I found a Ferrari 330 P4, cheapest was about $60. Anyway, I found an awesome Datsun poster, featuring a 240Z with bolt-on fender flares, stretched tires, and just the typical cool Datsun style. There's also a picture I found of a C6.R at Lime Rock with the water from the track misting up behind it, and it looks amazing. I now have it as te background for everything possible, and it will soon be my profile picture on here. That picture alone makes me happy. I missed my 1000th post though..
Congrats on 2,000 Waffles.

Datsun??
I like Datsun. That Ferrari one is tempting, but not at that price. I'll find one soon enough.
Speaking of Datsun, my gears have been oiled. As I was riding home in the back of my friend's old Nissan (not Datsun
) pickup with some other friends, I caught a glimpse into the garage of someone right up the street from me. There was a great-looking bright orange Datsun 240Z with the black panel around the tail lights, looked slightly lowered and very clean. I may be seeing this around now. Another thing oiling my gears is that it is certain that I'm going to the Lehigh Valley auto show tomorrow. I haven't gone in a couple of years, so I'm excited to see what will be there, even if there aren't as many sports cars and less exotics than the Philadelphia show that I missed the last two years. My friend is bringing a tuned 300C SRT8 from the company he works for, which he claims is nearly undriveable on public roads. Also, my dad has stopped caring whether I floor it through the gears when I'm practicing driving, because the clutch is starting to go (65,000 miles on it).

Well the book recommends changing it at 50,000 miles, and my dad drove it to and from work every day, plus wherever else he had to go for at least 5 years until my mom got her Windstar. Plus, every time that my mom has to drive it, she rides the clutch a lot. My dad drives it now about half as much, since he has his GTO and a Neon sometimes. He thinks that it can last until I get my license, at which point I will have to replace it. Same goes for the fuel gauge. It doesn't work, but we can use the trip odometer for that, since a fix would mean pulling out the whole fuel tank.
Anyway, I'm going outside now. It's a good mid 70-degree day, so I feel great about going out, even if I am sore.

I still have yet to get a Nissan GTR poster. I really like the Datsun 510 Race car.
Gotta look up one of those puppies.Being at work oils my gears. It's nice and warm out.

That LBP Karting was announced (looks much better that ModNation, which was a mess once all the DLC flooded the game), and even though UFG is making it, Media Molecule is part of the making.
Also, had tons of fun at drum line. We just kind of slacked off and hung out with our instructor, which is funny because he's 40 years older than me but he's as immature. It's great.

I don't have one week... I have one and a half. Because Friday is Good Friday so it's a public holiday. And by this point in the school term the school is really sick of the students. So they just make the first TOD (Teacher Only Day) the Thursday before Good Friday (it also gives us a longer holiday, we get 16 days from a two week holiday. That Oils my Gears.

Ok some of you may have read my post in other threads always complaining because my Internet sucks for some reason. It always has low signal and occasionally has really great signal which should be always. I used to get 50% signal on my PS3 which is literally on the exact opposite side of the house and down two floors. So the percentage is pretty good for that far. However for the past like year I'm getting more like 30% which isn't enough to do anything. Always cutting out. What I did was wrap one side of my router in tin foil creating a wall behind it to direct the signal more towards the rest of the house because it is supposed to boost the signal. I am not joking I went up 8% more in my room instantly which is already close and am back to 50% where my PS3 is lol. I can't believe how well it worked.
Another which is kind of related is I used my good Internet to play the drift seasonal. It's all italian cars this week and number two in the leader board of the world is some dude in a fiat panda haha. Like all Enzo's and 599 and yet the panda smoked them all.
