'Got motivated today. I've been having a muuuuuch easier time of it with this batch of chemo and have been getting caught up on lots of things that had languished around the house. The Christmas decorations needed getting to so that meant a serious batch of garage cleanup... lo and behold, there was a bimmer hiding in there!
With everything cleaned up and put away, I jump-started the car and she came right up to idle as if no time had passed at all. Wanting/Needing a victory drive, I figured I would just run around for a bit and charge up the battery again... her tags are long expired so it had to be on the down low.
Out on the road again the old tires took a bit to warm up and the rear subframe bushings reminded me of why I have that pile of parts waiting to be put together. Other drivers seemed to slow and look at the ol' gal. It seemed to be the day for old German hardware as I saw a handful of other old BMW's and Porsches out being enjoyed.
I was reminded of why I bought the car. I need to stay motivated through these next few months while I'm off the chemo and get her finished and tagged finally!
