Ah, not much; just been really busy lately with life. ;(
At least I'm happy my car's doing well, I guess the guy I sold it to did a little work to it, but he finally told me why the car's MPG was so dismal (even though it did finish with a peak MPG of 18-19.5 MPG city); there was a high-flow fuel pump installed! No wonder it always smelled so awful.  Other than the fact that the radiator broke and needed to be replaced the day after he bought it, he's done some work to it, but it's in storage right now with a friend of his since he's stationed over in Kansas after his tour from Iraq. He's really happy with the car, and I'm glad I sold it to someone that can take good care of it. 
I've got a 94 Grand Am with the 3.1L V-6 in it right now that I use, it's actually been a great car for what I need it for, so no complaints here. I've actually changed a few things in the car, so acceleration and mileage is actually pretty good now, as I'm getting consistent 22-23 MPG city (no freeway driving whatsoever), and I'm always looking to find ways to make it run better and more efficient, not to mention having some fun with driving it as well. 
Our garage has seen a couple of changes too; we've added an 04 Infiniti FX35 and an 05 Eclipse Spyder, and the 88 Jaguar XJ-S and 82 Corvette (glasstop) have found new homes.
I'm currently pondering getting a new car; I think I've been bitten by the 4WD bug. At first I considered the STi, but the 06s just didn't click with me. I then considered an Evo X, but it looks disturbingly much like the SRT-4 from some angles, and that turned me off. I'm waiting for a year or two to see what's out there, but I have a strong feeling of what I like, and if it doesn't disappoint, I'll definitely have enough money to buy it! 
It's nice to finally have some selection out there, and actually have the money to buy something I like instead of having to settle for what's out there. |

Cool glad to hear things are going ok for you. I thought you had your car up for sale last time we had heard from you but wasn't sure so I didn't ask. I think she was my cars twin.
Don't be a stranger.
