It’s hard to believe it’s been 2 months since my last update. I’m not very good at keeping up with this stuff…

So… they totaled the bug, so I bought it back. I’m thinking that was probably a mistake. Just looking at it I feel overwhelmed and depressed.

I bought a 1989 BMW 325i Convertible as my daily driver. It’s in pretty good shape. I’ve fixed a few little things on it so far and it’s performing its task well. The weather for the past couple of weeks has been perfect for driving with the top down.

I’m also working on fixing up the truck. Ken and I redid the ignition system this weekend. He showed me how to take apart the distributor and we put in the points elimination kit. We also installed a new ignition coil, and he showed me how to correct the engine timing. Today I replaced the distributor cap, plugs, and wires, and washed and waxed it. From what I could tell, the ignition coil was ancient, and the timing was a little off. Once we adjusted that, the engine sounded a whole lot better and the little bit I did drive it around the neighborhood seemed to have more power than before. I will drive it more tomorrow after work and see how it does. I’m crossing my fingers…!

Anyway, back to work in the morning… no more fun for me.
