My new carriage lights came in today. I can't wait to get them installed, they are supposed to be 50% brighter than OEM.

(oh, I hope people don't yell at me as they pass me by, because they are too bright)

Excellent. I got new tail lights. Seems to get water in them. Anyone know where I can get seals?

Now that brings to mind a back in the day story -

When I was a starving student at OSU, during the spring and fall quarters, I would ride my 10 speed bike between where I lived, classes and the research station (where I worked). The average route was about 65 miles per day.

I always feared someone slamming into the back of me because they didn't see me, so, I bolted one of those "slow moving vehicle" signs to the back of my bike.

Late one evening as I was riding from the research station to my apartment, I was cooking along a straight stretch when I came up to a stop sign. This old boy, who had been following me, stopped, got out of his car and said that he thought he was following a yield sign that kept moving. He was highly intoxicated, so I let go on up ahead.

No, it wasn't snowing or uphill both ways, but I was riding against the wind both ways -

THE END

My vehicle's got this bad backfire out through the intake. Only happens at idle, no load.
Do you think it's a bad tune?

Overheard a weird conversation at the garage this morning. The foal had seen its parents doing something with each other the day before which it it didn't understand. The mare told the foal that's how baby horses are made. The foal replied Yeah, but why is it called doggy style?

You guys are soooo behind the times, so analogue. You really need to update.
That's why I've gone to 8 bit.

Before and after I installed my new rear diffuser. I can really feel the difference at speed.

Mmmm... I'm not sure what Verus Engineering would have to say about that. I would like to see the analysis results.

The boys and me taking the family wagon out for a spin. It's not fast but the off the line torque does not disappoint.
