cheer up..

Whether I'm cruising the highways or hauling ass on the streets, driving my car after a fresh wash is when I'm the happiest. I'm missing alot in my life but I'm not sure how to get what/where I want.

AutoX coming up on Sunday.. I'll be there once again to let off some steam.

Hi, Billy Mays here!

Plenty of people can't stand the guy but that only means that his infomercials were effective. I mean, everyone knew him as the guy that yells at you to buy OxiClean lol

I'm starting to get curious as to who's reading my blog. It's not like I post up twitter-like updates and most of these things are just random ramblings but it's probably entertaining to some people. Or even better, some old acquaintance may be following this and talking shit behind my back about how lame my life seems to be. I'm thinking it's probably a mix of both.

Anyway.. I have some spare cash that's burning a hole in my pocket. A fresh set of CTR headlamps or a Greddy SE catback. Ah yes.. decisions, decisions, decisions.

meow meow meow

Don't mind the work parking lot car show lol

Thinking about picking up a new catback to replace the massive cannon I have now. Nothing is wrong with what I have but with me running a full oem lip kit, that EVO2 looks bigger than it did before. The faux mugen lip really balanced things out. I have a tendency to try to make the entire car work together, not just a few pieces. We'll see, maybe in a week or so.

I've also been toying with the winter car idea for some time now but now I'm tempted about picking up a VSM EJ8 as a replacement to my current car. Definitely would be 5spd bone stock and then swap over my parts to that one. It's that or the 5spd conversion (finally) but there's the question about who would do the work. I possibly could depending on time.. but that's all just random thoughts for the time being.

2nd AutoX is coming up on Sunday. I usually make a push to find some party for the 4th but I've exhausted myself every year only to end up at home doing jack shit so I think I'll just stay home somewhat sober and make it out early Sunday to be a cone killer. Looking forward to it now that I had my first taste.

Big things for the Midwest ClubCivic crew.. ilmadikz or whatever the freak we are lol

RIP Michael Jackson

Of course I had to..

You can't tell me that you never found yourself tapping your foot to one of this man's songs. This guy is a legend and its sad that alot of people will remember him because of some looney stuff he did. I'll always remember him for his music. I grew up on this stuff, I grew listening to his older stuff through my parents. Immediately, Billie Jean, Thriller and Beat It come to mind when I think of him. I mean I could go on and on with his music but his older music was GOLD!

I also have to say RIP to Ed McMahon who passed earlier this week and don't forget Farrah Fawcett who passed on the same day. She must be upset that MJ took her limelight on her day of passing hehe

Well, I could go on and on but I'm still recovering from a cold that whooped my ass nasty last night. I'm feeling alot better today but still not 100%.

a throwback..

Changed the music once again.. this time to a little late grammar school/early high school tunes.

Two of my favorite bands back in the day. I should drive around rocking out to these CDs haha

That's right..

Finally decided to test out the car properly. I figured it was the least I could do after finally having the timing belt and water pump replaced. Didn't rank too high but I tried. I need new tires.. I shredded the Falkens so I'm out looking for a new set that'll be my daily tires and still grip at AutoX. The back end of my car would start sliding out on me so I need something that'll keep up with the pace.

Anyway.. other than that, I was looking at getting a new exhaust but meh.. we'll see lol

First some tires though..

Unreliable UPS..

I want to say to the people that follow my twitter-like facebook page that I don't have an anger management problem. UPS has done nothing but fuck up the deliveries to my house. They'll leave parcels on the steps, nowhere near the top step, in the bushes, on the rail, balanced on the mailbox and best of all.. just won't deliver at all.

The best one, that I'll never forget, is when my first set of rims were supposed to arrive on a Friday. The day passed and nothing and then suddenly the status was updated to "nowhere was available to sign, will deliver on Monday." Um no.. after arguing and bitching, it was settled. I would get them on Saturday.

As of right now, 11:38pm, the parcel is still 'out for delivery' which means it'll arrive tomorrow. Fuckin idiot.. It's most likely the driver that hates lifting heavy stuff. If I could beat the shit out of him I would. Please, please have a legitimate reason why I'm not holding my car's front lip asshole..

On another note.. I'm dropping my car off tomorrow morning to have the timing belt and water pump replaced so my car is near 100% for Saturday's auto-x event. It'll be my first time running but not the first time at one. I'm nervous, to say the least. Should be rocking the new look at the event, that's if this idiot decides to finally deliver my front lip tomorrow.
