Wish me luck

Congrats on the new wheels! Was glad to see that you returned to vaping and not smoking. Like someone else mentioned, maybe it would be easier to reduce nicotine strength first. Not sure. I'm currently on 12 down from 24 over three months. No major issues so far.

Good luck. Great to see too that the shortness of breath has been sorted out. Congrats on the exercise routine, can't go wrong there!

Wow the smoked light covers look cool! I didn't know you could do that. A blinged out PT looks awesome so pretty much anything you're going to do to it will be nice.

 

[Kams Cats]

I love the light covers and the chrome for the hood. Very sharp.

gotta put some 20's on that !

Not a fan of that front bumper and sideskirts. Rear bumper might go well with the dual exhaust but an aftermarket exhaust system on a pt cruiser would be a first lol. I'd say keep it stock.

I am really losing it here. The finance guy finally called back this morning while I was still sleeping (I work graveyards and have to keep the same sleep schedule). I don't talk to people until my second cup of coffee. Anyone that knows me just stays away from me when I wake up. I come to my man cave, check emails etc. I called back and sat on hold forever, someone else answers the call and says he's with a customer, call back in 20 mins. I said tell him to just call me when he's free (don't want to sit on hold again for 15 mins). I waited over 2 hrs and called, almost 3 actually. he answers the call and says he never got my message grr. and now he's with a customer and will call me back in 20 mins... my day is running out again. I have to get out there, sign the paperwork, then drive back home, get a ride back out and go transfer my insurance over, so I can get back home and get ready for work... meaning I will need a nap before I go since I got woken up early.

Sorry you don't like the look, but it's just like anything out there and we all have our personal tastes. I like having something different. rims will also be high on the list theon3. It will remain stock at first as I will need to get ahead on the bills. I plan on having it paid off by october, then I can start ordering goodies to add. there are just so many cool things available. the woody conversion is cute too but not for me. I'd love to do the panel truck conversion but that's like $4000 plus. hell there's even lambo doors.

Congrats on the new ride Pipeous - the PT has that "je ne sais quoi" about it, it really stands out from all the generic looking cars on the road. I rented one a few months ago and was amazed at how spacious it is in there! I'm 6'3 and I don't fit too well in most sedans/cars but I had all the room I needed in the PT.

Be sure to post some more pics once you finally get it home.

Well guys, I have been trying hard to get my music going. I have an audition thursday night now as lead vocalist for a gigging band. I sent them a bunch of stuff and my recordings, just got off the phone now. I am so excited. I get to sing a stevie wonder tune as part of the repertoire, I wish. I can kill that song!! I have to learn the actual words but the tune is one of my fav so the melody line is stuck in my head allready

and side note, never bought that pt. they lied to me about the mileage and as I was just about to finalize I found out it has way too many.... so I wait. I'll find one. put the van up for sale. at worst I can use the bike to get to work until I replace the van..

who cares. I am so close to actually getting back in front of people singing again. will be strange just taking me and a mic to a jam though hehe. I will probably still bring the acoustic

 

[VAPOINSANO]

[Pipeous]

oh hell ya. I am an old mopar guy. first car I remember dad having was a 53 dodge, then that 63 saratoga, he had a 440 charger too. used to love taking out his big old chryslers and slap those small blocks around. he ran a lot of body shops but mostly for dodge. my first car was a charger, had a few mopars.

I found a couple dream cruiser editions and now that's the pt I want. going to be picky. tangerine pearl, ltd numbered edition, black and orange interior, gt with turbo, all the goodies, 17 inch rims. just different...

I went over 3 of the songs and figured out lyrics. 2 of the songs I have never heard before last night haha, and I'm going to learn the keyboard parts (they don't know yet haha) show up with the midi guitar and have some fun. one's country rock and the other is blues... neither pattern is very hard... the stevie wonder tune is wish. man I just wanna start dancin' when I hear that tune. have to learn the horn parts on that one, it'll be a bigger challenge... one song I don't really like though.

Dude - you're making me think I need to hit the skins again (I haven't played in over a year!)

 

[Pipeous]

oh hell ya. it's been 25 yrs for me since I last sang publicly and it's happening for this old fart. hell remember I was complaining about trying to sing stuff in c as it was too high? I wish is D# and I have no troubles now with that ... I love vaping haha

 

[WAC_Vet]

Pipeous, if you DIY... might I make a suggestion for your base? One of the new suppliers here is randyith RTS Vapes. His product are AMERICAN made, including his nicotine!! I bought 2 bottles, but haven't had the time to try them. I can say that I've been reading wonderful reviews concerning the quality of his products, clean, odor free...... I can tell you that shipment is FAST!

 

[Pipeous]

I'll be honest, I just ordered 2 bottles from a canadian supplier that arrived in 1 day and I am in vaping nirvana right now... I also ordered a bunch of dekang. what can I say, I like dekang tobaccos. have 3 new tobacco flavours coming this round and then I have tried every dekang tobacco made. appreciate the heads up but I am pretty picky. I just sold all my dyi stuff again. done it twice now and I prefer just pre mixed.

wanna hear funny? I am doing the audition tonight. I've had 5 songs to learn, 2 I have never even heard before monday night, 1 I don't like, 1 I used to sing in a band and one I just love. I decided to empty my mp3 player and put those 5 songs on. for 2 days I have been doing my rounds at work with headphones on and singing these songs over and over. yesterday I see a guy riding a bike going by, I don't hear anything but the double take he made was hilarious. tonight I find a door open, go to radio in and realize I can't hear a reply anyway... couldn't even tell if the alarm was ringing. oh ya...

and then people seeing me dancing around the lot, stepping in time. but seriously, I can't help dancing when listening to stevie wonder. that stuff just makes the .... sway man and gives you a swagger, even a white boy like me haha. I'm pretty wound up about this gig. I feel like a kid. I'm going to go out tonight on the motorcycle and just bring my mic, stand, an fx unit, cables and lyric book... leaving my instruments at home. I want to sell just the vocals, the fact I can fill the other guitarist or keyboardist (I can do both) will be icing. Feeling pretty damned confident this morning

 

[DJAndrada]

good luck to you!!! best wishes!!!

 

[Pipeous]

Went ok. I know there were 3 others, maybe more, also trying out. got 4 of 6 tunes feel I hit, 1 I was lost as they play it double time and I had trouble fitting the words in, and we did i wish last and I was a little tight and missed some in the chorus higher notes. that said I know I nailed the rest of the song... I was so close to the monitor that the feedback was a problem so I had to push....

now I wait, they have a gig in november

 

[Pipeous]

So I was kind of down. I really thought I had blown the audition. I went out friday and ordered myself a new black fender sonoron acoustic cutaway (I love black guitars)as a consolation gift to myself ... yesterday before going to work I emailed the band guy to thank them for the opportunity to try out blah blah....

I was just pulling out of the driveway when I was being chased down the driveway and handed a phone teehee
I have to bring my guitar to practice from now on... oh baby.. I did it guys!! I love vaping

they want to hear me play, but we got along and they figured I would fit in with them. I quit singing but never quit playing my guitar all these years so I can't wait... going to open with a bon jovi tune... wanted dead or alive. that should sell the guitar work

 

[Pipeous]

here's the new guitar. had to order from fender. none in any store (long and mcquade is my only music store) in canada

Those are some great prices! Do they ship to Canada though?

 

[Not Iris]

Those really are great prices. I'm wondering if they ship to Canada too!
