Random thoughts for the day

NAH, I don't care about that crap.

I can't compete with Mike -- he pretty much owns it as the top SHO here.

I'm like that man; BATMAN!

Now I'm shopping freaking LED's -- wanting to replace my interior lights and license plate lights.

The LED's in the interior are awesome...but don't forget to do the vanity lights in the mirrors on the sun visors.  Oh, and also LED's in the puddle lights.
 
I have to stop racing the damn mosquito's!

I can't seem to keep my foot off the pedal at lights, random, stop signs, powersliding around corners, etc.

The car is too damn much fun! I found out with the PP and disabling advancetrac; I can now successfully drift her around corners. I need someone to record me doing it now LOL.
 
GAH.

I used to smoke -- finally kicked the habit in February 2013 after getting Pneumonia.

As a result -- I have some pretty ugly teeth; I hardly smile because of it.

I decided to give these Crest 3D White Intensive Professional Effects a try. It's basically 7 days for 2 hours a day -- cost me $65 bucks for box.

OMG it sucks; I'm doing the first one and few things -- I can't stop spitting and I got 1-1/2 hours left. The stupid things don't cover my whole mouth; just front portion.

I think I may just go to dentist and pay the $500 bucks for the whole mouth tray deal where they impression your entire mouth and then give you the peroxide based (basically what I'm using now).

LETS see what happen; just wish I'd stop spitting; ugh
 
It's starting to grow on me now -- after first hour it's not that bad.

I think I will see a dentist though because I rather have a full face bleaching than just my front portion you see when smiling.

Lesson; don't f...... smoke LOL -- if you do, brush like 5 times day because apparently the "two per day" don't do jack squat! At least it didn't for me.
 
Very frustrated and ticked off.  I got my Oval overlays and steering wheel emblem today.  Although the oval overlays looked real good, I can not use them.  The raised Ford lettering shows through too strongly.  So scratch that idea.  I guess the only way to get them right is like what Mike did.  Take them apart and have them painted.  No money for that right now.  So, it's Blue Ovals for now.  The steering wheel emblem, sized to fit the whole indent doesn't look as good as the smaller one with the silver ring showing.  That one showed the blue on the vertical lip of the factory emblem around the edge.  Now, I might not be able to go back to stock because I think the Ford was printed on.  I didn't look close enough but it looks like I might have pulled some of it off with the old emblem overlay.  And, there still might be the slightest hint of blue around the edge.  I'm going to go back out later and take a real good look at it.  If I can clean it up, I just might leave it stock for now.

Too bad ......sometimes projects turn out to be a lot tougher than they should be. 
 
Alright!  Got the steering wheel emblem overlay off and cleaned up the adhesive.  Looks like new.  Waxed the front emblem from trying out the overlay.  Check.  The only thing not stock from factory on the exterior is the hub overlays.  They look great.  No mods to the interior other than my IPASS.  Clean slate.   
 
You know what it's like to have your teeth hurt -- by light, air, breathing, cold, hot. I'm not talking about a tooth ache! I'm talking about straight bleach/peroxide gel soaking that is what they call "Teeth Whitening".

It's not so much fun, but damn if it ain't worth it! I'm on day 3 and I already see a HUGE difference -- coming from guy who smoked like freight train and had yellow teeth.
 
Geswek - sorry to hear your teeth hurt, but its encouraging that you like the whitening.
My teeth have hurt ever since 7th grade when I got braces. That experience has made me an anti-dentite for sure!  That first orthodontist really was a sadist - he would ask if my teeth hurt after the monthly tightening, and when I would say yes (he saw me white knuckling the chair)... He would always say "good."  I now use toothpaste with a sensitivity ingredient- it helps, and I do notice my teeth hurt if I miss a brushing. Maybe something like that could help you through the process?
 
DJE: I'm glad to hear your wheel is looking great, but also sorry to hear of the decal issues. I wonder how much it would cost to hire a college art student to paint the emblem and sneek it into the kiln at school?  Just a thought, and prolly way off, since I have no idea what kind of paint or process is needed.
I think I might just pony up and buy a new one for my SHO, since I haven't heard of any new emblems having the same problems.

OOH; I don't think they hurt THAT bad--but its enough to feel it.

Though it's worth it in the end my friend. To have pearly whites staring at me in mirror makes me happy.
