As for the monitor, have you checked the settings of the video card? I can just right click on my desktop and access my video card's settings. Make sure you have the output set to correspond to the specs of your monitor.

You've led me in the right direction. Right click on the desktop and click on screen resolution. I was able to make it so the entire screen on my monitor is used, but it's soo big. It's not really bothering me that much right now.

Eric congrats on the new laptop. The monitor issue sounds weird. If you haven't figured it out by later next week I can stop by Thursday or Friday if you want and try and help you with it.

Had my old car tinted there. Make sure they go all the way up to the top of the window with the tint. They left a small gap on top of mines which makes it fugly. Adding some kind of moleskin to the doors?

Im gonna re tint mines and add moleskin, cause there are hella scratches on the tint.

He (Bruce) fed me the same line and my tint got scratched to shit within a couple of months. And I keep my car clean - at that time basically spotless.

When I went back I had to pay FULL PRICE for the re-tint PLUS the price for moleskin.

Go back NOW and get the moleskin added. Otherwise you're going to have the same problem I did and end up paying twice.

And, no, 'life time warranty' doesn't cover scratches, even when Bruce tells you, personally, you don't need the moleskin.

My fisheye coverage of Wrong Turn Fitment earlier this evening. As you can see, I am able to work much faster with this brand new vaio. Light years faster than the old one.

Also. Where I went today in VA, there were a bunch of yard sales. I bought something for $15. Guess what it was!

I am dissapoint. Didn't get a pic of that back CL beside the supra. Had a 3.5 with mdx parts under the hood. He said he's going to widen the fenders. Also had a purple bottle in the trunk.

Droppin' another photo bomb.

They keep building stuff around where I live. It's fuckin awesome. Found a brand new deck and went trigger happy.


















If you look at the small loading dock. I'm trying to find an elevated piece of pavement like that where I can get a car on the elevated part and one down below on the ground level. I think it would be a cool shot.










































Went to a retired acurazine members house today.








If anyone wants moar pics let me know. i fuckin love takin pics lol.
