Getting laid is on the list, too, but that's not happening any time soon.
I still need to do a few more things to the car. Just general maintenance stuff. Mainly spark plugs and spark plug wires. I just drove the car around, and I got 110 miles on a quarter tank. Not too bad. Not too bad at all. 26 or 27 miles to the gallon. Not too bad.

Not too much news. Just installed some brand new spark plugs. Went with the Iridium IX. I guess that is one less thing to worry about now. Don't know if it is a Placebo effect or not, but the car feels a little more responsive. Anyways, going to give credit where it is due. Thanks to Ed (iliketofu) for giving me a hand and showing me how to do it. Wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I figure it's been awhile since I changed out my wear and tear items, so figured that I changed those and have smoother running car. Still need to do the wires, but trying to find a place that sells them for a good price.

Auto-X this weekend at Golden Gate Field. Come out and hang with me.
I do have a ton of projects, but I am going to try to get those finish before Saturday afternoon. I am thinking about going to HIN in San Mateo. Maybe, maybe not. We'll have to see.
Other piece of news. Working on getting some new rubber. That's tires, not condoms. Still having a little trouble deciding which tires I want to get. There's a thread going around the BAIC right now about it. No rush or anything. I have 2 project due on Monday. Another project due the following Monday. The following Friday and Saturday is finals. Not too much time to really think about tires. Just spend time doing homework and finishing up the quarter on a good note.
I am thinking about doing the T.E.A.M. racing event at Thunderhill on April 4th. I have until next week to decide. I think it'll be fun. Opportunity to get some more seat time. We'll just have to see. $235 is a lot of money. Not to mention that I'll be spending close to $600 on tires. A little at a time I guess.

Just bought my ticket. Probably going to bail early. Just in case I need to finish HW and/or get rest for Sunday's event. I thought about it, and I think I'll be able to go to the event. Not to mention that I think some tire booths will hand out rebate forms or coupons if I decide to buy their tires. I figure that I can save myself some money via that route.

Hi all.
So... I am currently working on a t-shirt design. It is coming out pretty well. Just a few things here and there and it'll be awesome. Originally, I wanted to do something front and back, but I decided just to do the front. Here is what it looks like at the moment.

On my car? About 131K and still running strong. Should be good for another 120k. I doubt the engine will make it there though. There are plans... Two words, WRX or STi swap. Sooner or later...
edit: I just posted t-shirts online on CafePress. Check it out. If you are planning to purchase one, let me know before you do. Apparently, there is a bulk discount if I order more than 15 of one item.
