Yea that 4 car garage would be awesome to have. The center, double door, would be the work bay and use the 2 end doors for parking. Take care of that car and in 2025 your kid will have a nice first car. It seems far away but it will come quicker then you think. Kids grow up fast.

Well, congrats on the second, now he'll have someone to terrorize. Or they'll both terrorize you. Yea it seems like a year ago I was changing three different size diapers at the same time with my kids and now they're in thier 20s. Where did my youth go? It gets easier with the second one. Congrats again and good luck.

so far my first kid(pictured) has been picture perfect. He is sooo awesome, he loves to play around with everyone, loves to share, hes just happy all the time(minus before nap time/feeding time, just like me haha)
im hoping the next will be just like him, i couldn't ask for more from a kid.(this is my experience of my 1 1/2 year old, i hope it will stay the same for the rest of this bumpy ride)

Just installed my new head unit, avh-p4300dvd. Took longer then i thought. about 6hours total. something in the wiring messed up to my front right speaker, so i had to trouble shoot it and rewire it. should be receiving my 8" infinity sub to replace my stock. have my old sub in the trunk for a temp(which i can barely hear because old sub is still in place haha). learned alot about my car and refreshed my memory on how to read a wiring diagram.

other notes. been reading around but couldn't find the answer. does anyone know how to wire the antenna so it only comes out when the fm radio is on? from the looks of it i will have to relay a switch in and just do it manually. (the pioneer only has one accessory wire)

also had to trouble shoot the bypass, i bought a 30amp 12v relay from radio shack and wire it like the soundguy on youtube but it just wouldnt work. it would get hot but i would never hear the click he was talking about. finally went back to radio shack and found out they had a 40amp one. worked like a charm. :-)

will take pictures of everything i have done so far. cant wait for my sub to come in then ill have all my trunk back.

a few pictures i took from my iphone 4 today. showing my temp sub situation till the 8" comes in, my new head unit, my red' out tail lights.
mod-express took a week to even get my hid's out of their warehouse...still have not received them and i ordered them on the 18th, kind of bummed its taking so long since they make you pay 20 bucks for express shipping.
