today we went to pick up the motor.... here's a little recap of how the day went.
7:39am - Andrew, Jon (MR2) friend calls me up checking to see if im ready to go. he tells me that jon can't make since he has to drop his parents to the airport or something. so it'll be just be me and him. so i told him that its fine and will get ready in a few minutes.
8:00am - Andrew calls me up and tells me that his dad won't let him take the trunk. he asked his dad last minute that he will be borrowing the truck and got denied. so i now im stuck trying to find out a back up plan. i went down my list of people and trying to figure out how to get to north holly wood. i called david, sent a txt to revd-up jon, and several car guys. i was really in a bind trying to find somebody. but i got really lucky when i called up dustin the evo guy...
if you can recall on my previous dustin was the guy who let me borrow his battery. anyways, he was planning on going to an evo meet @ hooters in escondido today but his car was in the shop getting the clutch installed. he told me that would glady drive. i was so stoked that he would take me. i apologized and made sure i wasn't interrupting any plans. it was a last minute thing but was really cool about it. he didn't really care how far it was down.... which i found really cool of him to do.
9:00AM - I left the house to go to Dustin's place in Escondido.
9:45AM - I get to Dustin's place and were getting ready to head out. he got his satellite radio and his valentine one radar detector for the trip. our first stop was to unload some stuff at his work.
10:20AM - We headed to North Hollywood. The trip there wasn't that bad. We hit some traffic and everything but talked it up. i got to know dustin better. we pretty much talked the entire time which was cool. i was also presently surprised by his valentine one detector. we came across certain times when it came on and was quite accurate. on route to north hollywood i had to call up yuki and tell him that we're on our way up. and asked him just in case to stay open if we're a little late
12:30PM - We arrived just in time. i walked to yuki's office and handed him the money. dustin then parked his van in front of the gate. we placed the pallet on dustin's van. yuki hooked the motor on the cherry picker and carefully lifted the motor into dustin's van and placed it on the pallet. then dustin tied the motor and close the van doors. i thanked yuki for holding the motor and we were on our way back to san diego.
12:45PM - Now it was lunch time and we were trying to figure out what to eat. we decided just to drive down to irvine spectrum and grab a bite over there.
1:20PM - We arrive at Irvine Spectrum. i told dustin that lunch is on me. he didn't know what he wanted. so we looked at the directory and tried to figure out something. originally i choose California Pizza Kitchen... But as we walked i asked him if wanted PF Changs. He told me never ate there before, so i decided to eat there instead. when we entered PF Changs we were greeted by this smokin blond chick. as we sat down i was scoping out the scenery and there a bunch of hotties. so we ate lunch and headed back to san diego.
