------------------------------------------------------------------------X

the rest of the shit I own is up for sale, if you want somthing let me know,!

I got a paintball gun, sega saturn, gamecube, atari 2600, gameboy color, gameboy, i think I have a dreamcast floating around, i also have a ps1, very very nice pool stick, keyboard, Yoda Force FX Light Saber and alot of other stuff I am forgetting about. also little things like posters and figures. Most of my stuff is nerd stuff and collectable or whatever, and then there are all my art supplies, those are up for sale to. I am going to toss out whatever i can't sell.

also a 1981 Volkswagon Rabbit Pickup Truck (yes it runs)

My new gear

, , , ...

is actually still R - 4. just now I do it manually (ladies? :wink: ).

Lets start at the start: I got a 1980 VW Rabbit Pickup (man they are sweet rides) but they were also manual. Wich now is no problem seeing as how within 15 minutes I mastered it to aroun 85% perfection. There is still some mechanical problems with the vehicle, as well as a clutch adjustment, but I don't jerk the whole thing around at all like most first timers do (ladies? :wink: )

When this truck is all good parts and connected good parts, I think this truck will be my vehicular true love. I f I never have problems with it, this truck will be fully restored/updated or whatever to awesome new-car status.

Prizm Rabbit 650

, , ,

step1:
In the recent quest of life I found myself pissed at a man who gave me 3 days to get $500 and buy a motorcycle from him last week. Within the first day I got the money and he had already sold it.

pissed - he pulled a winslow on me

Step2:
2 days ago my prizm wouldnt start as I got off work. dead battery I thought to myself, but why wouldnt a jump work? - it should, the battery must be fine, and the problem is now unidentifiable to me. pissed, frustrated, and wanting to go home I busted the turn signal lever that houses the lights, so I would never leave the lights on again out of habit.

Step3:
With the car still parked at work I find out that a good working volkswagon rabbit (truck style) is looking for an owner at $500.

moment of clarity

taking the $5 out of the bank leaves me with $2 in the bank. my ass is saved due to a winslow against me. had i let $5 slip on the bike, i would only have $2 to spend on a truck that costs $5.

but with 3 days till ny and 2 of the 3 being weekend, I have to step up to the challenge and repair the prizm to sell to a friend for $4 for my NY trip, as well as get to a shop that promissed to sell this before i get back from my trip if i cant get it now. - problem is, they are open on the weekdays. so i have one weekday to pick up the pick-up without any ride to get there.

solution: find a ride
problem: I don't know stick

So in a style much like jackie chan jumping over a train simultaiously kicking a bucket at a foe while grabbing a rope to get dragged and hurting the ass a bit cause of a cactus and comming out on top, just i have cactus spines in the bum. --- I will attempt a weekend of quick complexitized balancing and juggling.
