Cruise Night Fever

I know you're probably getting sick of seeing more of my car at car shows, but it's by far the best place to get good car pics. Old Blue's looking pretty good. Not much has been changed; really anything that I can think of. She's got just over 93,350 miles on the clock to date, and got her oil changed a while ago (did I already say the?). She's going in for some service pretty soon, though. Time for a new timing belt. This one is getting close to both 6 years and 60,000 miles, so I'd better replace it. I'd do it myself, but it's a real pain in the butt--you practically have to take the engine apart to get to the damn thing. I saw a really nice supercharger for the 2.2 liter carbureted engines like mine on eBay, but it was wwwaaayyyy too expensive. I think the guy wanted $750 for it. It was really nice; it included the intake manifold, new valved cover, everything but the carburetor. Still, that was just too much money. Somebody else bought it up really quick, though. I think it was only listed for a few hours (buy-it-now). Well, I'll try to one later. That would have been so nice though...
