Yellow head light lenses got ya down?? Read now!

So it's crazy, but it works. My girlfriends 2001 Dodge Stratus had a yellow film on her headlights and it was getting pretty hard to see out of them at night. I seen on Hot Rod tv that tooth paste takes that discoloration away. The discoloration is from the suns UV rays discoloring the clear coat that comes on the lenses. Now, a little background. A lot of the ford mustangs are BAD for this and it should make a huge different, because her lights were just as yellow as some mustangs I have seen. Other lights can get moisture behind the lense, if you notice moisture behind the lense after you do this little trick, you are pretty much left with two options, leave it alone, or replace the headlight. All you have to do is take any kind of tooth paste, I used Colgate. Put the tooth paste on the lense, use a decent amount just enough to coat a thin film across the headlight. Use a terry cloth and massage the tooth paste across the light vigorously in a circular motion and then allow a few min to set up. Once you see the tooth paste is dry take a wet wash cloth and wipe off the excess paste. You will be amazed by the outcome, I know I was. I never heard of that before and I was a slight sceptic, but seeing it first hand it is quite amazing. So if you are having problems with a slight discoloring film on your headlights try some tooth paste a little elbow grease and a cotton terry cloth, and you will be amazed.. Good luck and post before and after pictures.

David and Goliath

Now, for anyone who watches UFC, you may agree with me that Fedor Emelianenko is a true bad ass. Now, besides that this is some what of a compelling video. This video makes you realize that no matter how big the obstacle is or how small you are never give up. Now lets get back to the better portion of this video that ass kicking.. That guy compared to Fedor is HUGE, I enjoyed seeing him actually win this fight. A great fighter once said, "It doesn't matter how big the opponent or how strong he is when the fight goes to the ground it's a whole different fight." Royce Gracie. This led to be very true in this fight, Fedor took it to the ground and won with a submission. Although the guy was big and out weighed Fedor, he still over came the obstacle of this fight and came out on top. In the UFC today this is actually illegal. They created different weight classes so that it made each fight a little more safe for the fighters. Along with Fedor, I enjoy watching Georges "Rush" St. Pierre fight along with, Quinton "Rampage" Jackson, Matt Hughes, Anderson "The Spider" Silva, Rich "Ace" Franklin, and Matt "The hammer" Hamil

F*ckin Pigs......

So out of the thirty to fourty cars in Sparta driving around without a front license plate, Im the one that gets pulled over.  Now, I don't really understand the point of the front license plate, and I figured the majority of the US, didn't require it, but actually 25 of the 50 states require the use of a front license plate. Not only did he pull me over for my front license plate, but he told me my tinted tail lights were illegal. Im assuming he was a new cop, because we were a block down from the police department, and he found it neccesary to point out that he was a police officer from the Sparta Police Department and had to point at the police station. Now, for those who dont understand what I mean when I say my tail lights are tinted. You can buy a paint called VHT NightShade from most auto part stores. It is in a spray can and with the right process you can turn your bright red lights into smoked or blacked lenses, that are legal. You don't want to spray it too heavy, because the light is slowly blocked. The tails lights HAVE to be seen atleast 500 feet away at night as well as during the day. When I tinted my tail lights I double checked it with a friend who is an ex-cop, and another friend of mine, and everything checked out fine. The cop was sure to tell me it was illegal and I needed to put my front plate on and remove the film that was on my tail lights. I talked to a friend of mine who is currently a cop, and he informed me that no front license plate is considered "Improper display of registration" and is a $120.00 fine. So for anyone out there driving around without a front license plate, you might find a cop out their who wants to pull you over for a Bullshit reason and ticket you for $120.00 and there is nothing you can do about it.

New 2011 Scion Tc!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YyVCO0lIEkA&feature=fvw

Now, I am somewhat of a car enthusiast. I enjoy looking and cars, working on them, reading about them, and so on, I enjoy modifying them as well. I own a 2007 Scion Tc which has the 2.4L engine attached to a 5 Spd manual transmission. I am pretty much in love with these cars, because of their ability to be modified and tuned. They are not the fastest car around, but they are very stylish, and if done right they can become very quick. As of right now my car sits at 170 +/- Horsepower and 165 +/- wheel torque. Now, anyone that knows anything about cars would know that the HP rating along with torque isn't the best, but it would be a quick daily driver. I recently added: A cold air intake system, 2 1/2" exhaust from the S pipe back connected to a Greddy Ti-c axel back exhaust, Tein S-tech lowering springs, stock scion spoiler, aftermarket mesh grill and a few interior lights. I uploaded a few pictures of my car, let me know what you think. Now that I have given a little bit of background of my car and why I like them, let's get back to the main reason I started this blog, the new 2011 Scion Tc!. The new 2011 Scion Tc comes equipped with a 2.5L engine attached to a 6spd manual tranny. This upgrade is probably the most exciting for me. With Scion upgrading the engine and transmission it will allow more power to be obtained a lot easier, without the severe internal damage to the engine. The 6spd tranny is going to allow the car to idle a little lower during normal driving conditions, which I really like, this not only helps with fuel mileage, but it also allows for a less noisy ride. I can't wait for Scion to release this car to the public, it's going to be cool to see how people take and modify it to their own specs
