Updates (Car, Cons, Etc.)

Wednesday, May 28th, 2008

A-Kon 19 starts Friday. The plan is to leave around 7am Friday. We return late Sunday. Will have lots of updating to do after this weekend.

I got my self a new car yesterday. After selling off the ole Monte Carlo and procuring some other funds, I was able to nab a 1999 Pontiac Grand Prix GT Coupe. It’s got almost all the options available at the time, Leather, Heated Seats, Sunroof, Etc. It came with a 3 year old Pioneer HU that I am not really fond of. I’ll get a new one some day. The factory speakers don’t sound too bad so far so we’ll wait and see about replacing them. I installed my 12″ Kicker Comp VR 400w RMS sub and Pioneer 380w RMS amp this evening. Blew a 100A fuse when my power cable got crushed by my door. I’ll have to find a new way to run that cable. I also have to finish putting the pieces back together for my side panels and such. And the car diagnostics display went out when I was putting the dash back on. The buttons still work and light up but the display is blank now. Might have to get a new one of those. Boo.

To keep from typing 1000 more words about it, I’ll leave you with this:

PS INDY 4 was decent. Cheesy but decent.
