Yea this summer flew by, but the most disappointing thing was the NEMA cruise disappeared lol. First part of summer I blew up my transmission so it was out of commission for almost a month, then I was just having issue after issue with the belt system so I took the blower off, then I fixed my rear end, and now finally at the end of the summer the blower is going back on... I put on less than 1000 miles this summer on my car, maybe 650-700 miles which is ridiculously low for me.

Yea, flew by for sure.
Big cruises were all but gone, I've been super busy with work/wedding stuff.
I've decided to sell the car, and move over to the dark side next year. Its been a crazy summer.

I've also been busy lately. I haven't autocrossed the Mustang like I wanted to but I've still got a couple of opportunities left in the fall. At least my suspension has been installed. I've been driving and tending to the Alfa these past couple of weeks as well. With the Alfa on the road I might finally be able to get the 'Stang into a body shop to have that nicked bumper from last year repainted.

Looks like I will be shopping for some winter wheels and tires for my Mustang. I did some work on the Alfa recently (new coolant tank, spark plugs, fuel lines, injectors, fuel filter), and while I was diagnosing a misfire, I couldn't get it to turn over again. The engine had locked up. After a lot of troubleshooting I open the front valve cover and this is what is greeting me.
So now my intended winter ride is parked. I need to get to the rear valve cover and pull the front head to see how bad the damage is. I'd also like to smack whoever worked on this engine last for not putting the cam follower back in after removing it! The Alfa ran like a top before this happened.
And before anyone says, "Well, it's an Alfa, what do you expect?" I've got folks with decades of Italian car experience telling me they've never seen anything like this before!
