the ’73 toyota hilux broke its timing chain about a week ago as i was driving down sacramento. today, i spoke with my mechanic weiss, who informed me that finding a pulley to replace the one that is broken is turning out to be a formidable search. it may be several more days.
now, i live in a great area and don’t really need to drive much. most things i need are right here. monterey market, arguably the best produce market in the east bay (ok, maybe berkeley bowl), is half a block up the street. but, it’s a discomforting feeling to not have a running vehicle, and i need to get to the boate, after all, so i decided to put a new battery in my volkswagen golf that has been sitting in the garage for over 2 years withiout starting.
second turn of the key, VROOM VROOM. i took her out for a little spin, and man, i had forgotten what a sweeeeeet little honey that baby is. fast. everything works tastefully. i filled her up with PREMIUM as a reward. next up: i get the vespa registered and running.
