Saw a sign in Kunia offering “Christian Tae Kwon Do Lessons”. Huh? What?

Does every KARA song sound exactly the same? Not 15-seconds into “Electric Boy” was I forced to change the station away from 97.1 KORL.
(0)It’s bad enough to have to listen to Dreams Come True (who I rabidly dislike) on 97.1, but to hear them mangle English with their horrible xmas song is the stink on the poop!
(0)Saw a black Nissan with “JZTY10” vanity plates. “Jizz Titan”? Okay, whatever, semen giant.
(1)Having a brand spaking new car, I’ve been fairly picky about finding parking, but sometimes lots are pretty full without much choice. Last night stopped by Hawaii Kai to pick up something to eat. Figured it was going to be fast so I picked a stall near far end, but not the very end. It was next to a nice BMW so I hopped less risk. Imagine my horror as I was walking back to my car, the BMW was gone, and some guy was attempting to pull into the end stall with some Buick/Chevy Centuryish thing of recent vintage. He was repeatedly bashing against the end curb trying to turn in, car bouncing around as it started to climb up. Thankfully he gave up, maybe because he saw me, and went to find another stall. Shake your head moments, like seeing a VW Beetle with scraped side. Makes you believe that people really do need back-up sensors on a Smart car.

It’s been a year since I got the E36/8 M Coupe. In that year, I’ve put about 7600 miles on it, and the fuel consumption has settled into the 19-20 MPG (8.1-8.5km/l, 12.4-11.8l/100km) range with occasional dips and peaks. The mileage is double what the Land Cruiser gets, but the M requires 91-octane, so the price-per-gallon is a little higher. For all intents and purposes, my fuel bill has been cut in half. Roughly, that 7600 miles works out to around 390 gallons at 19.5 MPG, which means about $1660 for the year with an average price per gallon of around $4.25. Continue reading ‘A Year on the M’
I keep hearing the ad on KORL 97.1 soliciting volunteer test subjects for an experimental vaccine for kafunshou. Kafunshou is japanese for hay fever. Anyway, is it only me who gets an odd gleeful reaction to hearing the word kafunshou and saying it? Kind of like the Beavis & Butthead reaction to Lake Titikaka!
Darned driving around with hooligans made my gasoline go away! Too much full throttle action. I even got the traction control light flash like an xmas tree turning onto Nimitz.
(1)Received my full custom drive shafts from The Drive Shaft Shop. I got the short side installed on Wednesday night. The long side was being stubborn so I got a heavier convincer and tried tonight. It ends up that no amount of convincing would work, the spring clip was jamming and now was mangled. I tried bending it back, but no good. Tried without the spring clip, of course it doesn’t work, one trip around the block and I’m dumping tranny oil out the seal. F! The rally FX will not be ready for tomorrows(todays) event, I work on swapping the rally tires onto the street FX. 1:30AM and its done. So much for my $800 shafts. I’ll have to get in touch with DSS and see if I can get a replacement retainer clip. Ugh, wake up in four hours!
