Can You Hear Me Now - Yes

For some, upgrades and improvements come at a furious pace, then there are folks like me. We evaluate every option until our heads spin. I finally decided to take the middle road. I've wanted for some time to improve the sound in my smart. Considering everything from just getting the top end stuff that smart has, keeping it all stock to the audiophile dream/nightmare with a system audible two blocks away, announcing my arrival. I decided to take the middle road. Moderate improvements that can ea… Continue

Windshield cracking

Less than a month after replacing my original windshield (small chip developed into a 15 inch vertical crack from just under the drivers side wiper) - while driving on the 91 Freeway in Corona, CA - a small piece of debris hit the upper passenger side. By the sound of the impact I didn't think much about it - then noticed a dime size star chip! I freaked! Within five days (after sitting in the sun for an afternoon) a crack has appeared - about 18 inches horizontal across to the mid point of the… Continue

Door Speakers - What Fits

I'm taking the first steps in upgrading the sound system in my smart. I know that the speakers are 6 1/2" but what I dont know is how much depth there is to work with behind the speaker. Since we have to work with limitations, I want to be able to put in the best door speakers I can without having to modify the interior door panel. Please, if you know how much space there is to work with behind the door speakers, I'd love to hear from you. If you've already done an upgrade, I'd like to know what… Continue

Fliegen: September 1990 - April 28, 2009

Little Fliegen passed away at 10:22am on Tuesday, April 28 while I cradled her. Although her medication had stopped her seizures, it became apparent that the brain tumour was rapidly affecting her in multiple ways and I could no longer let her suffer. She spent her last night sleeping next… Continue

Fliegen

I am sad to report that my little pup, Fleigen the wonder-dog, all of 19 amazing years, is approaching the end of her road. She has been suffering from occasional seizures which have suddenly increased as of Thursday night. Although my vet has prescribed anti-seizure meds, they are continuing and are starting to have longer lasting effects. We are waiting on blood tests to rule out any pathogens that could theoretically be the cause, although that is considered to be a longshot. The most likely… Continue

I guess punctuation, grammar, spelling, capitalization, intelligibility, etc., are not strong points on this blog.

Holy CRAP any car behind will ram you. Imagine changing the back drum brakes to disc?
