As I figured, defaulting the BIOS settings was a bad idea - too bad not doing it during the update screwed something up. After mucking around a bit I looked at the Boot Order and sure enough, the BIOS defaulted to my Maxtor HDD (no OS) rather than the HD Raptor HDD (has OS) because the Maxtor is ho…

So I got up at 7:30 this morning to get to DMV early like I said I would and got all my title and registration taken care of. I wanted to get personalized plates saying DREWCFR but I have to send a form to Trenton and it takes 4-6 weeks, but then they credit me for the normal plates so that's cool.…

So this time everything went pretty much as planned - I got up early, got to the bank and was immediately able to sit down with Damon, my loan officer, and start the closing process. Since my dad needed to co-sign the loan and he's always busy at work, we had to transfer the papers over to the bran…

I dragged myself outta bed at the ungodly hour of 8:30 so I could get to the bank by 9am and get the loan process started. Well I made it, but it seems my loan officer decided to become ill or something and not show for work. Did I give him permission to become ill? No. Bastard.

So oh well, th…

So today was the memorial service for my friend Jon, who died almost two weeks ago in a freak gymnastics accident (more on that later). The service was held at Jonas Gymnastics, where he worked and where the accident took place. It's hard to have to keep saying good bye to someone - f…

So I went today to Linden to check out the 04 and wasn't too pleased with what I saw. It was def a nice car, the rims were hot - 3 peice with black spokes and chrome rim, but that was about it. The body had some rubs and slight scratches - barely noticeable but I'm a stickler for such things. The i…

So I finally set up my Gamer account in XP. I have a separate user account that I use to play games, because my main account loads up a whole bunch of apps and utilities that I simply don't need hogging up my memory while I'm playing a game. I also disable all wallpapers and strip the XP theme. Bar…

So that's the car I went to check out today, and I must say I was very pleased with what I saw. The owner, Dan, was recently divorced and so was looking to sell a lot of his toys for some money - he also had a restored 240Z, two bikes, a truck with a boat on a trailer, and his daily driver. I gave …

So I called up both owners of the 350Zs that I had found last nite and both cars are still up for sale - whoo hoo! Tomorrow I'm heading over to check out the 03, and Saturday I'm heading out to look at the 04. I definetly have my eye on the 04 but the 03 is certainly a decent fall-back car. So I'll…

So it's been over a month since I totaled my Tiburon GT and I still haven't found a new car, although it's been really hard finding time to search since I first had to wait to pay off the auto loan for the Tib, which cleared at the start of this month, and then before I had a chanc…
