The driver side exterior door handle had a nut come loose and fall off of it's stud. I fished the nut out from the bottom of the door and reinstalled it.
The driver side seat belt latch has been not wanting to fasten. I used the compressor to blow out the crud and then lubed it with Tri-Flow. Works great now!
All of the dome lights died. Factory Toshiba 8 Watt bulbs **** the bed. I replaced those with 10 Watt from Walmart and damn are they expensive!
$6 for two bulbs!!!

I wanted to get a steel oem rim to replace my bent front left (Driver side) Rim
So I went to the junk yard and found me one .. They gave a good deal on it
when I went to install it I found out that it was 14 and not 15 I have EX and maybe thats why...
My next project is the Transmission Cooler and filter..

Charged my Optima yellow top, replaced my alternator, replaced the alternator/AC belt, and replaced the power steering belt.
Driving home from school last night, left the parking garage with my VAFC-II reading 11.1-11.3 volts. By the time I got home, I had no exterior lights, no instrumentation other than RPMs and voltage on my VAFC-II, which was cutting in and out, reading 8.0-8.2 volts, and even my AEM wideband gauge with no power. I wonder how she even got home.

new one works fine. I had the problems Wednesday night, dumbass me figured it was maintaining voltage, albeit low, and drove to school Thursday. I really had no other way to get to school though. I didn't get to ripping apart my engine bay until last night, and got the new parts and installed them today.

I was reading sticker that told me 25 cents a litre + 13% tax goes to the government ... gas really only costs around 90 cents a litre. I WISH. I hate taxes.

...I've never had my windshield wipers freeze to the glass and I don't put them up.
Taxes here are over $0.50 a liter I think, I don't pay much attention. Gas taxes are actually a pretty accurate way of levying road maintenance since it proportionally charges individuals based on their usage.
