Welcome to the IHoP

So I drove over two hours to pick this car up from Ebay. Get to the lot and it's some hole in the wall. They had this beautiful presentation on the listing, and the place was a dump. Anyways, I found four huge dents in the car and multiple other small ones. None of these were mentioned in the auction and they listed it as an 8 out of 10. The check engine light was on. It was listed as having cold AC and hot heat. Well, the heat worked, but the compressor never cycled. So I go to take it on a drive as I drove 100+ miles already. As soon as I pull out of the lot, I fell the entire back end of the car wobbling around as if it were rolling on rims only and were bent. I turned right around, told them to refund my deposit and let them know a piece of my mind.

damn that sucks!

was that the taurus?

Yup.

On the other hand, this Cobra I made an offer on has come down $1500. They keep getting closer to my offer.

Today was a bucket of fail.

Worked all afternoon on modifying a transformer and all the wire for the windings got effed up on the first try. Second try and the cats sabotaged me, jumbling the wires :(

5 hours of work down the drain. Sweet.

Is that for your Z1?

A small power supply so I can test big amps, like the Z1, Atomic 5000.1, 40.1...and others...without risking to blow everything up.

Sounds like fun but tedious work. Good luck.

VERY tedious and this is my second day of bad luck.

Four tries to un-jumble wires and I only managed to waste time :(

Might aswell try some html/php/mysql for one of the school projects. Writing some code here and there will hopefully be safe...

Going to buy some wire for the transformer tomorrow. Fingers crossed I can pull this off and wind it right.
