Today the roads were terrible. Shanell and I drove out to Arbor Brewing Company to pick up a Flemish Noir for the New Year celebration. The roads were slick. I picked up a set of snow tires today. They were in a garage for four years so I got a decent deal on them. When I got them home, I figured out that they each had between 5-16 psi of air in them. Luckily, I found a pump and so I pumped them full of air so that I could put them on. After removing my wheel covers, I got a surprise. I have wheel locks! Lucky me. No snow tires today. =( I thought about taking them off with a socket, but it would probably toast the locks and driving around with a missing lug nut on each wheel doesn’t sound like fun. Tomorrow I’ll head up to the stealership and see if they’ll take them off for me.
Shanell got me a car stereo for Christmas. I installed it in about eight hours. I really hate installing those things. The wiring was easy, but the kit the sent was a pita. It didn’t fit right and it got rid of the stock bin underneath the stereo and replaced it with nothing. I ended up fabricating my own mounting system by doing a ton of dremeling and using sheet metal to construct a platform. The stereo is great though. It has a USB port on the front where you can insert a USB stick and play mp3 files.

Ha! 8 hours! And Dremel-ing, and modding, and half-assing it? Wow, you sound like Will! Seriously though, my buddy just got a radio with a usb…. It is friggen awesome. Plug in a porn-stick, a HDD, or a iPod, it controls them all. WAY too cool….

Tell me exactly what is a porn stick because there’s no porn stick slot on my radio. If there was, maybe I wouldn’t need a girlfriend
