Nothing to do with the seasons either.

About ten minutes after I took that photo yesterday I discovered that both the front springs had decided they didn’t want to participate in being a part of my car anymore and were attempting to flee by backing out of the lower strut perches. Not my favorite discovery 120 miles from home when I planned on autocrossing. Needless to say I did not run but I did get home fine and the car is in the shop now. Many thanks to all the SSCC folks for their concern, their help, and even their offers to co-drive numerous cars.

I did discover the ambiance of super rural Arizona. Look up Douglas on a map and you’ll see about where this site was; Bisbee Douglas International Airport to be exact. I needed gas and had to drive about 7 miles from the site to the end of 191 (and the United States for that matter) to find something other than ‘Bob’s Gas’. An interesting experience to say the least.
