REAL TALK
I am deciphering my post now:
I got a PM from a MUD early this week about him coming down and wanting to ride, since I have not gotten the bike fixed yet I decided what the hell minds well take the car since its hot as fuck and I am a loser that has a new toy and want to get a dragon sticker in the wrx.
So after getting off work @ 5 am fri morning and waking up around noon I decided to head off to the cotton ball.
my route:
so it starts out fine, cars running good weather is nice, all is well.
about five miles out of Chattanooga traffic hits... hard
turns out there was a wreck in the middle lane and its about rush hour, so it was stop and wait traffic for an hour to cover 7 miles... FML
get past the traffic and its away we go, until i hit construction on 74, decide to get gas and get my milage i get and all time low of 16 mpg sitting in traffic, whats worse is I get 93 octane from Exxon, it turns out to be full of ethanol and makes the car run like shit when your pushing boost, so the entire way from 74 to the gap i was able to just barely give it hell and not really enjoy to its fullest felonious extent.
about 60 miles out i noticed in the reflection in the car infront of me that my headlights are not on, WTF
so I booked it to DGMR before the sun went down, and pulled open the hood, the HID power wires have two 15A fuses that were blown, so i went in and took it up the ass, err spent $2.13 for two small blade fuses and replaced them, the lights fired and .. wait, what the fuck, why are the lights on the cars turned off! hmm whats that smoking doin... shit! pulled the fuse but not before it blew and what the fuck was smoking.. oh wait i know...
its this little fucker:
so not to be too down about it i looked at the clock and it was 7:16 and i knew the road closed soon so with one head light i pulled out and started my dragon run
only to be stopped at the state line and was told that the road was closed and they had started the sweep back, FML
the cop was kind enough to tell me I had a light out, i was thankful for his keen observation and even more thankful for his not giving me a ticket even though i knew i was pushing my luck, so i went back to the lot and waited on Mud, about 20 mins later i see a blue blur and if it wasnt his wolverine loving R6.
went and had dinner, shot the shit and came back and worked on the head lights and figured out what the fuck was going on, turns out the hi/lo series controller went up in smoke, when they call them tuning cars they are not fucking around, your always fixing something, I am quickly becoming the strongest proponent for keeping shit stock
but I had a great clean ride home with the roads completely barren and nothing infront of me the entire way home on 129/64... until 74 and that cop that was not a fan of my peediddle look
I got pulled over for the second time in 24 hours with this fucking thing, first time was 4:55am on my way home from work and he was like slow down dont be doing 60-70 here... I was doing 42 in a 35 wtf
so back to last night, i pull out my wallet and my DL is no where to be found, he says got any id? i pull out my teachers ID card from MTSU and tell him its all i got and my papers are in the back seat, told him why the light was out and showed him my blown fuses, he let me go without a warning and just said be safe, pretty cool, two times pulled over, two times no tickets, lets knock on wood
in the end, I got some good driving in (600 miles and averaged 20.14 mpg) and got to see a old friend.
got in around 4am and was off to sleep
Now on to the pix (which is the only part marko will see)
close up of the good stuff:
