took the R for a cruise down the dragon
me n heather (my fiance) went cruisin on my day off. the day got off to a rough start, when the car died on the interstate halfway there. turned out to be the main ignition fuse, which i had blown a couple weeks ago installing the new alarm, and just "fixed" it with some solder, which, by the way, obviously doesn't like to bridge gaps in 40A fuses 
luckily a helpful DOT guy (wearin a Deal's Gap shirt, he even also worked for the dragon rescue crew, thought that was kinda crazy) stopped and lent us a phillips head, or we'd be screwed. i stripped some spare wire, wound it up, and smashed it into the ignition fuse, then snapped the cap back on. fired up on the second try (had to do some small adjustin on the wire). drove it carefully to autozone and permanently fixed the problem.
finally, only an hour of downtime later, we were back headed towards hwy 129. luckily it was a nice day (i tried to drive it a week ago and it started **** pouring rain, and i don't have windshield wipers ,and damn thats a curvy-*** road with 80-ft cliff dropoffs, lol) so we hit the curves. fun stuff. here's some of the killboy pics, sorry for the poor quality, i can't afford the hi res prints
anyways, on with the pics:
that road will make you love your itr

Re: took the R for a cruise down the dragon
This car shouldn't exist the builder/owner who built it has no idea what in the hell he is doing, the only one at Autolabz that new what he was doing was Lawnmower. All he did was screw crap up and then charge you to fix what he screwed up. So as Karma goes, you will get what is coming to you eventually!
