Installed the Nameless muffled track pipe. Inexpensive way to get a better sound.

New battery, costco Interstate 640 CCA for 75$, not bad. Cranks sooo much better now. The original OE battery was gonna leave me stranded any day now.

Hang on folks, this is exciting!

Yesterday, I went up to the Walmart super grocery store to get mrs humfrz some caffeine free diet coke. Yep, Walmart, seems that the quick shops in this area don't carry it and mrs humfrz NEEDS it, sort of like when I'm out of cigarettes.

Note to self - NEVER go to Walmart on Sundays - unless you want to feel you are in a third world country.

I noticed that the low tire pressure light had just come on. While I was driving past a gas station, I thought I'd put some air in the tires - NOT for $1.25 I'm not - I'll air up when I get home.

So, I was dreading a slow leak in one of the tires. However, when I checked the tires pressures they ALL were about 24-26 psi. So, I aired them up to 35 psi.

Now, the point of the story is, don't wait for the idiot low pressure light to come on before checking tire pressures, or you could be driving around with low pressure in your tires.

See, now wasn't THAT exciting!

I would have to wait until somebody posted "There is a light that looks like a tire on my dash what does it mean?" and see what people said before I could do anything.

I had one of my sons call me up and say "Hey Dad, I have a light on my dash that looks like an exclamation point stuck down in a vase, any idea what that means?"

I suggested he pull out the operator's manual out of the glovebox and look it up, then if he couldn't find it, call me back.

Figured it was time I got the stone chips in my bumper and bonnet repaired, so in a moment of inattention ran up the back of a ute, at about a walking pace. Not so much as a scratch on their towbar, but it did a real number on my bumper and radiator.

There goes the no-claim discount.

Wow! Bummer! That really did do a number. Good luck with repairs.

Welp, that's a shame -

However, by the time you could have scraped all those bugs off, the bumper would have been in such bad shape, you would have had to replace it anyway -

Now the rock chips don’t look that bad lol

Body kit time! And since it slightly moved the radiator, you might as well throw in a turbo

In all seriousness, that sucks bro. Literally hate seeing damaged twins Good luck

Hubby says “aren’t they supposed to return it to pre-accident condition? I wonder how they’re gonna apply the bugs, probably some kind of pressure spray.”
