As I mentioned earlier today, having just come into some money (a whopping $80 in fact), I decided to go parts shopping for KITT. Well, just after wrapping up my little “Hey, you guys aren’t so bad” post regarding Advance Auto Parts, I go there and have a lousy experience. <laughs> Figures. But it didn’t [...]

The official beginnings of the Knight Project are occurring today! This morning one of my web clients dropped off a check (under the windshield wiper, as usual) so I’m going to stop at Advance Auto Parts after work and pick up a couple of parts. I’m going to be doing some work on the [...]

The rainy season down here in balmy southern Florida is on its way out, and indeed, it hadn’t rained in nearly two weeks. Until last night, that is. That’s when the rainclouds decided to pay us one last visit before saying adios for the season. It absolutely poured last night. And the wind picked up, [...]

Longtime readers of my rants and musings may remember a piece of news I submitted way back over a year ago, stating that Ford was planning to axe the Excursion—its mammoth-size SUV—after the 2003 model year. This was on my previous website, two revisions ago in fact. Well, just the other day, I came out [...]

Well, after sending a very lengthy, very detailed and very stern e-mail to my insurance agent last night, I promptly received a call from her and had the whole thing straightened out. Remember the original $520 annual premium I was quoted to insure KITT? I got that back. Apparently the dummkopf woman I spoke [...]

Woohoo! Finally, KITT made it to Florida! And it never even rained on it, either. The truck driver was incredibly nice and we chatted for a minute before he took off. It was a blazing hot afternoon, at least ninety degrees, but the Formula’s engine never heated up past the temperatures I’d been used to [...]

Would someone please explain to me why my insurance company seems to be full of nothing but retards? I mean, how else could you explain that when I got an insurance quote on my ‘89 Formula two weeks ago, the annual premium was $520, and now it’s $847? For LIABILITY ONLY? I mean, the insurance [...]

After talking to the truck driver who’s bringing KITT down to Florida, I learned that he will be showing up here at around 2:00-3:00 in the afternoon. Apparently both of the other cars he’s transporting are due to be dropped off on the east coast of Florida—he thought only one was—so he’s going to drop [...]

Finally we’ve reached the end of this stressful week. Next to the transport of my car from Michigan, which I’m now satisfied is going to proceed quite pleasantly, the biggest stress-inducer this week has been getting my company’s new website ready for launch by Friday. I was hoping to have that launched, done and gone [...]

Have a good trip, buddy. I’ll see you soon.

(Thanks to my dad for the photos of the big event this morning!)
