I haz teh hood
if i don't get a job soon, it'll be the first thing i'll part
man...that was a freakin' journey for this damn thing
Problems that occured:
1. I don't have access to a truck or a suv
2. I don't have any local friends that have access to a truck or suv
3. The one friend i did have that had an SUV is too far to help
4. I didn't have rope
5. I did have 4 stretchy hook thingys but were breaking slightly
6. The destination was 11.2 miles from me.
...but naturally i said '**** it' and hopped in the 8 and rode the way there thinkin' of how i was gonna make this work.
when i finally got ahold of ac3 i saw the box and realized 2 more problems
7. The box isn't completely sealed meaning it could fly open at speeds higher than 30mph
8. It had some rough sides that could scratch up my paint pretty bad.
so after some thought i remembered i packed my 'just in case' blanket in my trunk the night before (don't ask) so i busted it out and layered my roof with it. I ghetto rigged the box on top of my car with those 4 stretchy things and hit the street.......doin' 25mph THE ENTIRE WAY BACK.
It was actually pretty cool though - the night was warm but had a nice breeze. A cop rolled by and stared me down though, i thought i was in trouble but then i waved and he gave the thumbs up and took off.
anyways...that was my adventure for the night

i'm thinkin' i might paint it though...
I'm not sure if i wanna take the plunge and join the SS w/cf crowd just yet.
I'm thinkin' of trying something different. I'm thinkin' of refurbing it but possibly painting it BB
yet. I think i'm gonna go play forza and mess with some color combos lol
