Where I went.

Because I loved all of y'all. I disappeared and I'm sorry. Lots happened from a totaled Mazda. Then my leaving my ex. And now remarried. Now driving a 2019 cruze 1.4t. 

Awesome (some of it, anyway )

Welcome back!

Adventures suck at times. Glad to see yours is working out. Welcome back.

Pete

Well, howdy back!  Good to see you.

Thankyou all. 

Hope to stick around a bit. It's been a crazy few years but things are looking up

welcome back! you were missed

Nice to see you back around

I was wondering what happened to you. Glad to see you back. 

Hi there!

i was just asking about you recently. 

In reply to KATYB :

Grab a chair

and sit down, we got some catching up to do.

I came across your GM 1.4L turbo thread and thought to myself, "I haven't seen that name in a long time." 

Welcome back. 

I am here. And Starz my whereabouts the last three years feel free to ask. Long story short though I ended up completely starting life over and so here I am. Poor than ever. Nowhere to work on cars. I hate Apartments because can't work on cars. And honestly could not give a damn life is better than it's ever been before

Glad to see you're back!

Welcome back!!

Glad to see you back. 

Welcome back.

Welcome back! Working on cars while living in an apartment is difficult but not impossible. I once rebuilt a Ford 8.8" rear axle on the porch of my apartment. The hard part is parking the car in such a way that other don't notice it is taken apart and report you to the leasing office.

Welcome back. A life factory reset is good sometimes. Best done early before the data gets really corrupted. 

Working on cars in an apartment sucks, when I was younger and trying to make that work I had the advantage of other local enthusiasts letting me use their shops/driveways/garages from time to time.

Condolences, and then Congrats! welcome back!  Maybe there are some other GRMers in your area willing to loan short term driveway space...

Welcome back!

And I agree with apartment wrenching. I replaced the trunk floor of a Dodge Demon in an apartment parking lot. Cylinder heads and intake on a F100 as well as finished up a 6" lift kit on a F150. Of course, it does depend some on what kind of lot you have to work with.  

Apartment wrenching is the worst. I gave up on apartment wrenching when, halfway through a brake job, I was told I needed to move the car RIGHT NOW or (a) get a $200 ticket, or (b) get towed. Not having $200, and not wanting to get towed which would have ended up costing more than $200, I moved the car halfway through the change which resulted in my blowing out the cylinders on the drums... And then I didn't have any place to work on it, and couldn't drive it since I effectively took out my brakes. 

I ended up having AAA tow it to a local shop that was enthusiast owned; he was sympathetic and did the job cheap. 

As the saying goes.   When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. 

 Appears you did just that.

Actually, when life gives you lemons, you paint that E36 M3 gold.
