tux is 80 rented
tickets are 20 bucks for two
and the corsage for the lady is another twenty...
Cmon people, I can understand being frugal, but dont be a cheap ***.
If youre really cheap you dont pay for tickets, its not like they check anyways.

Took it into my bros shop. Ran the obd2 and it came back code free! Whoop! Then we found why the drivers speaker and likely windows are f-ed, bunch of busted wires in the door jam. And the funny part is that the idiot PO tried to fix them there already, but used a wire crimp on the broken ones, in the same place! So no kidding they broke again. Then swapped some random lug nuts PO used for stock ones I picked up at the junkyard a while back. Then attempted to do a front end alignment, but it wasn't going so well, and it was getting late, so called er' a night.
But all in all pretty happy with the diagnostics, and finding those broken wires.

Fixed the starting issue! At least so it seems... bought new battery connectors and electric grease, cut and go rid off the old terminals and put the new ones in after cleaning the cables a bit (lots of corrosion). She now starts without a problem!
PS: Someone asked about the air compressor, I can't see any details/ref about it so here is a photo of it. It's turned on via a switch in the engine bay.

When I get my bonus at the end of this month, I'm thinkin 31" Firestone Destination M/Ts. After I do the ZJ tie rod upgrade to fix my alignment. And then get my 3" bastard pack installed. And with leaf springs I trust, I can take off my rear sway bar. And at the same time, I should be ordering my bumper from v8eater. And maybe my CB. November should be a good month.
