Sorry, kind of stream of consciousness. I'm in a good place financially, but in a weird place mentally.

Does one of them happen to be a transmission mount.....

Nope. It's a sliding arm rest, and an ultamaroon rear spoiler kit, a new wing window, and a backup light switch. I think that's it. I'd have to look in my parts bin. I gave away a ton of parts.

Ah, yes, parts closet talk. My AX buddy and I were just talking about all the stuff in our parts closet(s). Outside of all the stock parts I'm holding on to, I've got a header, sti diff bushings, verus clutch fork, perrin rear sway bar, sti subframe bolts and collars I may or may not install, and probably some other things I can't remember right now lol. Including the stock parts I've taken off the car basically triples all that lol. Of course it's all hidden in the basement closet where my wife won't find it.

I'm already collecting parts for the LYRIQ. I have two puddle lights for the back doors (I installed the front but not the back), and a set of aluminum pedal covers to replace the rubber ones that are already showing wear after just 22K miles.

I also have OEM radios for several cars, the 6 CD changer from our 2004 Suburban, the original non-nav radio from my 2013 FR-S, the Shaker 500 radio from MomHawk's 2005 Mustang, and the CD/tape radio from a 2003 Honda Accord.

I had my annual physical today. Man getting old sucks. Now I get all the senior question. No, I haven't fallen in the last year.

I have a set of hubs, wheels, tires and brakes for a Zenith 601HDS kitplane I was building at one point. The rest of the kit ended up being sold but I forgot to include those. By the time I realized I still had them the buyer had replaced them.

Idaho is a two plate state. They passed a law that if your car doesn't have a front mount for a plate, you don't have to have a front plate. So now the Lotus is legal without one, and I don't have a plate mount on the twin, I have a tow hook front plate mount. That sucker is coming off!
