'03 Subaru WRX
When problems arise, they seem to happen in bunches. A week ago my '03 Subaru WRX refused to crank over when attempting to return home after work. Upon receiving a tow back to my condo by AAA services, I immediately began tearing apart the fuel system and found that the fuel pump pickup/screen deteriorated. Some of those fragments lodged inside the pump and caused it to seize up. After spending a few hours replacing the pump and fuel filter, the car fired up and the problem was fixed!

I finally did it. After months (nearly 12) of wishing for an actual garage to store and work on my cars in, I ditched my LBC digs and driveway for a pad with a two-car garage closer to L.A. The downside is that I still work out of the Orange County office (traffic fail), but the good news is, um ... I got a two-car garage! My level of inspiration to finish my projects hasn't doubled alongside my parking space count, yet, but I'm hoping that will change once I actually clean the damn thing out.
