Drove in to Lisboa today to set up the registration process with an agent. Fiscally painful. Not quite as painful was missing a turn and getting lost. These streets are silly narrow and all manner of hazards dart out.

Had a little transponder doodad for the tolls here (Via Verde) pirated from the Peugeot. Evidented that is a no-no as the reader hooted at me even though I got a yellow light. Agent told me that the readers can measure the vehicle so trucks doe not use car tolls.


Did get there fine. Crossing the 25 de Abril bridge. Big Jesus off to the left, toll gizmo on dash.

Nothing.
BUT the first box came from my Rockauto order from a few days back. The rings were the only item on back order, and they showed up first???
I always forget to order from RA. I made a list of all the parts I needed for my 400 build, then put them all in my cart at Summit. Then remembered RA and found all the exact same parts, put them in my cart, then compared. After the discount code was entered, I saved over $150 using RA over Summit, shipping included.
I have no complaints with Summit, and their shipping is always fast, but I didn’t get what I have by throwing money in a hole either.

Drove mine to work yesterday. 21 year old kid asked if it was a Mustang and said it sounded like a Charger. Obviously not the sharpest tool in the shed

LOL. I'm not sure the shed contains any sharp tools anymore. I saw a segment in the news at a beach in FL asking college students on Spring Break questions like how many states are there, how many senators are there, who we fought in the Revolutionary War, etc. They didn't know any of the answers. The two worst ones were what shape is the Pentagon building and when was The War of 1812? They didn't know those either. And these were actual college students.
Unbelievable.
