Smile: I have properly working wheels again. So 2/3, no wait, more like 3/4 of my vehicle issues are now gone. I'll probably make a thread with pictures, or add to find of the day tomorrow when I can take pictures in the light. Together with ModMan, we shall overtake the world with hatchback power! :D

Ticked: Well, my bank account is quite a bit lighter now. :lol:

Smile: I played The Red Star on PS2 for the first time today. Racket, your inclusion of it in the hidden gems list couldn't have been more spot on. This is one of the best modern old school games I've played. A friend and I (one who used to join me in Guardian Heroes run-throughs multiple times a day before I was forced to sell my Saturn collection) just got done playing TRS for about 3.5 hours without break. We were both amazed. It's just... So good!

Frown: I had to work for 8 hours today. I work at Wal-Mart. Do the math :x :(

Smiled: Jets lost and Packers won. Now the Packers just need to win the Super Bowl. Although I root for the Patriots, I enjoy watching the Packers.

Ticked: It's -8 deg below zero here in northwest of Boston. Glad that my car is in a garage. My colleague in New Hampshire couldn't get his car started this morning. I'm sure -8 is nothing for those folks who live in North Dakota/Montana/Alaska areas.
