alright car first:

i finally got that itr rear bar on and it feels wonderful.  the car is amazingly neutral and now goes wherever i point it.  it is most definitely taking some getting used to.   i cant wait to track it

the carbon fiber hood is long gone  and in its place is another red hood with crappy paint, however i did score a fresh d16z6 tranny and a nice clutch and flywheel through the deal, thank you kenan.  as soon as i get the brakes taken care of i can get an alignment and as soon as i get an alignment i can get fresh tires.... but all of this requires money, so.... baby steps.

now things with nikki:

she costs a lot of money too, more so than my car but she is a much higher priority so it is almost proportionate but the car is how i go to see her, thus justifying any imbalanced spending.  anyway things are going great  as we continue to plan for the wedding.  out of all the things in the world, i feel like my relationship with nikki is one of the facets of my life that is the most solid and firmly rooted.

i do worry about us sometimes just because of the way we fight.  i wont indulge details but we do fight.  but i think its healthy and its better we learn how to deal with disagreements now then later.  by a fight i mean that its a disagreement in which neither side decides to immediately submit.  we dont get 10 decibels over normal talking volume... anymore

either way i love her and i cant wait to see her on tuesday.  i also cant wait until i dont have to wait to see her....
