Progress has been slower than I'd like today. Wife and I have unofficially sort of adopted a family we met in Ecfe and predictably, they've needed help. Their son is autistic, about 6 months older than mine, doesn't have a lot of friends. They wanted us to come over and play, totally cool. However, mime has chosen today as the day to try and kill me. So, that hasn't happened yet. The dad in their situation is completely berkeleying useless, mom is totally overwhelmed, and I'm left holding the bag here because my wife went bleeding heart on the deal. In any evrnt- The ruler and dollar are there to give you a sense.of.scale, and to show you how much money I have. For those wanting a 3" sticker, this is what a 3" sticker looks like. I can attempt to have it cut, but its probably not going to go well. Its been my.experience that anything less than about 3mm wide tends to turn into a E36 M3show from a line standpoint in all but the highest end cutters. Even then, application, weeding, etc is a real bear. I might try and scale it up some for a separate logo.... At this point I might have to drop it from the script sticker unless scaling the whole thing up.makes it better.

So, more updates. I may be pushing up the wiring thing faster than I'd like to, due to something I discovered this evening. She'll chew a battery to dead in about 10min on aux. Now this was the 40$ repop I got in Indy, but something ain't right. On the plus side, asked a couple of kids coming out of chipotle for a jump and one had a mk2 jetta, and the other had a Volvo 740 wagon, that he clearly loved and drove the E36 M3 out of. Both were equally mystified to find out miyuki was a long roof. What I'm learning is that they're so oddball out here, that everyone assumes its a sedan as soon as they see the nose. Freaks people out. Dudes were into it though, so maybe there is hope for this generation.

I was talking to a couple of kids at autocross the other week who were digging the V wagon. They said something about it being the only cool wagon. A friend and I immediately countered with the V70R. They knew what it was and said "Ewwww". I wept for their ignorance.

Wait so which side of the generation gap am I on? my obsession with wagons started with a certain rusty ej22 powered Subi legacy that absolutely trounced the novice class at the local mowog events. Super cool guy a couple years younger than me.

You're not a flatbiller. You fall on my side.

Oh hey weird. I was sober and my kid was asleep long enough to do this. It's inked and ready to rock. Thoughts?

Also, I hate to admit it, but I already have idea #2 on deck... "Errand Slayers"

I would put that on the V wagon. Absolutely.
I think the bag logo needs a baguette or two sticking out the top. I want a hoodie with that on the back.

So, we're starting on Errand Slayers. I don't know why. I DO find it sort of theraputic to sit at my desk and drink beers and draw stupid things for my car. I've actually already changed the E somewhat, but whatever. my desk has a beer holder! (I ran out of grain belt. I would have bought a case, but I was out of room in the fridge. I'm not anymore).

Zippie of course. You think I'm some crazy kid who wants to show off my abs when taking off my jacket? I'll leave my belly hair as an unseen mystery thank you very much.

Dude, put it on the Sx4! Cheese will be cool with it.

Deuce, and anyone else involved, I have a hoodie printer on deck. Depending on my mood and my liquor intake, I may have the final graphic done for that tonight and over to him. These might actually get done faster than the stickers.

My wife saw these and wants to put them on her new (to us) Odyssey. Which, by the way, she has demanded that I lower and put black +1-sized wheels upon (it is white).... If this all comes to fruition, I may even want to drive it...occasionally.

That is awesome! This makes me want to buy a wagon now.....

Question: I wear a flatbill when not at work and give no berkeleys what people think, but wear a shirt and a tie every day for work. Where does that put me??

You don't act like a flatbiller. I get to give you E36 M3, but you get a pass. Plus my kid likes you.

Every time I go to the grocery store, I miss the Toyolla. The joke around my house was that Miyuki would get "jealous" if another one of the cars went to the grocery store, especially the Mustang.

My vote for your wiring issue is the battery. I had zero issues listening to music for an hour or more on AUX with no problems starting the car afterwards.

Probably. Battery was the cheapest effing thing I could get.to start the car. Woulda done it with a mower battery if I could have.
