Totino's Pizza Rolls because a party pizza is too much work.
I had re-heated Chinese food. <3

[QUOTE=DPKiller;51190045]What's for dinner AA? For me, it will be either Wingstop or McDonalds as I am a fatass.[/QUOTE] Brazillian grill. so fuckin good.
Pizza, a chicken pot pie and prolly Burger King a bit later. Because I have the metabolism of a redbull fueled race horse with 12 legs.

I had yuckysoba (yakisoba). I someday aspire to own a 70s era Grand Am. There's something about that shovel face that makes it so much more appealing to me. [editline]12th October 2016[/editline] Oh shit, I forgot what I actually wanted to post. I'm thinking of redoing the exhaust/muffler set-up in my Grand Am to make it exit infront of the rear wheels and I was wondering if rigging up a muffler (thinking one of those Glasspack ones) and having a y-pipe come out after that, to either side of the car, would maintain the beefy glasspack sound? Or would I be better off rigging two glasspacks up just before it exits the sides?

The RV passed smog! We're parked at a friend of a friend's storage space for now, hopefully we can find something more permanent. Every single RV park near here is booked solid on monthly spaces. Also no generator or aux battery, so no internal lights or appliances right now. But it's super comfy because we managed to drag out Full mattress in so there's tons of space.

Theres plenty of youtube videos on it. They wont have the full charge of a normal battery, and probably wont last as long, but its cheap. If youve got $100 or so, replace all the interior lights with LEDs. You could run all of them on battery power and draw less amps than one incandescent light. Also, if it has a propane fridge, keep a fire extinguisher handy until its run long enough that you trust it.

When I bought the thing, the owner had his 50-year licensed RV mechanic friend come out and try and hook up everything to make it all work, however the aux battery caused a bit of smoke and smell inside so it stayed off since none of the cables are labeled and there wasn't any time to trace them. Also we haven't even tried propane at all, so no idea if any of that works.
Update on the PT Cruiser GT. About a month ago I fried the ECU. I was trying to see if it was sparking for the cylinder 3 cable, so I let it arc to the intake... Yeah. Car instantly turned off. Turn the key, no fuel prime or crank. Went to the junkyard and looked for another turbo ECU, ALL of them were gone. Grabbed an NA one. Put that in, it cranks and primes, yay! But will blow a fuse everytime it's started. Probably because it's not a turbo one. Bought a STAGE 1 ECU on eBay for $120. Took 3 weeks to get here because USPS lost it for a while. Just sent it off to get the VIN changed on it because the dealership doesn't have a tool to do it. They need the whole physical car to program it. That's stupid... Anyway. That's good. Stage 1 should knock it from ~230whp to ~250whp. Plus faster shifting. Can't wait to troll some Mustangs. I kind of want to get a bigger BOV fro it to.

It was running with a Stage 1 ECU too, so it would've been about 250 as well. Just enough to take on unmodified V6 mustangs and sn95 V8s. [editline]12th October 2016[/editline] Oh and btw we slept in the RV last night with no heater and no power at about 42 degrees outside. It was fine until the cold penetrated the walls at about midnight. Then it became painfully cold. I had to waste gas trying to fire up the 440 and running the heater just so we could start moving in anything more than a hunched mass underneath some blankets. Today's top priority is power and propane.

Id reccomend replacing it with a vent free type. If thats not an option, a mr heater big buddy would do the job too. I use the normal sized buddy in my truck camper and it keeps it pretty comfy in febuary. Another bit of staying warm advice is find a military surplus store and grab an extreme cold sleeping bag. Mine has a busted zipper and it still keeps me almost uncomfortably toasty in all but the coldest nights. Also, you best get you an lp/co detector, unless youre okay with burning to death or dying silently in your sleep. This is the one i use in my camper and the bus: [url]http://www.ebay.com/itm/261562541903?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT#rwid[/url] If your rv already has one, dont keep it. They go bad after a few years. I stuck the old one that came with my camper directly in the tailpipe of my running diesel and it didnt go off.
What can I do to "calibrate" my speedometer? it always shows 10km/h too much, it cant be the diameter of my wheel because then the differece would increase as I go faster. it shows that I'm going 60 while going 50 and 110 when going 100.

I used the one in the bus once and it was proably the most convenient camping appliance ever.
