Unfortunately, there are quite a few lights around here that either do not have turn arrows, or the time of the turn arrow is impossibly short to permit decent traffic flow (think about 2 cars go through before it turns yellow).

I give the first car or two that turns on red at an intersection like that a pass. Anything after that irks me though.

However, turn left in front of me right when the light turns green when you have no arrow, and I'll floor it right at you and lay on the horn.

I have just given in to the fact that people are all idiots, and nothing will change them. My focus shifted from trying to correct idiotic behavior to trying to maintain a nice, low, steady blood pressure on my commute.

Did you get your roof closed?
I got it to the "vent" mode.

as soon as i got into work i took the glass off. about to go on lunch to check out the track... also took off the seal on the glass... the metal brace has bout 3 4" spots missing from rust. i will fabricate a little peice of flashing with silicone to make it so the gasket goes back on. i will also grind down some of the rust... paint and hope it fits back together..


i just want to figure out the freaking track though...


talk to you guys later tonight!

He has WAY too short of an attention span - even worse than Tom

Rocky is our "foster" kitten who looks like he will become a permanent member of the family at this point, doh!

He loves watching the computer screen and seeing things move like when I type and the text appears to flow across the screen - or if there are banner ads that have motion of any kind.

moonroof right side track is FUBAR'd. will need to replace the module. also found out that the metal "frame" of the glass itself is missing a bunch of sections due to rust...


wil need to find replacement track module... and i'll JB weld in some sheet metal to where the window "frame" aka gasket/window seal ledge is.



FML.

The discussions have begun! Looks like I will be autocrossing an F-Mod car this season. In fact, a lot of people will be autocrossing F-Mod cars in this area. Last count is at least a dozen drivers, including a past National champion and two guys that got robbed of a potential 1-2 finish last year. Should be fun!

Probably this car, freshened up, wearing different colors.
