not much actually. was a suuuper busy day at work so now i got a headache
and want to just lay down a little while.

it's going to rain and t-storm the next few days as scheduled so i guess no
detailing, but i do plan on pulling out either my G or MINI tomorrow morning
before it rains.

i should have my jar of clay by next week...so hopefully i can get some detailing
done next weekend.

If you're going 15s again the light colors look the best solid pefered. White mugens rays or look alikes. The dark rims look really small to much tire. The polished lips look even smaller. Just my opinion though. Happy searching!!

Yah, I think I might just paint my slips. They are royal gunmetal. First I'm not real fond of the shape (looked decent at the store before install..) And the gunmetal is like a brown hue. My car is silver so needed more like a graphite. My previous DR21's looked pretty good.

Naw, maybe it if was my only car. I think I might look into some XXR oldskool 16's.

hahaha. yah, i bought it last year. it's one of the smaller ones with THE BALL version.
i have a lot of tight areas and it works very well. i forgot which model it was but
the suction rating is pretty high.

Mine is an Animal. I got it b/c we got a dog and because I love the color purple. It's so cool to empty all that junk out of the cannister. And I like the way the parts fit together, it reminds me of Lego.

"Dyson never loses suction". I have the handheld for the bathrooms and kitchen. best small handheld I've ever own to bad it can't suck up water.

Dyson is a genius. Have you ever used the hand-dryers he invented for public restrooms? I used one at the London Eye and my hands were dry before I finished exclaiming "WOW is that powerful!" You stick your hands between two planes and whoosh! dry hands.

His stuff works.

We should ask Dyson to make us a turbo with an air cleaner that never clogs.

yah, and Dysons are very durable too. ok, so i admit, im not
very nice to my vacuumes. i use quite a bit of speed and
force at times to move some furniture that gets into the way.
mines all scratched up from my violent(?) use but works like
a charm. it looks like that little robot from the movie walle.

the only thing i dont like about my Dyson is that filter you need
to wash every 3 months or something. it takes FOREVER to
dry completely. pretty soon im going to get another one.

driving to work. KIA Soul. WTF is with that clown mobile??!! LOL!

i was like OH MY.... then couldn't stop laughing.

at the same interesection i saw a 09 FitS and a
previous model Cooper. i have to say KIA made a
terrible mistake making the Soul. it doesn't even come
close to its competition as far as appearance goes for
small 'cool' cars.

Dude, where IS that filter??? I can't find anything like that, maybe mine got left out or something....Is it the part with holes in it?? I'm a dummy mechanically.

on my vac there's 2 filters I need to clean. one's inside
the BALL itself and i think the other one was in the
trash collector canister area (bottom side). check your 'quick start'
owner's manual if yours have that too.

I always laugh at the Kia commerical, "Kia has this, Corolla doesn't..." blah blah blah - if I were Toyota I'd make the rebuttal...

"Kia Spectra...is a Kia...and Corolla isn't!"

yah, i agree. except, i hate corolla's!


you have to see the Soul in person. this is the first
car that ive seen where the actual car looks much worse
than the pictures. especially the red one.

I haven't seen any yet. Saw a Cube a while back, it was the shits.

Yeah, Corollas are crappy nowdays, all plastic and cheap, thanks to the CAFE standards they took out all the good material and put in more plastic. I drove one before I went back to the Fit. Hubby just didn't want me to be a Honda driver, I guess, kept pointing me back to Toyota! I won that one! Yay me!

p.s. I found the filter in my Dyson, I had forgotten where it was. It wasn't dirty - does yours look dirty when you wash it?
