Old friends, old spaces

One of the projects I have is moving the old audio equipment from the old car into the new car. It can't happen all at once because I don't have the space, time or patience to undertake doing all that. Back in Delaware I would pull my car into the shop bay after closing and we would work on my car. All the tools, parts, etc. were there. I firmly believe the most expensive thing people are billed for when it comes to car audio is labor. And when you have a master tech willing to help you out with you car for a $15 lunch or pizza, that makes the process go a whole lot easier. I miss the space and more importantly the help that went along with it.

Well now a buttload of stuff from my old car sits under the stairs unused, irking me to no end because it takes up space and they're not being used for the intended purpose. Today I start the process by prepping my trunk with 36 square feet of Dynamat. The Pontiac G8 GT with the sport package, doesn't come with a spare because the car sits on 19" wheels. There's no way a spare 19" wheel would fit back there. Pontiac includes a compressor and OnStar, which should help in the event of a flat. And the truck is ginormous, I can easily climb back and there and close the trunk with room to spare. Anyway, I start lining the trunk with Dynamat Extreme and it starts to rain. The weather gods are against me today.

The start of the work though, nicely tweaks my back. Good times!

But I like the rain. Later on that evening we get some wings from WingStop and it makes the night even better. Good times!
