Welcome to Tarmac & Gravel

After attending the Prescott Rally in 2005, I knew I had to build a rally car. Being a dedicated DSMer, I knew I had to build a Mitsubishi. I bought 1991 Galant VR4 195/2000. But then I thought, these cars are far too rare and way too sweet for me to build one up just to stuff it in a ditch somewhere near the border, so at the Prescott Rally in 2008, I lucked out and found 1992 Galant VR4 464/1000.

This site is dedicated to [464] Tarmac & [195] Gravel. One to stay clean. One to press on regardless.

This weekend, I finally got tired of tripping over shit in my garage.  I hadn’t planned on actually living up to my agreement with Vanessa about making room for her Amigo in there next to 195, but it ended up being the case.  The garage organization details are over on the other site, however, as this site is all about the Galants.  A clean garage is a place in which you enjoy spending time and what better way to spend time in your garage than tinkering on your Galant VR4?

Cleaning Out the Garage (aka: The Fort)

This past Friday night was my last night at Home Depot. With my newfound freedom, I decided one of the most rewarding things I could be doing this weekend was to get back to the fort and clean up the relentless mess leftover from the use of “serious tools” on 195 just a few months back.

Pictures speak for themselves, wouldn’t you say?  Read the rest of this entry »
