Well, JDMcb7 (Josh) comes up last night to meet us to go to the bowling green Honda-Tech meet... we were going to put his OEM Fog's and OEM Sidemarkers in before the meet but due to time issue's we couldn't do them (bad thing #1), so we planned on doing them next weekend instead.
so we get up this morning and head out to bowling green, get there and are waiting at a gas station for a buddy of ours that lives there to show us were the meet is. he gets there, we start to leave, and Josh's (JDMcb7's) car wont start... in the commotion of trying to get it running, the alarm automatically locks the doors with the keys in the car. (bad things #2 and #3)
Lock smith gets there and gets it unlocked, and we continue to try to get the thing started. we try push starting (no dice), so we decide to go ahead to the meet and just come back later and try it again (my car will do this sometime, and if you let it sit for 30min or so it will start right up)... so we go to the meet, hang out for awhile talked to a few people, and head back to work on the car... get there and it STILL will not start. (bad thing #4)
so we decide to test the spark... finally some success in something, we have spark! so we disconnect the fuel line from the fuel rail and turn the key on to see if the rail is getting fuel... NOTHING comes out. I look at his fuel filter and it looks like its been on the car its entire life, so we decide to go get a fuel filter @ a parts store (since it would be the cheapest thing to try first and the car needed one anyway). Me and Josh go to the parts store and Dustin (slow904door) and Josh's friend Eric stay to take the fuel filter off... only to find that the fuel line going to the Fuel filter is CRIMPED! of coarse being a metal line, the line snapped when disconnecting it from the filter, so me and Josh get a line to "ghetto rig" it up so he can at least get the car started. (at this point we were pointing towards the clogged fuel filter/crimped line.......---> bad thing #5)
we get it rigged, and all put back together... STILL NO FUEL! (bad thing #6)
my next guess is the FPR, who knows right? so we jack mine off my car and swap em over just to see if it could possibly fix the problem... agian nothing (bad thing #7)
Eventually our crew from Ptown rolls up at the gas station from the meet and pitch in to try to get it running. and after checking the relay (by ear) and fuel pump (also by ear) we've come to the conclusion that its either A:the relay or b: the fuel pump (bad luck #8)
We have to come back to Ptown so we stick around long enough to make sure Josh has a way home (thankfully he has friends with big trucks and trailers
) and we head out. as soon as we leave, rain starts freakin POOURRRINGG. alright thats not so bad, so we get a little closer to home and my muffler takes a crap, the back "cap" blows the welds and is currently dangling from my tip.. (bad thing #9)... no big deal just a reason to get a new exhaust 
later one Dustin is taking a pic of my buddys car, which in turn we slow down to about 30 mph or so, and everyone else keeps driving 80 mph (not knowing we slowed down), so when we get the picture taken I take off and get the car up to Governor rated speed (117 I think?)... when I finally catch them and slow down I here something rubbing the ground.... NOW WHAT! I look out the window only to find that my front lip had been ripped off in the middle by the wind... (bad thing #10)
so we stop and rip it the rest of the way off (pics coming soon) and also notice that my Fushigi Res sticker has also taken a crap on me and blown half way off... (bad thing #11)
since then I've returned to Paducah and I am not leaving the safety of my own home for a few hours at least.... Waiting to here from Josh, whose supposed to call me when he gets the car back home in the Ville....
so like it says... not a good day for CB7's around here
