Clay bar magic.

The enlightened followers of this page knows how much i like my car . I was reading in many forums (e.g. vwvortex forums) that clay bar was creating miracles on the body detailing of your car. I don`t believe in miracles I have to see it first… I went to some auto parts shops to [...]

What else do you need?

Sysadmin just stepped in and told me this story This user gets a password and complains to him that it does not work. So numerous times they change the pass and still same thing. (Oh we have a fairly complex password structure. ) At last he steps in to sysadmin`s office with his manager. Sysadmin [...]

Attitude sux…

Yesterday we went to lunch to Kaz Bistro-sushi in I street, somewhere between 19th and 20th st. It is a cozy place and good food (I`ve been there before). When I was deciding what to eat, I needed some advice from the waitress. But I guess she though I wanted her soul or something… What [...]

VW service. :P

Ok I`m sick and tired of writing my car`s stealership service horror stories. But they [alexandria-vw.com] are not tired of doing BS service job on my car. So the car went to service Saturday morning at 8:30AM. Because same problems happened Friday night again. Same old story. An Alexandria VW classic. No good technical service, [...]

Updates on my car.

Since my car went to the service because of the same problem three different times, and they replaced several parts (Temp. sensor, throttle body, etc…) and those replacements did not fix the problem, they changed whole EMC.

Robot builder Emre

So yesterday we went with sleepless (she wants to be called like that ) to build Lego mindstorm robots for a summer training program for teens in the Catholic University. The goal of the bots is to catch a ball and drop it to the other side of the obstacle. The obstacle looks like this [...]

My car is in the service again.

My lovely VW GTI 337 is in the service again. This is the 2nd time in a month that it goes in the service. First time it was for a malfunctioning Temperature sensor that was causing rough idleing, stalls on idle, CEL, EPC, ASR lights turn on, sputting like a tenthousand years old Dodge. Now [...]

New defense scenario against machine invasion…

So poor Neo is fighting against the rise of the machines in Matrix. He`s the spiritual leader of the mankind. Flying, kicking ass, moving faster than bullets, (faster than jackie chan) jumping from one scyscraper to another… But who needs that for fighting against metal mechanic robots? I`ll tell you one thing, just spray them [...]
