Booo homework! I'm trying to trade the truck in again so it's loan shopping, which I hate.

^ How does the car feel and how are those LED's? I'm running those in my car and love them. I <3 Emil.

Patrick - so you're gonna get the Focus ST?

I'm on my third cup so far. It has been a long day. I woke up at 6 to finish some work. Meh. Always a meh. Haha.

car feels great, noticed more power and pick up right away but im still breaking in clutch. hHead lights look great and yeah my HID kit is from Emil at krauto and its awesome. I can see literally everything at night haha...

Currently replacing cam chain tensioner/VC gasket due to a minor oil leak and smoke coming from passenger side of engine bay near rear of block under intake. Figured there would be a few quirks to work out with new engine but other than this minor issue she is running strong!

Morning folks, 2 cups down and wondering what to do today. Have a couple of issues to deal with on the car but not pressing issues. Will need some stuff and should wait until the income tax return money is in the bank before spending it! Oh well, there's always yard work to do.

What kind of life is that! Spend on borrowed money, brother!

Actually, been sweating it a bit recently, found the new Audi before selling the other car. Put the old car on CL for a good price which usually does the job, but it had been three weeks and I thought I might have to do some serious marketing for a change. Luckily, some sucker, errr, nice fellow fell in love with the car on first sight last night and gave me full price. Took some of that new money up to my local barrista and got a cup of a recommended Colombian bean he had recently roasted. Not bad, might go back for a second!

Happy Sunday guys!

I was gonna sleep in but the Internet provider decided to call me at 7. I called them last night since I forgot my network password as I was trying to set up a new moded. They said their system was down so they would have to call me back. And they did, at 7 in the morning. Yay! Haha.

Anyway, about to hear out to a coffee shop and get my self some chai tea latte. Kinda woke up with a sore throat so I'm hoping this will be gone as I get my self a cup of warm chai.
