Pistol & car update.

Well, after the 5 day auction, looks like my Pistol sold. I'm getting $465 for it, $40 more than I had originally asked on the Buy It Now price. This is a good thing, since my wife's car took $435 to get fixed, inspected, and up to snuff. Though I do believe the rest of the money is going towards picking up John Woo's Stranglehold.

Speaking of my wife's car, a little story. My wife, Wendy, owns a 1991 Geo Prism. The Prism has an oddball engine layout where the transmission fluid dipstick is at the very front of the engine while the oil dipstick is buried way in the back. Since it's her car, I don't regularly check it - although I will be now since it will be our only car - but we did get annual checkups. It turns out that all of the places we've taken the car have been checking the transmission fluid dipstick by mistake when checking oil levels. Wendy is included on this blunder.

So yesterday I get a bug up my ass to check all the engine fluids. It's a damn good thing I did, too.
Oil? Empty. Beyond Empty.
Power Steering Fluid? Empty.

Blah. It's a wonder the car ran. But now it has 4 quarts of oil and a quart of Lucas' Oil Stabilizer and a quarter of a bottle of power steering fluid. Now the car runs like a champ. Today I've got a bug up my ass to check her air filter and tire pressure. If yesterday is any indication, I'm scared to see what the air filter will look like. I'd like to replace the oil filter but.. I'm not that mechanically inclined.

Ah well. In other news, I've officially made a list of games for the rest of the year which I must have or are interested in but are not high priority.
The list is as follows:
My must own games of 2007:
Blue Dragon (fully preordered), Halo 3 (fully preordered), Ace Combat 6, Guitar Hero 3, Project Gotham Racing 4

Games I'm interested in, but not high priority for 2007
Halo Wars, Half-Life 2: The Orange Box, Mass Effect, Stranglehold, Beautiful Katamari, Bioshock.

Chances are, with the extra money from the sale of the pistol, I'll get Stranglehold and with the money I'm getting for selling parts of my old car for scrap, I'll either get Bioshock or fully preorder one of my "must own" list.
