Happy One Year Anniversary, my precious 1!
Just after the first wash, the day after your purchase:
We went through some rough times:
There were good times, too, don't worry!
You made the N54 and N55 cars jealous with your pristine intake ports:
You got some nice-looking new shoes:
Your Cadillac-like ride quality was remedied, and you got much less clumsy:
You got some more power in that ol' ticker of an engine:
You got some fancy new progress-halting hardware:
You ran some fancy-pants Hondas ragged at Summit Point:
Finally, here you are today, one year into this wrenching relationship:
We still have much to do! Your flywheel is making clunks, you need a new belt (easy peasy), your seats just can't handle the new levels of grip, that passenger side headlight needs to be corrected, you'll be needing a new 3rd brake light soon, your brake pads will be toast by the end of the next track weekend, and your front sway bar just doesn't cut it anymore.
Other people may not care that you're either directly next to them, staying in your own lane, or they don't care that the car in front of you is pulling off, making you slow down unexpectedly, consequently leaving you with some cosmetic wounds. I do care, and that's why I have to send you back to Lindsay Collision, just down the street, because they don't care as much as I do for you...
Thanks for an awesome (and mod-intensive) year! I'm looking forward to this next one, beginning tomorrow...
That took forever to write, BTW.
