All About Trey and Cars
So i decided that i would make my own thread to give everyone a glimpse into my life. I have posted stuff randomly about myself into so many random threads that i decided that i would have one thread to have my random stuff in. So in the coming posts i will have some pics of my car history, current cars, cars that my family has owned that i miss a lot 
, and some other random stuff about my car or myself. I will hopefully document up to the 155k mile mark which is not that far away 
. So once a week or so i will update you all on my car and how many miles fuel economy and so on. Ok well have some stuff to do today so will finish this later.

Ok this car was bought by my moms grandfather (my great grandfather) for his daughter my grandmother. restored by my dads dad (my grandfather). she does not drive it anymore so it came to my moms house where it will be put back in to driving condition and i will get to drive it since my mom hates Small cars as you can see from the car in the back ground (QX56). it will be my car when i turn 21 from what i have heard.
will post more info later it is a MG TF can't remember year1953 or 4 i think will check

I'm confused. You have Bi-Xenons in your C320.. I get that. They weren't available in 2001, but it's a retrofit. How do you have the washers? Or are those just dummy covers?

lol yeah sure 
i love my car because it pictures so well. you should see the salt and other crap on it from the roads being so nasty. today i am going to wash it because it is so bad. It has 139,959 miles on it right now and is in pretty good condition. needs new fog lights, hood respray, new armrest cover, tires, rims, rear door lock mechanism.
ok well it really doesn't need all that the tires, fog light and door lock will get fixed the rest i will probably do after the 155k mark as a gift for the car.
Thanks OneOfaKind

Very good friend lives in fayetteville. He helped my parents raise my sister and i from birth to 4 years old. He is getting older now and i took a week off work to come visit him. This is going to be fun because my front tires are not too hot right know. i am thinking about getting my new tires sent to his house so i don't have bad tires both ways lol.

So insted of creating a new thread i will post in this one and hope someone reads it. So for the last year or so the driver side bix seemes to be killing bulbs. the arc gap seemes to grow untill it starts causing flikering. this has happened atleast twice know and is getting expensive. i have always bought two bulbs at a time. the driversied always seems to start it first so i swich them. then the passanger side flikers some but not as much. then about 1 month later the driver side seems to have the same problem. anyone heard of this before? my next plan once i get a replacement bulb is to swich the ballasts to see if the problem happens next on the suspected bad ballast side or the good ballast side. otherwise i guess it is the igniter but that is just a guess. any help?
