Jeebus I love your screen name lol

Left my key in the car after work yesterday evening. It was hanging on a lanyard around the shifter so I fished it through a gap between the window and seal with two coat hangers.

Good job on the retrieval, Ferdi.

Yesterday, I adjusted my headlights a bit more and then I wasted time by taking a bunch of worthless photos of the car.

Good for you, I got drunk and ordered projectors! xD

Why didn't you do it the easy way and just jam a coat hanger into the power door lock/unlock button?

Credit for the idea goes to the maintenance guy on property. Solid man, that.




See above. I don't plan to have an opportunity to test if another way works.

It's stupid how easy our cars are to get into without taking out the glass. The lock just stops the unmotivated.

You needs some different head lights!!
Dash cam is a great idea!!

Today I finally figured out what I'm doing car wise, my lady friend helped me decide. Hundreds of car enthusiasts couldn't convince me one way or another, but someone that doesn't know much about cars at all could. Funny how things work out. Of course I haven't told her that yet, wouldn't want her to think she knows me or anything...

So are you going to finally tell us already? I thought you were going back to the Supra?

Those are the crappy eBay HID kit.

Got way way better ones now



Went to my friends today:



Then went to Bowling and then a National Park Run (known to those that watch mighty car mods as a "Nasho" run)


Then went to Pancakes on the Rocks, and finally got home at 2am good night

Now to bed lol

I was planning to get a Supra again, but she made me look deep within myself to see what I really want. It doesn't hurt that she has a thing for them either. That being said I'll post a not so subtle hint.

I don't know much about American cars... But I'll take a wild guess that your getting a Firebird

Yes josh
A fireturd

Better than a rustang.

How much is a decent Firebird with manual over there? (Still looking at what I should get, lol )

More than a Mustang, if that tells you anything. Depends on which engine it's equipped with. A good LT1 model is around $3,000+, where as a good LS1 model is $4,500+. If you shop around you can find some good deals though. Personally if you have the money spring for the LS1 version, even better in WS6 trim. The Camaro is identical aside from body paneling and some interior cues. They're usually a few hundred less than a comparable Firebird.

Not to say the Mustang is a bad car, it's just not up to what the Firebird and Camaro is. The 5.0 models can have power put into them for cheap. The 96-98 4.6 models are just pathetic, so if you want a newer one at least go with the 99+ models.

Okay, well budget is about $5k. Most important thing really is having something that is desirable enough that I can sell again quickly in less than 4 months after buying without losing significant money If I got a Mustang it would be '01-'03... and have to be the GT

Oh, and the elephant in the room of course is the fact that since it will be a semester-long exchange on a student visa I will actually need a Californian Drivers Licence, with no social security number, and to then get insurance too

As far as a daily driver goes the Mustang is probably a little better. More upright seating position(I personally like laying down, so just depends on you), higher off the ground, and it doesn't have a nose that goes out forever(gotta watch those sidewalks and concrete stops...). Performance wise the F-body is better, so it just depends on exactly what you're wanting. Another thing to note is the Mustang does have nicer interior, and engine access is better. That aside the F-body has a 6-speed, and the Mustang a 5-speed. Ehh, the F-body has a hydraulic clutch while the Mustang uses a cable, and the F-body requires premium where as the Mustang uses regular. Though the F-body gets better mpg, so you're pretty much even on fuel costs. It's easier to find a nice Mustang for cheap. I've seen nice early 00's models in the $3K range. As long as you get the 99+ 4.6 Mustang you'll be ok.

well, my guess was way off then.

I figured, talking to a lady friend and that picture. 1st thing I thought, was TRAMP STAMP.
