All of a sudden, I found myself in love with the world, so there was only one thing I could do:
was ding a ding dang, my dang a long racecar.

It's a love affair. Mainly jebus, and my racecar.

Somebody stole our credit card info. They bought a bunch of stuff online, fortunately triggering a fraud alert: five RockAuto orders (total: ~$1,250), and a WeatherTech order (~$275).

It couldn't have been the used car lot where I used this card to buy the Fit last week, right? Because nobody's that stupid.

Right?

Hit any gas stations recently? Bluetooth skimmers are still a huge issue. But yeah, that order sounds like a car lot or a mechanic.

They don't have to use the façade type skimmers, they actually open the pump with a commonly available key and just plug the skimmer between the card reader and the computer.

That and bluetooth readers have gotten smaller, some of the skimmers are small enough they can be inserted into the card slot itself with ease.

BITTER POOR PERSON
I'm now the proud owner of a 2006 Ford Fusion with 160k on the clock and which started life as a rental car. $800 with tax & (clear) title :getin:

And with rod knock, but that's OK because I'm swapping the 2.3 out of my wife's previous previous car (an '03 6) which ironically started life as a Fusion engine - from the head down its pretty much identical, only major difference is the VCT ring on the exhaust cam. Only thing I'm really worried about is the transmission, but they're plentiful in salvage yards with relatively low miles if it shits itself.

The best is still double all meats available, double all cheeses available, bbq sauce, black olives, and green peppers though. My former coworkers at my last job were absolutely certain I was high as a kite the first time I ordered that.

Unfortunately, I'm working full time and making more than I would be doing my degree. Having a kid, a mortgage, and a full time Development job is sucking my time up. I do want to finish it, but it's not going to help me right now, although I want to finish it.

Gonna be honest, removing the pop ups makes that thing look worse for me but I appreciate how much fun that probably is to hoon around...

Nice job of remodeling the front end, though. If I'm not mistaken, that's an '80s Toyota pickup grill in there. I could be wrong - I want to say that some base model Celicas had fixed lights to begin with.
