Yeah...................... But what's a "urbex"? Sounds like a Dr. Seuss character.

Most likely stands for urban exploration.

Yes. Urbex is short for urban explorer or urban exploration. (Going into abandoned buildings and photographing them)

Just remember to take a hardhat and keep your tetanus shots up to date, old buildings are full of "surprises".

Oh believe me, I'm well aware of the dangers in doing urban exploration. I had my tetnis shot when I started high school, and those last a while so I should be good. You just have to be smart when you're doing it, watch where you walk, keep an eye on support beams, collapsing roofs, sagging floors, all that. Yeah it might be dangerous, but in all honesty the car ride down there is more dangerous. I figure I don't do drugs that harm my body that many people I know do, so breathing in some asbestos is my drug. Ha ha. It's hard to explain, but you actually do get a "rush" or "high" from doing stuff like this..well at least I do.

As for the Lumina, when I got to school today I opened it up to put some of my stuff from the HHR inside (since I'm leaving that today to get an alignment done tomorrow) and wouldn't you know, the sunroof in the Lumina leaked from all the rain!? Ugh...starting to regret getting that roof. I knew it would leak someday, I just didn't think I'd have the car still when it happened. Didn't plan on keeping it that long I guess. I mean, it has a lifetime warranty, but I don't know what they'll do. When I took it in a year or two ago for a leak the guy was a dick. Don't know if I can take it to another Ziebart or if it has to be the one I got it at. Heck...I could probably even just weld some sheet metal over it and call it good!

Especially since I don't drive the car in the summer....
