The last couple of days have been some really outrageous weather! 

This had me cracking up, I had to post this one. 

Where the heck is it? After the news and media hype it doesn’t look like it’s storming at all. We’ve had regular rainy days with more precipitation. Maybe it will come later on today but it supposed to have been here already. What a dud.

I’ve had several different exhaust configurations since I’ve owned Josie. All of them were acceptable except when I was running glass packs with straight thru’s. That configuration was so loud it was embarrassing. I picked up a pair of Flowmaster 10’s from a guy in Livermore. He had it running on his SRT Magnum and removed them for a different type of exhaust.

I’ll have them installed next weekend when the storm blows over. I don’t want to take Josie out in the rain since I don’t have my new weather seals installed (except the trunk, that’s done).

One thing that trips me out with the exhaust from the older cars in the 1960’s is the diameter of the pipes used. Mines are about 1.75″ and the newer exhaust looks to be 2.5″, definitely larger diameter than what I have now. I guess back in the day that was a normal setup.

Trying out Cinema Graphics technique. I’ll upload more onto my blog as I figure it out.

Its the day before Christmas eve!

?Apparently the stock alternator of the SLK cannot provide enough output current to sustain the small 500w amplifier I installed in the back trunk area. If I turn up the volume the interior dash lighting and front headlights fluctuate in brightness when a heavy bass beat is produced. 

I may have to update the alternator to a higher amperage model, I’ve had this issue with other high power stereo systems in the past. Nothing new. 

Spent some time last weekend preparing the garage for gathehrigsgathehrig and hanging out with the fellas. 

It was super cold this morning at least to what we are used to in the valley. I think it went as low as 31 degrees Fahrenheit.

Today we had our annual toy run for a homeless shelter nearby. Definitely a chilly ride on the motorcycle.

Waiting it out before heading back into the plant cuz it’s hell of dumping rain. It doesn’t seem to to be weakening though 🙁
