Birthday, MyKey & Speeding Cop.

Well I've been busy the last few days, my birthday being Sunday and everything, so no new pages have been updated.

Anyway, the Mx-3 meet turned out great! Several Mx-3's, two 323's an an Xterra. Ironicly, there even happen to be a Nissan Maxima meet in the same lot after we came out of Boston Pizza. Thanks to everyone who came! The weather was nice, could of been better, but it's hard to remember it's actually still February. The nice weather has started to get me anxious to start working on the Mx-3, even paid her a visit today dropping off a hatch garnish I just got. But with the nice weather, I'll have to take advantage of it to work on the Xterra. It's got a a knock sensor code, which is typical of them to fail, so it's causing fairly bad fuel milleage, so I'll be looking at going a mod to put on I believe would be one for a Maxima, and relocating it to a much more accessable spot. It also got a good wash yesterday, and man did it need it!

A bit of news. A cop got pulled over and lost her license for doing 165km/h on the 403. Her license has been suspended for a week and her undercover cruiser has been impounded. Glad they're being inforced even with police officers, but they should be professional enough to know they're not above the law.

Also, Ford is coming out with it's MyKey system in their Focus for 2010. It was a system introduced in October last year. It's key that can be programmed to set vehicle restrictions on speed, and even muting the music until the seatbelt is connected. Should help younger drivers stay responsible.

We've been having alot of stray cats around the house, and we were talking about cats not hiding in engine bays in the cold weather like they used to, well apparently one family's cat hid in their engine bay and went along with them for an hour and a half ride. The cat was not harmed.

Oh, and to edit in something else....if you're hardcore into racing games, and I mean HARDCORE, check out this racing wheel! Wrapped in leather, fluid damping system, 1000 points of tracking, all for a cheap $1300.

GM also announced, which I'm sure you've heard, is letting go another 10'000 jobs world wide. And on the day that the US Senate released the US bail-out plan, the DOW jones dropped 382 points. Oil is also under $38 a barrel, in which we should wonder why gas is still floating around $0.80/L. We should be around 50-60cents, but I'm sure they can get away with it, considering that the populus is happy with 80 cents rather than a $1.30.
