I'm passionate about and I get to have fun with)

Welcome back. The new home looks like it will be really nice. That garage, I'm sure will be your "Yarisworld Man Cave." The other cars will need to stay outside LOL!. Nice mods also..

Wow with all those toys you could probably just give me your SSR's

Don't let the bad stuff get you down, you have a lot to be thankful for. :)

Funny thing is, the Yaris (the least “expensive” or least “valuable”) car actually gets first billing. At one point at my old house the only reason I kept it outside (instead of in the garage) was because the Type R is highly stolen and I pretty much had to put the R in the garage (which bumped the Yaris  )

The SSR’s that are on the Yaris? (SSR Competitions) or the the SSR’s that are for sale (SSR Type C’s)

I searched for the R for months and months, finally picked it up in the American Midwest last May / had to drive 800 miles (1 way) to go and get it and then another 800 miles to bring it back.

I looked at 4 in person and considered probably 11 different ones before settling on this one.
