Hello and welcome to 2011. Yup last week was the end of 2010 and the start or 2011. Hopefully 2011 will be a better year than 2010. I don't really know anyone who really liked 2010. I had to work New Year's Eve so I wasn't out parting and thankfully work wasn't as bad as last year. Finished out the year on the other blog with only one more Race Queen Team feature but I still have a ton of Race Queen pictures so will be keeping the lovely Race Queens rocking the Weekly Review.

Of course what happened this week but my car failed horribly.  After exhausting all the easy and inexpensive fixes for the the troubles I finally broke down after having my car towed home to crack open the car and take a look at the fuel injectors.  I thought that the two on the driver side of the car was clogged.  Well I was half right and very wrong.  To be honest all six of the Injectors looked good from the exit side.  On the other side after taking them out of the fuel rail I found one was seriously clogged.

OK not bad.  Then I decided (thankfully) to take a look at the other four injectors and found my true problem.  the two on the passenger side were packed full of a fine silt like substance that also clogged up the fuel rail.  FUCK!  Well I took the three of them into a local place to be cleaned and test and hopefully that works and I don't need to buy three new injectors for $60 each.  Add in about $15 for o-rings and that adds up to be a not very nice price.  But if I can get the three cleaned for $16 each and the price for the o-rings than I'll be looking good.  Even if one of the injectors is good I'll still be ahead.  I'm cleaning the fuel rail myself.  You can see just how bad it all was with this set of pictures on flickr.

Oddly enough the place I took the injectors to to be cleaned employees a fellow high school class mate from 15 years ago.  I thought he looked familiar but wasn't sure and then he told me and I was like damn that's interesting running into you here.  Small world sometimes.

That whole mess took up most of the week New Year's Eve was what it was and work was pretty standard fair really.  People were noisy but everyone was far enough way from each other that no one complained.  I didn't get any annoying drunk walkins and best of all I didn't need to call the cops.

Saturday was MoNAC and thankfully even though there seemed to be miscommunication which almost killed the meetup it went off without a hitch.  Then Sunday was a rack up the leaves that have been sitting out there for way to long.  I did get most of the front and side racked up before it got too cold and I'll be out there tomorrow if it's not to cold again to finish the job.

With that the week was over I already hate 2011 because of the car but hopefully the rest of the year will be good.  I did find some interesting videos this week though.

Loved this big ol' Lamborghinis


Found some videos for the lovely Shay Maria a 4chan favorite.


And I found out that there is more Macross Frontier Awesomeness in a Music video DVD release.
