Drove her a few miles because she's been sitting while I've been putting miles on my truck. I forget how fast my T/A is compared to my S10 sometimes. Nothing like a little adrenaline-soaked reminder!

Began the process of installing a subwoofer, because four aftermarket 6 1/2 inch Polypropoline (spelling?) speakers just don't quite cut it...

Not going getto or anything, just trying to hear what Billy Sheehan, Chris Squire, or Getty Lee are doing.

Had to move my methanol tank to make room.

^^specs? I gave her a bath, checked out the fresh tint, put a command strip dot on the glove box lid so the light goes out, and contemplated putting a sticker on the car that was given to me by the shop who did my custom vinyl birds and window tint.
