Too bad about the car
lol at you guys.
Leo, Dan is right. You can learn to drive a manual transmission in one day! I knew the concept of manual all of my life and never put it to the test. The first time i tried I believe was with Solo for less than 10 minutes. I did stall a few times. The second time i tried was in CT and I did fairly well. Then I drove randy's car and wallah...i have the hang of Manual. The last time I stalled was with carrie and I have driven a lot of manual cars since then. Shiit, I was driving a 6 series manual up and down Northern BLVD here in woodside the other day. It is really easy, but a hassel in the city for sure.

They say it has to be purchased before 47mos. and or 49k miles.
I called over to the dealer and they told me
2 year $1295.00
3 year $1495.00
4 year $1695.00
I don't know the miles that go along with each price because I will never have a miles issue. Its all about time for me

might be a good idea if we call in pairs, see if we can get a better deal. That was the price given up front, no haggling.
I also got $1275+tax out of Paragon Acura but I doubt they will let me finance it.

wow what a fucking horrible week for me.
Last Friday, my dad had to put our Boxer to sleep. He was 2 weeks short of his 14th Birthday. The poor thing had muscle atrophy for the last 3 months, but he could still walk with his front legs and somewhat his rear and his brain worked perfectly, until Friday. His legs totally gave out and he lost control over his bowel movements.
Then on Monday my sister had to go to the hospital due to her stomach condition getting worse. She spent 2 days in ER and the hospital room. They let her go after all the tests and she's feeling slightly better.
And now yesterday. After meeting the buyer for my car and being overjoyed, Margaret and I went to her mom's for dinner. We played with her 2 Dachshunds (7 and 13 yrs) and everything was pretty ok. 10 minutes after we left to go home we get a call from her mom that the older one is not feeling very well and has trouble breathing. We returned and took her to the vet. Once we got there, the person in front of us let us go bcs she saw how bad our dog was feeling. They put her on an oxygen machine. She started feeling better, so the vet told us to go to the emergency room, since theyre about to close (this was around 10pm). Then as we were anxiously waiting in the waiting room they called us to the back. The poor thing was breathing through a tube, couldnt breathe on her own. They told us she might not make it if we take her to the ER by car and as we were deciding what to do, her heart stopped beating and they could save her. She has water in her lungs and her heart couldnt drain it out fast enough.
So yea, just needed to put it out there and get it off my chest.
RIP Hooch and Daphne

well, since we're on the topic:
1. Change left tire liner
2. Glue back cover on the trunk
3. put HID back into fogs
well...I think that's it, unless I ever get my self to swap the front bumper due to scratches which will probably return instantly so maybe just repainting it would be easier, maybe.
