Wait, so did they not bed in the brake pads to the rotors or did they just tell you to drive "moderately" for 500 miles, while trying to avoid hard stops? The pulsations might be improperly bedded in pad material. At least that's what I've read happens when you don't bed in pads.

Also, how is the level of you brake fluid?

Today was just a good day.

I went by the local coffee shop before class, and had a free coffee on my card.

Then I went to the dealer after class for my Oil Change.
(I get "The Works" Package)
Apparently I had a freebie on my owner's advantage card, so I got an Oil Change,
Tire Rotation and a Car Wash for $4.79


I also test drove a Fusion Sport for the fun of it
(while I was waiting) and they're really fun cars!

Nothing too special I suppose; just a good day.

 

Once again nothing new...
I just (finally) uploaded stuff off of my camera so I thought that I would post some new pictures. Comment if you want, or wait until I actually post something new!

The other day at the gas station. I rarely see another DSG Reg Cab



At the dealer, after my free carwash! w00t...





Parked in front of the house





My new Plate frame... woo...



and why not (see if we have any gamers in here) me waiting for class the other day

 

Ah, sick CnC Generals. Usually played US SW, though haven't played in a while.

 

Looking good buddy

What's your real name btw?

 

Excellent.

I haven't played in awhile, so I thought that I would play through the story mode again just to de-noob-afy myself...

 

Trucks lookin good man! I got to make it up to Stl sometime soon.

 

Let me know when, and we can take pictures!

 

Truck is looking good! Hmm, a mac, I want one, but afraid of the unknown such as downloading music/movies/etc. How do you like it compared to a PC?

 

Fair enough, to be honest I don't do a whole lot of downloading stuff. I have a friend who's family owns a local Record shop (Euclid Records) and I'd rather support them. But for what I do I love it. I'm a graphic design student, so the software for Mac's is much more prevalent. Not that there isn't software for PC's, Adobe has CS3-5 available for Windows, but I like it better on the Mac. (I grew up with them, so I guess I'm just used to them).

Type of stuff that I do:



Although, I do have a PC for gaming which I love as well.



I will say that the Mac gives me a lot less trouble. I've had the MacBook for about a month longer than the truck (Sept. 2007), and the only thing that it's needed has been a new power cable (about two months ago). The PC on the other hand has had a bunch more issues (i.e., right now my USB drivers are fried so I can't log in - no keyboard or mouse recognition).

Although...

Mac = $1,100 virtually no problems
PC = $50 (built from spare parts, $50 is for the DVD drive) with issues.

I can't really complain for that price though.

...wow, this couldn't be more off-topic.

To bring it back to planet F150 and keep the moderators happy, I just bought a stubby antenna from Kellen. I took off the OEM antenna basically when I bought the truck and that hole is driving me crazy. Eventually I want to shave it, but this is a good plan for the mean time. Who knows I may really love it. I only bought the Saleen vents to cover up the holes while I saved up to get them shaved, and now I really like them!

 

Holy Crap, you guys are fast!

I told you guys that I'd ordered the Stubby Antenna from Craven?
I placed the order on May 10th, I got it Today!

Not gonna lie, I got the cheapest delivery possible
(Tight budget, full time student - what can I say?) and they said it may take up to two weeks. I got this in four days, including a weekend! Wow...

Okay, here's some pictures for now and I promise to get some on tomorrow with it installed.





Yay for a distraction from my final Paper!
Oh, F150online I would probably have better grades/attendance without you, but I'm hopelessly addicted; what can I say?

 

You make iGreen images? Lol.

The antenna looks good, I was thinking about getting the bullet looking one.

 

It was my my Graphic Design Class, our final project was to re-design the iPhone packaging. I try my best to be different!

I'm super excited to put the antenna on the truck tomorrow.

(I'm running of of Mac&Cheese and Monster, so the little things
are exciting right now... )

I'll be sure to post how the reception is. Although, seeing as I don't have an antenna at all right now; I'm sure this will be an improvement!

 

my life on a daily basis right there!

 

I out of both at this point...

I can make more Mac, but I don't have any more Monsters...



I may have to go on a food break soon...

...Oh, I've never had my build-up thread so off topic.
But it's my thread and I can do what I want!
