LOL, I doubt mine could ever look that good after collecting dust for 20 years...and I'm not sure what I'd do with it. Maybe sneak over to the local skate park when the kids are supposed to be in school LOL!

good afternoon...suppose to have the day off (painting) but i'm on the laptop with work...
I feel you. Its a bit uncomfortable, but its nice to cruise around every once in a while. And besides they look sssssexy ass heck as a roof rack accessory ;-) LMFAO
Hah hah, yeah, I should put a bike rack in the bed of the REPU just for the bike.
I had an interesting ride home tonight after meeting up with some of Oleg's friends to brew beer in Nashua. I was about 2 minutes from home when I encountered an armada of flashing lights. The road up to my neighborhood is notorious for accidents. I turned off onto a neighborhood to loop around the block. It was dark so I flipped on the high beams. About a 1/2 mile later everything when dark. No lights! Ahh! I pulled over immediately because NH doesn't have street lights and I couldn't see a damn thing. I couldn't even tell if I was on the edge of the road, that's how dark it was. In the dark I fiddled around under the hood and switched what I thought was the horn fuse with the light fuse. I had labeled things a few weeks ago but I wasn't 100% sure I had the right ones. All I remembered was that the horn was furthest to the right. I lucked out and the lights turned on! I drove home (without high beams) and parked it. Under the lights of the garage I inspected and confirmed the blown fuse. The entire fuse box, which is pretty crude anyway, was hot to the touch. There must be a wire grounding out somewhere. When I got the truck, I had noticed the fuse box had previously melted a bit. I guess this is how it happened. Note to self, stick to the low beams until the bad wiring can be identified.

Owners choice. Im pretty sure you can. That sounds 80's style to me. I feel like Ive seen green, orange, blue, red, all color cables.
And sorry to skip over I was working, but ddddaaammmn that sucks about the headlights. You def need to figure that out before your fuse box/bay catches on fire... Happened to my buddies E30. IT WAS AAAAWESOME! HAHAHAHA
Also, apparently Im still hitting boost cut. Idk?!? I hit it this morning on the way to work. Car was already warmed up. Couldnt repeat on the way home.... I turned down the waste gate with as lil threads as possible but Im still around 9PSI so pretty much Im SCREWED!! SS-AFC is an absolute must. I really wish the previous owner wouldve gotten an MBC for 19.99 rather than a Forge WGA and JoeP FCD for over 200$..... (hand) RICERS (hand)

morning, well i've been painting for weeks now, got the whole front and back of the house done, need to paint the eaves...a little high up there and need to use a "pick" on one end with a ladder on that...yikes! got my shed painted, flower boxes up, planted a bunch of flowers hung some hanging plants around, did the weeding/mulching in my mom's garden, bought her some plants (she'll be here sat for her surprise 80th), ordered a tent/tables and charis for the party sat., mowed and weed whacked the entire yard, watered the lawn and then around 7:30 last night washed my car and went for a ride to get some ice cream with my bride! what a day! back to the rock pile today and NO PAINTING! 
Sounds like an action packed weekend Mahk. We missed you on Sunday. Tony and I washed 4 cars between the two of us and then started drinking. Raul, Lui, and Antonio stopped by for burgers and then we hit the local race track. A hot action packed afternoon. We'll definitely do it again soon!
Had a busy weekend. Did the autox school sat which was a blast. Car ran well with no issues. Learned a few things, will try to put to use when racng starts in June.
Sunday worked on my sisters tractor that broke a belt for the cutters. Had to remove the deck, what a pain. Found another belt almost cut through. Told her she needed another belt before I could put the deck back on. Went to my parents and grabbed the canoe for the summer. Hosted diner for my brother and his family.
Monday is a holiday. Cleaned out the storage and rearranged the shed and RV. Hopefully we are finally done for the summer.

Yeah.. I wanted to go to the meet, but the wife's graduation was yesterday.. she would have shot me lol
Good morning. I was up late last night tinkering with the old '60s entertainment console we got for $25 at the Flea market. It worked for about an hour when we first got it then crapped out. The wife wanted it more for its looks than functionality...but I decided to get new tubes and capacitors anyway.
I spent the evening removing the old gooey wax capacitors and soldering in new ones. I also swapped out some of the tubes but a few of the ones I got weren't compatible even though the website said they were. At about 12:15 I finally got it to fire up and play some music. I still have a few more caps to replace before I put it all together again...but she should be as good as new when I'm done!
