this am driving through rain and around crappy drivers i noticed something about crappy drivers driving old pos cars and saturns in general.
they drive too slow for condition to piss people off.![Mad](https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/images/smilies/mad.gif)
they brake too early for condition to piss people off.![Mad](https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/images/smilies/mad.gif)
they should just stay home and call in sick so that brighter people can get to work and get things done efficiently.

gotta werd request from parents (retired) that they want to see snaps of their houses they owned when they lived here many yrs ago. i suppose it could be kinda fun to see wat your old house looks like today after decades passed.
it's going to be very werd though taking picts of people's houses that i dont even know but hope i get some good ones while i make a pass or two in my old childhood neighborhood in my FitS tonight. LOL
i hope i dont get chased down.

Only downside is I can't select copy paste like I can on the bb. I can only copy paste on gmail and limited apps. Hope they fix this in the future.
Motored my G today. Was a good drive.
. Afterwards pressured up my tires including the spare on my FIT's.
tomorrrow going to motor my Z.

The filter is a tad restictive vs the one i was using but got rid of the toilet flushing woosh sound at WOT.

Was yet another crazy busy day at work. Driving home in the FitS was kinda rewarding.
got it some gas on the way home.
After supper my wife practices piano so enjoying her tunes. Mostly classic piano which is a good distant variety from my funk/jazz i play so it's real nice.

need to get some mobil1 this week or next week to do my FitS's oil change. i want to do it before it gets terribly cold... the oil life indicator still says 30% but i know it will go past zero again by next March. hahaha.
i suppose i could let the dealer do it in a month or so...
also need to replace the wiper refills on the GE this weekend.
i already have a new pair stashed away.

so hope you guys are checking your tire pressures and pumping them up to match the colder weather. for every 10F temp that goes down your tire pressure will drop by 1psi. you want to be at or over 32psi when cold (measure in the morning preferabbly in a garage or before sun rise if you're parked outdoors). i use 35-37psi on both my GE and GD.

Pulled out the z despite some rain. Was a great drive. Only took about one hr to clean and wax using Griots SprayON WASH and SprayON WAX. Looks perfect again. ![Stick Out Tongue](https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/images/smilies/tongue.gif)
Going to take the pm easy. Kinda tired from staying up late watching dvd with the wife last night.

Picked up some mexican carryout tonight in my FitS. Was a good drive.
As expected, ate too much.![Big Grin](https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
Was quite a bit warmer than i expected. Lost some of the torque i had earlier in the week.

with the crappy weather this am (warm + rain, super high humidity) my FitS was a frikken dog. every gear it bogged.
this is especially painful because just last week it was nice and cool/cold and so the car had ample power. this am, super slow.
hahaha.
so every gear i floored it to get the ECU to adapt ASAP. i think before the clutch, the engine mount is going to break on my car from the wheel spinning during take off. hahaha.
not that im racing or going that fast, no grip for some reason this am.
