Default Ahhhhh

I woke up this morning and it was a wonderful day I woke up nice and early, so i had plenty of time to take a shower, and have some breakfast before work. Started up the Z (nice open cutout made me smile) and started driving down the road. Had the radio on and it was getting a little toasty so i decided to kick on the A/C. As soon as i clicked it on, i hear a very loud crack over the radio which i had turned up fairly loud. I look up and just as i assumed, there, right in the middle of the dash is a huge crack running all the way from the front to the back of the dash
Now im pissed just thought id rant
I need a beer

I'm the same.

I have said it before, and said it again, these cars aren't for everyone. Somethings you simply have to overlook, ignore or forgive. Sometimes something would happen and it would get me ticked enough to want to abuse the car. After a few WOT runs, I realized I had forgotten gas is now over $4/gal. So I stop.
