Hi guys. Just finished my last mod and a little detailing. Pics of my latest mods, CAI, windshield washer relocation kit, supercharger overdrive pulley, and last 2 are the splitter protection spacers.

thanks for the spot putty link, mr. happy. :icon17:

i took out my G a couple more times pm. had a good time. :) my Z's cooled down so i check oil level, etc. everything looks good.

also wired up a switch with led on my fit to turn my drl on/off. i hate drl, but on drizzly days, i would turn that on instead of headlights so i dont dim my hu. :)

plus, sometimes im idling at night in a parking lot waiting for someone, and the DRL doesnt turn off until i shut down. which imo is dumb. so now, i can shut it off manually without killing the engine. :D

As I neared the door, this kid approached me as he was jingling some change in his hand. He was maybe about 15 or 16 and I thought he was panhandling at first, but then he asks me if I would go to the tobacco store next door and buy him some Newports.

I told him I couldn't do that and he asked again. I then told him that it was illegal and I was not interested n breaking the law today. He then said that he was getting them for his sister who was just around the corner. The answer is still no, I replied and kept heading to the dry cleaner. He asked one more time and I told him that he can buy all he wants when he turns 18.

Get this -- he said he was 18 so I just laughed and said "whatever, have a good day".

As I entered the cleaners, he yelled, quite loudly, "White-azz Cracker!!!"

When I looked it up in my Urban Dictionary application, it turns out that it was an insult to my race. Unbelievable. I feel hurt. Very hurt.

That's harsh, and truly unecessary. :(

I knew you were joking. Regardless, it still comes across harsh. Just sayin'.

And now back to our regular programming:

Why exactly do they put nipples on store mannequins?

thanks. yah, im switching to stillens too. :icon17:




yah, i wish that was the case, but it doesnt work that way on my fit. it's once i disengage the e-brake, regardless of ebrake engaged or not, the DRL does not turn off until i shut down. :shakes head:

plus, my car is MT so i need e-brake while the engine is running and im watching dvd or something for longer than 5min or so. :D

it doesn't matter, he knows it's not harsh lol


to be anatomically correct... however, not all of them do have nipples.. which is weird lol :bowrofl::bowrofl: :bowrofl:

but that would be like... if they put wieners on dude mannequins... lol
