Off Season Projects

Well it's the off season. Anyone have any projects going on? Car, art, home, or even work?

I bought a 1990 Miata last summer with the goal of getting 300hp to the ground. In a 2100lbs car it may be more than I need. The motor is surprisingly stronger than I thought it would be so I'm starting with the suspension after I replace the top. Finding a hardtop for it has been tough because the aftermarket ones haven't been great and the oem is expensive thanks to Spec Miata requiring them to race.

May remove rails from the deck and add a lower level with a pergola. I would love to add those cool modern sheds in the back and build a deck onto it and it be a man cave/spare bedroom /office. Grill and fire pit there as well. Ahh so little time and so little extra money.

Just put a "border" on the mirror in the master bath last night for the wife, looks really good.

 

Next is car and boat shopping.

 

Then adding a stamped concrete pad to the back yard for a new smoker, fire pit, and all my grills.

 

That should get me to warmer weather.

300hp in a Miata will be fun, but probably a little overkill.  beef up the suspension and that would be all the fun i'd need, if I still fit in Miata's.  haven't since I was about 14 lol

 

 

 

i'll be getting my car ready to sell in the spring so that I can buy a truck or SUV with 4wd.  my Honda fit was the family (me, wife and two dogs) car until my wife's acura rsx decided to commit suicide and roll down our driveway... so she bought a Subaru outback and now i'm getting something cheap to have a little fun with.  looking for an older truck, but currently leaning toward the old land rovers/range rovers/land cruisers

I live on an acreage...so football season is my offseason of real work!!!  Always something to do on the acreage...and I fricken love it.  Cutting the lawn...cutting down  trees...bought a new wood chipper last fall so I'm going to have all sorts of fun killing poo when the snow is gone.

 

other than that...few minor projects on the Challenger so that she's all ready to eat jap scrap like Miatas come spring time!

Now Hawk...remember what did the judge told you about the ol' "Hookers in the Woodchipper" game. 

 

Pretty sure it was "stop".

I'm pretty sure his words were...."I don't want to see you do this ever again"

 

hence the silencer and the infrared lights.

If I knew anything about fixing up old vehicles I'd love to find an old Scout to work on.post-332-142446710821_thumb.jpg

      BREAKING!!! Panthers signing Packers LT Rasheed Walker

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      It’ll be interesting to see how the board falls I completely agree with you on TE for us The safety from Oregon would be the cherry on top for Evero’s defense/scheme.  If a OL’men is there that you love it would be very hard to pass up. This fan base seems to just see Walker as a stop gap but I wouldn’t be so sure. He’s the same age as Ekwonu. He’s had a much more impressive career arc/progression than Icky has. He’s the better pass protector. As far as I see it if Walker has a good year I’d bring him back over Icky. Ekwonu isn’t some elite franchise LT. Playing next to Lewis is going to be great for Walker much like it has been for Icky. We definitely need to get younger/cheaper on the OL though so for this reason alone it’s still top of my list come round 1 if board falls this way  Could also use another corner with Mike Jackson’s deal up after this season and needing a nickel but Corey Thornton looked really good in that role in the limited time we got to see him. However he’s coming off an achillies injury and you never know with those.  Then as mentioned above we do still have a need at WR. As far as “weapons” go it’s kind of a 2 man show with Tmac and Coker and neither is a burner. If Jordan Tyson is there at 19 and we can have a young WR group locked up for cheap that’s a huge advantage cap wise  And don’t forget linebacker. That clip in Devin’s Lloyd blueprint they used from Evero saying they need more intelligence there could’ve been left out for Wallace’s sake but it’s true. Wallace is lost in coverage. Pair a smart linebacker with Lloyd and that’s a group with Wallace and Cherelus being depth

      The fact that this is even a discussion is a testament of the level of front office badassery that's going on.

      Not always. LT was for the Giants. So was Ray Lewis. Von Miller was moreso than Manning his final year in the season that shall not be named. It's usually the QB, but not always.
