That's right. Jack has died, after 8 years of existence--six of which were under my ownership--and 136,000 miles, he is now a paperweight. Motionless, full of memories, and sitting at my friend's house.



This might have to be moved to the Video Hut, but yeah. Anyway, I'm retiring his license plate, as it won't be the same to have SUPRNRD on another car. The new car will get BREW NJA...as I've already set it aside with the DMV for whenever I get another car.

Guess it's time to go car hunting.

And, Jack, you will be missed. Always an extension of the messiness of my room, you were a great little car.

Do you have the $1500 it would cost me to rebuilt the transmission, and the additional money for the shot piston, right front brake, engine mount, and interior shampoo and vacuum? No...didn't think so. I don't either. Well, I do, but it's easier to just buy a new used car than it is to salvage my existing paperweight.

And, he's not really dead. He's more like unable to move.

That sucks, Zabuza. Jack was a good car... I remember when you got him. I wish you luck on finding a newer car.

That is most uncool. You're car died on you, and stufff. It also sounds like you'd have to spend more money fixing your current car than it wouldtkae to buy a decent used one...So, I guess a new car is most definitely on your horizon.

Tips on your new car It MUST be black, as per the NJA part of the plate, and the brew part...erm...You have to have kegs for tires...That'd work.

Wow, you should design cool decals for your new car when you get it! Make it look all ninja-like, for sure.

So, I know that this is a major bump, but it did occur to me that the new car is more ninja-like than Jack was.

In the middle, I had a white Honda Civic, but now I own a charcoal gray Mazda5 minivan, which does have the BREW NJA license plate.

And, I now have brewninja.com.



But, I don't know how to make it any more ninja-like than what it currently is, and I don't want to ruin the pain by sticking things on it. Help?

Hmm, here is a few suggestions for you.

1) Rims, go for the black powder coat, there are plenty of designs out there that would set off the ninja style just right. Plus there black so they will match.

2) lower the car about a inch to improve handling and such, and it would look epic all on it's own.

Those are all i can think of. The only problem I can see with them is money wise, as far as how much you want to spend on it.

Well, it's already on 17" sport performance tires (required) . Sumitomos, I believe. The rims are probably not going to change anytime soon (came with the car) since I can't afford them.

It's already designed to be a sporty minivan (sport shifter) and rides quite well when I'm by myself (and the tires are filled with nitrogen).

But, I can't lower it any more or I wouldn't make it over the speed bumps near work and in our neighborhood. But, there are probably other things I can do to it in the meantime. It's nickname is the "minivan of evil" because I used to have "Evil Inside" magnets on both sides of the car. Nickname just stuck, and all my coworkers and friends refer to it as that.

I even designed a logo, which will go up on my site as soon as that portion of the site is done:

My father's +11-year-old Ford Taurus is now junk.
So I can sorta relate.

Anyways, I gotta check the new car we have now.
I haven't seen it yet (and it's outside.)
