Raine's SC300 (KEIRA 2.0) Timeline From Beginning to End.
After realizing I didn't keep a good record of what I've done to the car for the 6 years I had it, I decided to go through the hard drive and document my SC300 from the start. This is a LOOOONNNGGG thread, so forgive me If it gets a little "wordy" - it's probably because I used to work in the publishing industry as a writer/editor. Feel free to comment if you like
NOTE - My previous car (the S14) was named "Keira" because I'm in love with Keira Knightley (one step short of stalking her. LOL JK), but when I bought the SC I didn't really think about a name. So instead of making it a big deal I decided that I'd just name the SC "Keira 2.0".
Old forum sig. Many of my friends say I'm obsessed. I don't disagree.
Alrightythen… let's rewind the clock back to 2006, and the beginning. First up is my excel spreadsheet screenshot. I didn't realize how much I've spent
but it all goes with being a car guy. It's part of the life, it's part of the game - especially when you start with a 11-year old car like I did when I bought her in 2006. Here's a screenshot covering 2006-2011.
That list is a lot longer than I thought it would be! I went through all my receipts, eBay history, Amazon invoices, and other sources to compile the list as complete as possible. Then I went through hundreds of photos of my car dating back to 2006, some on my desktop, some on my laptop, and some archived on my network storage. It was a learning experience in a sense, and also an enlightening one.
Anyhow, with that out of the way, let's get to the timeline, listed from oldest to last. I'm also going to just add info and notes on the more significant stuff, leaving out the boring "oil changes" and "tire flipping" and other we-don't-need-to-elaborate and self-explanitory items on my list.
Here we go!
