better gas mileage? ****, I should have come down instead of spending all day installing speakers in my doors.

Ah well, at least my stereo is finally fully functional.

Dent update:


Was at AJ wash the other day and there was a paintless dent guy there. We got to talking and I found out he lived like 300 feet away from me. He came out this morning to fix the 3 dents on the drivers side of my car.. the little one by the front that's been there forever and the two I put in by being a retard with the garbage cans.
One hour later and they are GONE. The man is a freaking artist!
For what he did, he's cheap. If anyone else needs some dents taken out give him a call:
Dings Plus
408-243-8778
the man's name is Doug Carpenter

Thanks. It's ear splittingly delicious. If I can manage to squash out the last of the alternator whine, and toss a JL 10w6 in the trunk instead of my rockford fosgate punch, I could probably blow Jedi's system out of the water.

I ended up taking a drive down the peninsula just to listen to all the new stuff I can hear in my music. The difference is really incredible, Bose should be ashamed of themselves for passing that off has "premium" quality audio.

Well, I got into my first freeway accident (minor nothing major). A plastic garbage can fell of a storage truck and hit me right on the front right bumper. Small crack and some deep scratches.

Let's sneak over to his house and take off the "damaged" parts.

I hope it will be gone. It was dented right where the door handle is. I'm parking in the BFE sections in parking lots from now on.

He was able to get the dent out that was right below the a pillar and there's hardly any room in there to work. if he's not able he'll tell you upfront.

It's the free scratched-up OEM wings.

I'm going to the adjuster tomorrow so they can give me an estimate. I think I'll just get the check and repair it myself.

Hey guys, I'm looking to trade my rx7 for an rx8. I'm looking for an rx8 that does not have a sunroof, because I don't fit.

The ad is here:
