So, I had a dream...

Call it voodoo hippie bs, but I've found it helpful in the past when I have a dilemma to set an intention for a dream and see what shakes loose while I sleep.

I've been putting a lot of thought towards acquiring something new in the garage. Bouncing between all sorts of stuff, MR2s, RX-4s, FBs, FCs, FDs, Supras, E30s, Scoobies, RWD Celicas/Corollas etc. Serious AADD here, I'm resting on cars for as little as 15 minutes before I'm thinking about something else.

So, when I went to bed last night, I sent an intent to dream about what it is I really want.

In my dream, there were two cars. One was a custom one-off that used some motorcyle parts and the back-half of a C6 Corvette (kinda looked like Hot Rod from Transformers) and the other was a RWD-converted Civic hatch that used a twin-turbo Subaru flat-4 that wouldn't pass smog (that part was a very specific).

...

berkeley you, Brain. Seriously, that weren't cool.

Had a dream I built an igloo out of gubment cheese followed by doing wheelies on my triumph. What kinda message is that?

Did you wake up screaming? Just asking.

Dreaming is cool until the hulks start showing up in the yard.

Hey, at least you have a direction for the build now.

I'm looking forward to seeing the Civic. And the cheese igloo.

I'm going to coin the phrase "...as a cheese igloo" and inject it into the popular vocabulary. That Civic is going to be as mad as a cheese igloo.

Okay, so last night, it was a pristine 510, and a primer-black, de-brightworked Fairlane Ranchero on slicks.

What. The. Hell.

Is there an AADD equivalent to Ritalin?

The Ritalin is building all the cars you dream about

Didn't come to me in a dream, but I've had building an early side-draft carbed honda 4-cyl (EW) - powered rat-rod style TRIKE on the brain constantly lately.

I have solutions to those crazy dreams.....lay off the hot salsa snack right before bedtime.

I've got a late-60's Harley golf cart/service trike frame & rear axle available. Has most of the body & the seats too.

Second. That phrase is as out there as a cheese igloo.

+1, I'm loving "as a cheese igloo".

So, I talked to a friend. His thought was that the common thread of everything coming up was that they were batE36 M3 insane, and my usual MO is for staying fairly reasonable.

So, I'm gonna toss reason out the window, and do what I've been hemming and hawing about: gut the interior out of the foxbody, scrap the convertible top and mechanism, make a removable hardtop for use during the rainy season, and just turn it into the hooligan car that I actually want.

It's not like I need that car to be a nice driver, that's what the Bronco and Mazda5 are for.

So... anyone know of a Cali-smog legal supercharger for a '96 Ford 5.0?

I think your dream was telling you you don't really know what you want yet. Paitence grasshopper. Focus power. Focus like you're looking at a cheese igloo.

My turtle had babies and another stray cat showed up in my dream last night.
