Today I changed my mind about selling my Celica to buy a MR2 with RHD (because it's very much cheaper than a LHD). I don't know, she has a way of changing my mind every time I plan on changing my car...
Other than that, after sunset I've spent a couple of hours to relocate my dashboard "tools". I'm adding a little 4 inch TV (with video input) to the center console instead of the center air breathers, which involves relocating the clock etc. She'll keep me busy for the weekend, like usually...
(not that I'm not enjoying that kind of work biggrin.gif )

I have to confirm that, every time I get out of my car, I feel I need to look back to her at least once (some guys already said that before). But when I come back to her, it's ever worse: I have to go around all the parking lot, just to see her from the right angle while getting closer... it's hard to understand (for people who have other cars) wink.gif
It's like a fetish, God damn it!!!

Likewise, mine is at an angle from the rear (thats what she said). As if its a mental photoshoot every time. Show some pics when you're done!

went to the dealership and ordered a new front hub and wheel bearing, he threw in a new trd hat since my 11 year old one is almost worn out, then I picked up a brochure for the 2011 FJ Cruiser. Then I got a job... keeping people from hanging out in front of the drugstore.

Started the car and heard something knocking in the drivetrain. I love life !


And I agree with above statements it isnt just you. When I drive to work i turn around and look at my car for about 5 seconds. I feel as though Im forgetting something.

I wish i could just minimize it and put it in my pocket.

Put my Konigs back on, changed the oil, cleaned the underbody of my car because they salted the roads when it snowed mad.gif, and cleaned the outside of my car for the first time since like September, also cleaned the interior. Good day in preparation for the NW Toy Run tomorow. smile.gif

Replaced a shot o'ring for the thermostat. Leaking coolant, me thinks not.

Mini story:

About 3 months ago the thermostat got shot, so I went to Horrible Service Zone. Bought a Maybe Will Last thermostat because I needed one then. My friend wanted to work on my car so I let him. He did the thermostat, everythings been fine since then. A few days ago I noticed coolant leaking. So I took off the inlet, pulled out the thermostat, the o'ring was a c'ring. Bought a new one went to go put everything back together and got stumped. I was thinking to myself how did my friend get this thermostat to fit, it's way to big? So I went to auto zone and asked to see a thermostat for my car. He hands me the box, I compare... of course. They once again sold me the wrong part and this whole time I had a thermostat for who knows in my car. I didn't have the box or receipt so I had to re buy it even though they sold me the wrong part. Morale of the story is, never let anyone else work on your car. The end.

After being robbed 4 times in 2 months and 6 months of not having a radio but a huge hole in my dash, I installed a new radio. Luckily they didnt take any of the focal components. Now just for the amps & subs ill be back to normal.

..was told yesterday my piston rings are going out and to go to a thicker oil and start getting ready for the swap.

..and finally, last weekend I welded the hood latch, cut the reinforcement bar and put on my GT4 Hood/Bumper on. Bumper should be getting painted this week, fingers crossed.

i spent half the day cleaning my idle control valve, flushing the cooling system, replaced thermostat, replaced coolant, and replaced the transmission fluid for 3L of synchromesh.
cleaning the iac was a pain because i stripped 3 of the 4 screws which was common (according to the how-to's) but i managed to get them out with a flathead and a hammer smile.gif.
still have to take the car for a test drive.. might drive down to the states to pick up my new laptop.

Started 'er up @ 4am to go to work.
On the driver seat was a box cutter-- I thought maybe belonged to my stepson for his work.
Took it in & gave it to my Bride. She was upset he'd put his stuff in my car.
She calls me @ work & says it wasn't his, never seen it!!
Top it off, foot prints in the snow going toward a neighbors house!!!

I won't be able to tell if any damage was done to the console til I get home.

It's that time of year when no-goods try to take your stuff!!
Lock 'em up & turn on the alarm!!

PS
Thing is, my radio is a cheap cd player-- not worth the chance of getting caught taking it!!LOLOL!!

Did that to the "other" car last summer!!!Must have fixed whatever, no prob since! LOL!!

PS
Console is ok, lots of wires pulled sideways behind it!! Maybe they gave up since the radio is 10 yrs old & out of style & soooo out dated!!! Retucked the wires. All good!!

Fate

Got pulled over today, twenty feet from my parking spot at the Apartments. Was told that its "illegal" to have a plastic covering over my license plate in Texas. Also told that I need a Texas drivers license and to register my celica in Texas as well. Which would be fine but my HOR is Tennessee and all my stuff is from there. Best part is the cop didnt even give me a citation because he "didnt know for sure about the drivers license thing". So pretty much just wasted 20 minutes of my time for nothing. And in retrospect my car has gotten broken into, and vandalized but nothing was done about that either. I'm starting to see a trend here.
But the best part is he followed me because I have no front plates (i just know it), because we were traveling in opposite directions when I first saw him.
