So now I've got a set of silver/chrome if someone would like them.
how much?

I fixed my mp3 adapter ^_^

Talked with donny, it was a simple resistor value mismatch.

Thankfully there are about 2 billion tons of resistors at work.
Soldered a nice size 0603 1k resistor in there and suddenly it works. It's pretty sweet. I feel... useful almost. Heh.


I totally call dibs on the accents.

Blinking lights... this **** I can fix. Give me a soldering iron and I could make you a ******* condom, or at least give her an abortion after my condom fails.
its just a shitty led. i bought it from autolumination like a year ago and its crapping out. i spliced them into the courtesy lights.

Not door handles, door handle accents. It's hard to explain, but you'll see them tomorrow.

I'm also selling front row seats to the cage match for the other set!

The reason I want them is cuz people keep on chipping that part of my door handle. I'm ******* tired of touch up painting then smoothing it out then more touch up painting my door handles.




You called dibs on forums first; I called him and called dibs first that way. So I say it's a wash.

*shrugs* it's up to Dick.

ok, ok, ok... this is an easy decision. A simple cage match to the death with Dick as the referee. the only weapons will be rubber chickens and staplers.

Haha, yea pretty much. But i figured you'd get a kick out of a skateboard with more underglow than our cars.
