The Long Awaited: The Myth, The Legend, The Douchebaggery

[SlimKlim]

The first weekend I turned my attention to the biggest issue. The lack of iPod compatibility. A cool $270 later, I had a half decent Kenwood ripe for the installing.



Then, the headliner getting in my hair became a nuisance, and I picked up some fabrics to solve my problems.









Now I that I'd fuzzled around with the completely unimportant stuff, it was time to get some stuff fixed. I ordered a set of cheap all season tires because I had disillusions of replacing the wheels, and had the shop I was working at attack the main mechanical problems I listed above. I received my first bill a week after buying the car for almost $1200.

Let's recap, $7000+$230 to register+$270 for a head unit+$1200 for tires and repairs, cheap car? Rut-roh.

After all that was done I set about removing the old tint, which is a horrible, grueling, disgusting job. I took a wallpaper steamer and climbed in the back of the car, getting the tint hot and moist and pulling it down from the window.



Then I wanted some throatyness, but was too cheap to buy an intake, my buddy from Bimmerfest.com used to use a 3in aluminum tube, so I had him send it to me and fashioned a bracket for it.



I'm sure I fooled around with more stuff, but I can't remember it all now. I gave it a good deep cleaning and got ready to come up to JMU.
