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.

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.

And now back to our regular programming:

Why exactly do they put nipples on store mannequins?

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.

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.

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

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