A 20b would be fun. I'm on the fence about what to do. There's still some value left in it, but there really isn't anything I want. Right now the thinking is run it into the ground. Long term plan is to end up about 6-7 years from now with a paid off car in good shape. Maybe retire the 8 to part-time duty in a couple of years and make it a project car. Who knows.

BTW - the wheat beer came out great! Precious little left though, as I have to send a 12 pack off to a family event at the end of the month. Next up - steam beer - if the weather ever warms up!

I'm right in the middle of the city. And yea Heath is a good 45 minutes away for me, maybe a little less if I went straight out 70.

My car is going into the shop this week to repair the damage from when I decided to hit a small tree. Hopefully by the time I get it back my exhaust will be here.
