Damn, Angela... Your dealer should give you one for all the screwups they made in delivering your baby to you.

That's the 2nd time I'd run across that one - and still just as funny! It may take a while to load. Just click on it and go do something else - you'll hear it when it starts if you have the volume up!

Looks like someone's getting a Suzuka Blue this weekend!!!
Matt Piercy's is in and my local dealer is trying to swap a Silverstone for a Suzuka too. Now I have to pick just one. I don't want to be a flake on Matt but it sure would be nice to drive 12 miles to my local dealer for it (15 minutes) rather than about 2 hours in horrendous traffic to get one. Plus Matt is overcharging on the XM. But Matt's is in, and the local guy may not be able to trade for one. But then I have to make another trip to go back for the hardtop too.
What to do...

I know you'll be glad when this is finally over, won't you, Patty?
Meanwhile, I have a little problem. I put my car (beater) in yesterday to get a tire a new tire. While driving in this morning in the dark, the dash lights went out except for the clock, blinkers and cruise control light. Not seeing the gauges (or how much I was speeding) was a bit disconcerting. Is this a job I can do myself by replacing a fuse, since I'm in "learn" mode after FC? I'm sick of being ripped off for simple things. Anybody?

What would I ever do without you, Rob? The fact that they were on when I started out led me to believe it was the fuse but I will check the dimmer switch. You're going to make a backyard mechanic out of me yet. Buying my oil at Walmart was a direct result of you doing the same for me in Ohio. I owe you a quart, don't I? AND from now on, I'm going to carry a extra quart in the car when I travel long distances just like you. Keep teaching me, lil bro.

Actually it was Gene who went to Wal-mart to buy the oil. I mentioned it to him after I checked your oil.
When you carry the spare oil in your trunk make sure the cap is on tight and put it into a Zip-lock storage bag. It is also a good idea to carry a small, cheap funnel and a roll of paper towels. The funnel should also be kept in a Zip-lock bag because after you use it there will be oil on it. If you keep it in the Zip-lock, you won't have to worry about getting oil all over your trunk and it's contents.
