Here’s my best so far, with just injectors and a tune:

Upgraded the Saturn from stock 32#/hr. injectors to new GM Stage 2 42#/hr units!

I love car shows. The seconds Saturday of every month they have a get-together at the Wal-Mart here, and there’s always some cool cars that show up.

Now that the temperatures are creeping closer to triple-digits, it makes me wonder why I ever thought black cars were cool. I mean, they’re hard to keep clean, they show swirl marks and scratches easily, and they’re HOT when you leave them in the sun!
But you rarely see cars in black anymore. Some sports cars, but nobody sells minivans in black. Very few 4-door sedans come in “stealth” black. It’s kinda ironic, when you remember that the very first mass-produced auto in history “came in any color you wanted, as long as it was black.”
Tint would help, but I don’t like the C.I.A. look, and I definitely ain’t okay with calling a car “murdered out.” It might be okay, though, since nobody could see who’s inside. They couldn’t see the kid’s car seats, couldn’t see the napkins and toys left there by my kids, and couldn’t see that I’m not a 16 year old, and I don’t really want to street race your Honda.
Maybe it’s time to wash the car… again…
I sold my old car. Yeah, it’s just a clunker, but it was my clunker, and it served me well over the last ten years. It even survived Hurricane Katrina! I’m going to miss it. It was my very first “new” car, and it’s now got over 205,000 miles on it.
The good news is, I’m going to use the (very little) money I got from it to get some cool stuff. I might even buy a drill press! Goodness, it’s not like I couldn’t use one of those… it would improve my computer modding 100% instead of eyeballing measurements and praying that the drill bits don’t wander, and ruin a project…
Anyway, change is good. Sometimes we have to put aside things that we like, to accomplish things that we love.
I’m going to miss you, baby.
I’m addicted to the internet. More specifically, I’m drawn to the huge communities that form there, and the interests they share. I’m fascinated by internet culture, “phenomenon” and jargon.
The problem is, I really need to get away from my house… take my kids along, teach them about getting along with people, show them how to be passionate about something other than Disney Channel (shudder!). They need to talk to people, see people, hug people, and generally interact with people. And so do I.
