Well, I do enjoy looking at an overexposed image of a mid-size wrist complemented with a nice knitted looking sleeve (nice choice of color BTW - it really brings out the "Auto" color and yet so classy).

But yes, show us your palm please.

A dumb update.

Someone opened my sunroof this weekend and it didn't shut. It happens sometimes, so I didn't care, but this time it just wouldn't shut after hours of trying. So I took the sunroof control out and found this.



Blurry, but you can see how one contact has completely melted in half. SO I mcgyver'd the **** out of it and came up with this!



Tin foil FTW! Except it didn't fix my problem. Wtf. I had to pull the sunroof closed, which was great until I got out of my car and found this.



It won't completely go up. I've pushed and pushed and it moves but doesn't stay. I hate it, I don't even use my sunroof and now it's broken. I can't tell if it's fallen off the tracks or what, but for awhile it would almost shut on its own, but then go back. I think it has to do with the contacts? Maybe I should clean them. I hate my car lately.

I bought this today but haven't installed it yet, I'm lazy and it's dark.



I wonder how it's going to sound... o_0

Winter mode soon. Not happy.

Want.

That horn sounds like a high tone, I have the low tone. I should just get air horns, you're right.

you do know that you should have a hex screw thingy in the fusebox cover to manually close the sunroof right?

when you go air, hook up a train horn : D

This. That little plastic flap in the headliner is for manually closing the sunroof.

I hope this is a hint towards what you're doing once you're finally on air

Ah, I couldn't remember where it was, mainly because it's covered by my suede.

I guess I'll have to cut my headliner.

Nick Advanced/Autozone should have a small airhorn that runs the same price as the blaster. Our motorcycle club loves the blaster but when I found this, it was all over! It's same size as the blaster and everything just when someone comes in your lane it makes then feel like a mac truck is there not a motorcycle!
