What kind do you need? Do you know if it's the older or newer type?

I have a few extra of the older and one of the 10 or however many dollar adapter pieces (to fit the newer charging port).

If you literally mean the new Macbook with USB-C then I can't help haha. But if you can use one of the older ones let me know and I can get you one.

I've kind of wondered about the differences. I've seen a few different companies' versions (at least on the internet) and they seem similar enough.

Yeah I thought that could be one possibility. But I took the easy approach, I added a bunch more water (about 64 oz) and waited for leaks. Nothing so far. I did notice that the cap to the reservoir is pretty easy to remove and may not stay fastened tightly. It may well be that it truly just all got used from long drives and/or from evaporation. I will keep an eye on it, and maybe look at it the next time I remove the front bumper.

I like driving in downtown just about anywhere with the buildings surrounding you.

By now i have driven through every small town within an 20 minute drive just exploring new areas. Just avoid smaller residential streets cuz itll probably freak someone out lol

Ended up doing this earlier!

I wanted to see how my new inlet tube felt and went on a lazy drive. Basically San Jose airport to 101N to 237E to 880S to 87 to circle back.

Was maybe a 20-25 minute-ish drive. I realized I should never take 101N that time of day in the summer. Blinding sun, which sucked. Once I got onto 237E things were much better.

For a holiday weekend the highways were surprisingly clear and free of traffic, except for maybe a little spot of 237E where a bunch of bikers who were parked on the shoulder decided to get back on the road as I was passing and made the car in front of me stomp the brakes .

Also I finally smelled Milpitas' odor. Holy. Shit. Should've had my A/C on for that. It's weird because I've been around Milpitas a bit more lately for work (north San Jose but like right on the border) and hadn't noticed any odor. This time I did. Omg.

Why do people suck and lie? Customer comes in and wants to look at a Corolla. While showing her the car, I simply asked what she is driving now. She said she doesn't have a car, to which I replied with asking if she lives near by. She said she does. I asked if she walked, to which she said she drove her car...I fcuking hate people. I just left her after showing her the power seats she wants and her complaining it costs too much even tho our tag is 4k below MSRP. People like that can suck it and don't deserve my help.

[Kaotic Lazagna]

Yes, I will leave a person if they're incredibly stupid and/or disrespectful to me. Those people won't be buying a car anyway, so I'd rather not waste my time when there are actual nice people who do intend on buying at some point and are serious.

Fun seeing some of you guys today for Blackhawk!

I didn't take great pictures with my phone today, though. Oh well.

I just wanna say 680S between Walnut Creek and a bit north of Fremont is ridiculously bad. The road feels like shit to drive on.

680 is a whole lot better than 80 and 880.
