I had to explain to some yahoo on how the A-10 really didn't drop a real world bomb in front of his wife. Then he went on to argue with me. What an idiot.

I watched half of the Blue Angels from my car to beat the traffic out of there on Sunday. To be honest the air show wasn't all that great... the acts were top notch and the static displays brought back great memories but I think it could have been started much earlier.

There needs to be a lot more afterburner as well. Get a couple F-16's with regular pilots and strict orders to waste as much gas a possible. THAT'S what I want to see... and that’s exactly what happened at Fleet Week in SF this last time. It was the best part of the show…

Damn, on my way to school today. I watched a Geo Metro with SVT COBRA... 4x4... Badges all over it, get cut off by a Mitsubishi Mirage, the Geo then locked up his brakes and slide sideway, went into a spin then flew across traffic into the curb, then back into the #1 lane and slam into a car(this was on sunrise right before highway50). The two cars hit at like 5-10mph.... The Geo swung out infront of me... pretty crazy watching it haha

Ya, I was driving the Camaro though, the Subby isn't back on the road yet. I need to spot weld the new upper radiator support on, and get the right bumper beam, because some incompetent shop on WRXFanatics sold me the wrong bumper beam

Did anyone go on Sunday, I was wondering if they had the parking exit figured out by then?
hahaha, i laugh at you. it took me like 30 seconds to get out of the parking lot, a 2 minute ride on the bus and about 2 minutes later i was driving home down a not crowded folsom blvd.

Paint a bumper beam?!? lol. The bumper still hasn't been painted, and I know not to trust anyone so I am TRYING to test fit the front bumper cover, problem is... the fender isn't straight(got smushed down), and then the Perrin bumper beam was bent backwards, so the bumper didn't exactly fit anymore LOL. So once I get the new bumper beam I will see if it fits, then get it painted...

Check this out... This guy is trying to blame it on me, saying that he told me it was a STOCK 04 STI bumper beam, instead of the Perrin one that I asked for...





I fail to see how it was my fault, and where I would be thinking he was sending me anything else BUT a Perrin bumper beam...

I went on Sunday. They had less traffic problems getting out on Sunday. From what I was told, they did not expect nearly as many people as they had on Saturday (~50,000), but they made adjustments for Sunday (another ~50,000).

Traffic didn't bother me one bit. I drove down Folsom Blvd. to the Light Rail Station at Mather & Folsom (Light Rail wasn't running out to Folsom until after 10AM) and took the shuttle bus in. On the way out, we had to wait for about 15 minutes while the buses got loaded to go back. They had two runs of 10 buses each with police escort to and from the station. We got on the bus and just blasted past all of the poor folks who parked at Mather. The cops blocked off the intersections all the way to the Light Rail Station and red lights had no meaning for our little convoy.

To be honest, while there were a mess of cars all merging to get out of the parking lots at the airfield, the street and freeway on ramps had no traffic at all.

Hmm this could be interesting... This weeks New Season 10 Episode 1 SouthPark:



The town is jolted out of a case of the doldrums when Chef suddenly reappears. While Stan, Kyle, Kenny and Cartman are thrilled to have their old friend back, they notice that something about chef seems different. When Chef’s strange behavior starts getting him in trouble, the boys pull out all the stops to save him.

I gotta thank UPS for breaking one of my Bilstein struts, don't understand how they could break a hardy piece as the strut, but it is, and I'm slightly pissed.
