    Had a fun day today. I got called into a smal auto repair place about employment, he wants me to come in and see how I do. 10 minutes in I start looking at a buick that has the blower stuck on high even if the key is out I had only just found where they hid the key, and he tells me to run and get him some bolts real quick about mile down the street. He tells me to take the buick and mess with it on the way to verify the customer complaint, but I turn the key and no lights, no nothing. So I take my car after all (it's warmed up so that's fine with me) and get to the place, get the bolts, come out and upon turning the key, the starter makes a weird noise and doesn't turn very much at all. I let off wait a few seconds and try again, and just a click... I tried everything, banging on it and had someone turn the key, jumping it with a screwdriver, nothing worked. Seems like the starter fried itself. Then I call AAA because I am a member and get 4 free services calls a year, and they say it will be up to an hour and a half. That time passes, they call me and say just a little while longer. 2 hours pass and I call them back, and they say yeah he had a lockout and had to get in a car for someone, they'll be there in 15 mins. 20 minutes later finally they arrive, and the guy that came was a different guy from who they originally called to send. I wasted almost the whole day waiting for them because of this... I'm pissed at the car but it's not exactly the cars fault if I want to separate the starter from the drive train, just the starters fault. Idk it's just annoying. The towing service is what really screwed up, thats crazy.

    Winter mode engaged.







    Plastidipped bullits (so they stay nice and shiny through the winter), mudflaps (because why not), MOAR STICKERS, and soon yellow fogs.

    I would rather lose by a mile because I built my own car, than lose by an inch, because someone else built it for me. Your car is your story, so don't let someone else write the book.

    Did trans pan drop and filter change, ran seafoam through everything, changed the oil pan gasket, and did oil change. It was a busy day before work tonight.

    Handed the key and fob over to my Dad yesterday. A fuel line decided to spring a leak in his Buick. I incorrectly identified it as a vapor recovery line last summer when I told him to ignore it. It's apparently a return line that actually has a lot of fuel going through it. Whoops. I'm in 86-horsepower purgatory until he gets it fixed.

    I learned today how tail happy the F100 is. I went out to trade my dad vehicles today and I can't tell you how many times I got sideways on the 7 mile trip. (I will admit I may have purposely gotten sideways a few times.) I also discovered that an empty, snow covered parking lot is a ton of fun in that truck lol.

    Took a look at how to eke a few extra horses out of the Prius. Learned that the air intake has got to be one of the most convoluted devices ever invented.

    There's a long plastic funnel that has four or five bends leading from the front of the washer fluid bottle down behind the headlight assembly, to the left above the drive belt, up to the intake box before making a 90 degree bend into it. I contemplated attaching a cone intake to it, but that would necessitate ripping out the whole intake assembly, and that means finding a new place to put the MAF. Decided to simplify the intake by taking out the long intake line - now air flows directly into the top of the intake box (where the filter is).

    It net me 3 crank HP - from 86 to 89. And it probably doubled the decibel level at WOT. Unpleasantly so - enough that I'm contemplating putting it back. LOL
