    So the headunit problem is an annoying loose connection at the back of the unit. push down on the connector and it works just fine, as soon as you let go, bye bye music... I hate messing with the HVAC panel too, Im just glad the OBC works again.

        There is several pieces of stuff jammed in there, but its like the wires themselves need to be "weighed down" in order to get it to work... really annoying because the wiring job looks like it was done quite well

              Ugh, what a "monday." E30 was giving me fits this morning so after ~20 minutes of it not wanting to start and hold the idle, I gave up and moved it to a different spot so I wouldnt get a ticket. Then figured, its a nice day I will take the roadster to work and just as Im pulling into the parking structure it starts coughing and dies twice as Im trying to park it... Priority is to figure out whats going on with the E30. This should be an interesting week!

                So I moved into a new place with my girlfriend in Santa Monica, but parking suuucks so I've been leaving the e30 on the street at my dad's place in Culver. Got this 2-for-1 the other day :finger:



                I'm sick of letting tickets pile up, so now the car is in his garage while I'm dailying the 'yacht. Feels sad, but I can't bring myself to part with it

                    Yeah, again. I don't feel like taking my plate filler off so I just ate the ticket.

                      Speaking of tickets. Finally got my notice from SLO for a no front plate ticket (which was the "reason" I got stopped) and for no proof of insurance (I had an expired card, forgot to put the new one)

                      Sooooo, since they're both correctable, Anyone have experience getting the proof of correction done? Do I just walk into a police station and tell them to look at my front plate/insurance and sign a paper?

                        Pretty much but avoid CHP stations.

                              Got a dash camera for my birthday today! Hopefully I never have to use it for insurance purposes but I'll be glad I have it if something happens.

                                Fuck Apple... Ive avoided their products as much as possible, other than iTunes. Ive had my iphone 6 SE for almost a year and Ive used the same apple ID as before and now Im having all kinds of issues. It says my password is wrong and I cant get a code because the email its attached to is an old hotmail acct that I havent used in like 10 years, and one of my security questions isnt being accepted... so annoying. Now Im trying to reset my hotmail password... So annoying
