The Life of MeWhere to start… Quite simply, it was supposed to be a nice day visiting State College and spending some time together. It turned out to be something quite different. I can’t say with any certainty what happened (because I don’t know for sure). My best guess is that I dozed off and lost control. Driving down route 15, just past Trout Run, I hit an inside (driver’s side) guardrail going around a corner. I crossed [...]

The Life of MeI posted a bit a while back about starting to take apart my car and remove some aftermarket bits and replace with OEM (where needed)… I took a giant step in that direction last night. I’m not well past the mid-point of my teardown. So much so that I probably have only 4 or 5 things left to do. And the hardest part will just be removing the wiring from my amp. Last night, since [...]

Cars & RacingMy idiot light is starting to nag me. Stupid Maintenance Required. Yes, I know. Stop blinking at me! Thing is that my oil change is definitely due but I’ve got quite a few other things that really need to be taken care of soon. I’m not very good at maintenance intervals aside from the oil changes. I’m more or less referring to my transmission there though. I did replace the fluid a couple years ago [...]

Cars & RacingI got my inspection recently. Turns out I had a license plate bulb out. Wellll it seems there’s a bad connection in there or something because I noticed on Friday that I had another one out (same one?). Figured wth… might as well upgrade to something a little more appealing. LEDs FTW. Garage1217 hooked me up with some serious aluminum LED bulbs at lightening speed. Really… I ordered Friday evening around 9pm. The bulbs were [...]

Debt & CreditExcept when it involves my money. My revolving debt is up again. Or at least since May. I don’t know what my June numbers looked like, but probably not great. Sad part is I can’t even speak to what exactly the money was spent on. Regardless, the total is going up and it sucks. On the other side of the seesaw, my other debts are dropping. I only owe about $6200 on my car (yes, [...]

Cars & RacingApparently my inspection was due at the end of June. Just noticed it today when driving to FasTrac. Oops I guess. I think I did this a few years ago as well. Just kind of forgot or didn’t notice. There isn’t really any sort of notification that it would be due. I changed my oil today too. I have a reminder thing for that from my car – and it was blinking at me – [...]

The Life of MeI know a lot of people have the “kids these days” mentality… but holy shit I might just ring someone’s neck. Sitting here in the living room, my car alarm goes off. Strange b/c there are no trees or anything over it and it is LITERALLY right outside the window. I turn it off and then go out to look at why… there is a ROCK sitting on my windshield… about the size of a [...]
