I&#8217;ll add sound and upload it here soon.  Probably tomorrow, but possibly as late as Saturday.  On the up side tho, if it IS Saturday I&#8217;ll most likely have a few more to go with it.  I&#8217;m going to be in here working on animations while my Fiancee does her Dojo thing.<\/p>\n<p>Today I bring the Bug in to see how much it&#8217;s going to cost to fix the damage that the teal twit inflicted&#8230;  Then, unless it&#8217;s a shockingly low number, it&#8217;s time to hit the phones to the insurance company.  I&#8217;m considering having a different color bumper put on&#8230;  It&#8217;s something that my Boss did when he had to have the front bumper of his bug replaced.  It&#8217;s a black bug, so I&#8217;m thinking possibly something in silver&#8230;  Of course, then I&#8217;ll have to start getting the optional trim kits in silver too.  I think it&#8217;d be cool, especially since, after a few modifications, it&#8217;ll have the same bright\/dark look that makes the brain think that you&#8217;re looking at a cop car.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;d be interesting to see if that cuts down on the number of people driving like butts&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rainy, wet, cold and pretty miserable out there this morning.
