It's raining pretty hard outside of DC. I look forward to turning off traction control on my way home.

I had philly rolls for lunch. They were good.

PatBateman and I were talking about buying boats. He wants a bass boat and a pontoon. I would be happier with a watersport boat, maybe like a 26 footer with a nice tow tower and bow seating.

What's on your mind, Opponauts?

Also in the DC area. Still raining pretty hard. I want to go hoon. I've been wanting to tint my windows (car lives outside, dark grey on black) for a while but I can't decide what % to go. VA law is 50% front 35% rear, but I wanna do 35% all around and a 70% on the windshield. Now I need to find a good tint shop.

Man, I love chicken tenders. That's a guilty pleasure of mine. I realize that it's child food, but some crispy chicken tenders with dank honey mustard is the truth. If you throw in some beer-battered french fries on the side, well, there's pretty much nothing I would rather eat. Except maybe a nice T-bone from Ruth's.

You know what Brian? This pub/grill right on my way home makes incredible tenders and fries, and I think I'm gonna stop on my way home and get some. Reward myself.

Thanks, Brian.

1995 F-150, so its a DIN install with a rear support. Also, since no factory amp or such, the harness connectors are dirt simple.

I still order those Metra harnesses, so I can solder the connections on my workbench and just plug it in. Reminder: I need heat shrink tubing.

I still have the factory speakers. Yes, it sucks, but I need a functioning radio before going to speaker land.

Shoot, you're lucky you don't have ol' Papa Mac, may he rest in peace, just a-itchin to take his belt to you. You don't know how good you have it.

She has mild vertigo so her doctor gave her an exemption waiver because "tints will help stop glare from asshats who tailgate with high beams on." Haha. She still hasn't tinted her car because she doesn't like how it looks tinted.

Go to an eye doctor and complain about glare while driving, especially if you wear glasses, they should be able to help you out.

Good point. I think I'll try the regular paint and if that starts to peel then I'll get myself to heat paint and go again. I actually don't have a Seat! I've got a Vauxhall Corsa, but people often fit the Cupra splitters to other makes. As mine is still a new car, there aren't many aftermarket parts available and the Seat splitter is the cleanest looking one around.
