Settling Down?…Well…maybe

Posted by webmaster On April - 7 - 2005

After the federal government finally made up its everloving, skeevy-hearted, greedy thieving mind, and sent me the forms I needed to pay the government what it takes at gun point, I came to the conclusion that it was time to make a change. Photos will come soon, to more or less give you a visual to my journey/experience. Suffice it to say that I moved into an apartment and moved my stuff out of storage. It was an endeavor not without its toil and trials, and equal parts of both. But thanks to my brother and some manpower help from a friend, we were able to successfully complete the task. Whew…..more to come…

Boo Is All Bettuh! Airbag Fault and Tweetuh Fixed!

Posted by webmaster On March - 17 - 2005

Well, getting my BooBlue fixed was an ordeal. But in true excellent fashion, Terry VW came through once again! I am so lucky to have access to the tech team and Terry.

As many of you will recall, Boo (Blue) developed a glitch in his brain that conveyed some false data, stating that the airbags had deployed. More than being a nuisance, this is dangerous. For if I were to have an accident, the airbags might likely fail to deploy at all. So this was a must fix.

In addition, another problem crept up this week. While vacuuming out Blue a few days ago, I noticed the music that was piping through the front speakers of the front doors sounded strange and uneven; louder on one side than the other. Upon further inspection, it became clear that the left front tweeter was not working, which naturally resulted in the lack of frequency balance. In fact, the tweeter may never have been working at all, even from the day the car was built! I just never noticed it before, because I had nothing to compare the stock sound to.

Snow, My Tweeter Is Broke and Lynchburg Is The Same

Posted by webmaster On March - 16 - 2005

Well, it is Wednesday. I am still here in Lynchburg as my parts (for Blue) did not arrive yet. It is OK though. It has been a nice time for reflection. I will meet Jay Roberts for breakfast today if all goes as planned. This is getting quite frustrating, but I am sure it will work out.

In the meantime, one more breakfast at Day Break. Yum!

By the way, one of Boo’s little tweeters is broken. Sheez! Thank goodness for warranties.
