I got a chuckle out of your NM vanity plate in the window. Rep that 505!

I used Start8 by them on Windows 8, and it’s awesome. I would imagine Start10 will be the same. That being said, I don’t think there’s as much of a need for this in Win10. You can slim down the default start menu to be very much like those from 7 and earlier.

It would definitely stand out from the crowd.

Drive the damn manuals before the robots take our keys away from us.

My STI has a hydraulic rack on it. I don’t have any other performance cars to compare it to, but I think it’s very well done. Turning is easy, but you get some nice feedback.

I’m already working out a roadtrip from NM to California sometime this upcoming spring/summer. The main target is the PCH, but I want to hit some fun roads in Cali, and then loop around through Utah/Colorado and back into NM.

The dealership I bought my STI from apparently has had things like this happen in the past (although not to this extent). As part of the dealer prep on all of their new cars, they put a set of wheel locks on. The good news is that everybody who buys a car fom them gets a set of wheel locks.

I have two. I wanted a Dart when they first came out. I moved on pretty quickly, but I did take a ride in one about a year ago. They’re cheap, small, and crappily built.

Man, I had a ‘96 Eddie Bauer F150. Damn thing had carpet in it. Terrible for mudbogging and work. Damn good truck though otherwise. I miss it so much.

So, funny story about this song. He actually wrote it to get out of a record contract.

I got an FHA loan back in August of 2012. I knew what I could afford for a house, but it just wasn’t feasible at the time. The FHA loan made it possible to get a house that I could afford in a nice neighborhood. Now I’ve got a much better job and I’m working on paying off enough of the current loan plus saving up some…

I’ve only had my STI for 3 months, but I grin like a jackass every time I look at it. It’s amazing how a car can change your perspective on things. It makes driving, even in crappy city traffic, so much better.

Don’t underestimate the power of big money developers and morons. They’ll bitch about the track, they’ll bitch about the prison, and they’ll bitch about the dump. Keep in mind that the proposed Santolina development will actually include Sandia Speedway within its boundaries.

And now we’ve got those idiots pushing for Santolina out on the west end of town. If that goes through I’m sure we’ll get idiots bitching about the racetrack out there and trying to get it shut down.

Fuckin’ Mesa Del Sol man. Those guys suck ass.

Actually, if you think about it, they do go away. Well, not necessarily the air that carried them, but definitely the fart particulate (farticulate?). There are filters that scrub the air in the space station, thus trapping the farticulate. Then when the filters are swapped out, the old ones are disposed of. Thus all…

Not a bad start, but we’ve gotta make some changes here.

I’m always so torn about new technologies like this on cars. I swore up and down that a rear view camera was dumb on cars. Now that I have one on my car, I’ve come to like having it. Most of the time I still backup without the camera, but now I can use it for the places where I can’t see.

In this particular scenario I…

I get about 19 in my STI. I’ll own this car until it falls apart in a rusted heap (a long time here in New Mexico).

Every smart meter I’ve come across does nothing more than transmit a signal that has usage information in it. The thing that makes them smart is that you don’t have to walk up to each and every one and read a number off of it. You just walk or drive around and the meter reader’s machine will pick up each signal,…
