- In the back of my
head I always knew that maybe, just maybe, had
I taken my car to Delorean they could've fixed it
without replacing the transmission. I never thought
that what lies within this video was a possibility.
You sitting down?

- So there ya go.
Uhm. Every time I watch it I feel the punch.
Now, this is a very Adam story so I accept that once
I jumped, nothing else really mattered. The truth
is? This actually means we have more valuable parts to
sell. Had the transmission been destroyed we wouldn't
have that. So the Zen aspect of this (in the moment)
is we just made some more money.
-
- ...but when
DOCUMENTING something, you're at least AWARE of the
recent past. You know, like the last video a few days
ago where we were laughing because the "transmission
was fucked". So it does take quite a bit of
mindfulness to ignore that and only see the
positive. Thankfully, I just lay it out. This is every
bit bittersweet, every bit a jagged little pill to
swallow. But I know when this is said and done? I
will be thrilled to reminisce that the motivator to do
this was completely wrong and I ended up in a far
better place because of that mistake. The Lemonade
Life. You fall, double down and make that the best
thing you ever did. And after my phone call to Randy
today? It's already lining up.

- So last night
talking with Kenny I finally figured out the
dates and logistics of how everything is going to work
out in regards to me coming back to Columbus. For
FastestDeloreanInTheWorld.com we need to have a 1/4
mile track time and the tracks in Ohio don't open
until March 26th. I'm smart enough to know that Kenny
should be the one driving that car, not me, so we
gotta keep it there until that date even if it's done
earlier. Kenny still believes he can have it running
at the end of February. So the family and I are going
to come out March 16th - March 27th and I may come
back for a weekend by myself next month just to help
work on stuff and be there for the first engine dyno.
So I called up the owner of my old radio station and
started brainstorming. Within 10 minutes we had a ton
of ideas starting with the St. Patrick's Day parade on
3/17 and the press therein. Whew. I had insomnia
in the middle of the night and ended up buying the
tickets (DIRECT FLIGHTS WITH A 3
AND 4 YEAR OLD HOLY SHIT YES)
and it's happening! AHHHH. Cannot wait to watch this
all unfold.

- So, anyone want to
buy a drive train for a 1981 Delorean that has only
20k miles on it? LMAO.
