Picked up the new car about 30 minutes ago.

I like it. It's ugly as sin, but I like it. Still would've preferred an Accord but wife wanted a Civic. Does have a bit more room than the old Subaru. Put the kid's car seat behind the driver's seat and he fit. Had to have him behind passenger seat in the Subaru if I was driving, and his feet still needed to be turned to the sides. Now he's got room to kick the seat.

Now gotta shop for new wheels. Gonna put some feelers out for OEM takeoffs before buying aftermarket.

Steel wheels with hubcaps. Can see the rusty steelies through the hubcaps.

Just looks like crap.

Tomorrow the car's going up on jackstands, pulling 4 wheels, and sanding/painting the rusty steel wheels so at least it looks halfway decent until I can get some proper wheels on the car.

I hate steelies/hubcaps with a passion. Even the ugliest cast wheels look a million times better than any hubcap.

So... my boat has a few cracks in the fiberglass on the transom where the engine mounts, and a few along the seams of the deck. Brought it to the manufacturer, who is extremely good about fixing any issues and he's taking care of everything for me. He's going to put in an aluminum brace where the engine mounts so it doesn't happen again.

While he's at it... I'm having a new, black, powder-coated T-top put on to replace the flimsy aluminum one that came on it. He's selling me the T-top at his cost, and a small fee to remove the old one and mount the new. $1,000.
