This is the weirdest graffiti I've seen yet, if you can call writing on the disposable toilet seat cover packaging graffiti 🤣 (at Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1rD_J2A-E2/?igshid=fpdrj1l07mdh

Today is my first full day! First up: chemistry of aged beer and spirits 😎 #acs2019 (at San Diego Convention Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1oUnpVA4e0/?igshid=mpwp697f0nur

Still have more photos to post. Started into death valley at 7:30 am, mile 1674 of the trip, already at 100F by that time. Passed a sign that instructed motorists to turn off A/C to keep their car from overheating. Fucking crazy... #crystal_st #deathvalley #hotafoutside #focusst (at Death Valley National Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0_4USfA4wJ/?igshid=mfggz8o9eryj

Saw @collectivesoul at the @venturacountyfairofficial and they've still got it! Had a blast 😎 (at Ventura County Fair) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0-Bz1tAiuP/?igshid=1bf0v82g47v64

Today's classroom experience brought to you by @mountaindew because nothing can match the high octane taste of a dew! #dothedew #fordoctaneacademy #crystal_st (at Ford Performance Racing School) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0yNQJxA9Rm/?igshid=8ie40ck0s47a

So I guess they have a sort of mini museum here, which is pretty cool (at Ford Performance Racing School) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0wtWDYgRFe/?igshid=y4rfcsz328n8

Here are just a few highlights from the day... #crystal_st did a great job handling the hot weather at elevation, and keeping the A/C running cold too! Nice scenic drive, although going outside your vehicle is not to be taken lightly... I forgot to check the mileage but it's somewhere over 400 miles for today, two tanks of fuel. Not bad. #focusstmk2 #focusst #fordfocusst #valleyoffirestatepark #postgradroadtrip (at Valley of Fire State Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0r6weSg2UX/?igshid=1lpvrkblnvgke

Putting down some mileage! Currently taking a restroom break in Nevada, didn't have reception in Kelso! #crystal_st #gradroadtrip (at Kelso, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0rJ5lkAjVk/?igshid=z99bats7z9h0

Loaded up, ready to head out, mile 0 #crystal_st #gradtrip2019 #stoctaneacademy here I come! (at Oxnard, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0qZst9g01T/?igshid=cj0cgcurxif8

Since June 10, or 1300 miles ago, I've been complaining to @fordofventura that I've experienced deceased performance and surging. This was immediately following spark plug servicing as outlined in a TSB from @ford . The response I got was to bring it back if a check engine light came on. There was no offer to check the plugs it any other part of the system to identify the fault. Well, today I realized the full ineptitude of your service staff while simultaneously gaining validation that I'm not stupid. You'll never touch my car again. #focusst #crystal_st #fordperformance #fordfocusst #ford #imnotstupid #furious (at Thousand Oaks, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz_2IDcgpqt/?igshid=3k7to8n73e4k

Changing the oil in my car for the first time myself. The bolt is size 15 in Europe but 19/32 here in #merica🇺🇸 #crystal_st #focusst #fordperformance #ecobeast #amsoil #motorcraftracing #craftsmantools (at Thousand Oaks, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz9KIQOASdc/?igshid=4x4ob9q1iy4b

I tried to take a photo of my mileage for record keeping later and accidentally made art #crystal_st #focusst #accidentalart (at Thousand Oaks, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzvY0PpFisF/?igshid=1buvbjw0uyaad

Got the other half of my oil catch can system by @radiumengineering installed today. Check out how much oil was getting recirculated! 🤮 #crystal_st #focusst #newparts #fordperformance (at Thousand Oaks, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzmJ6XBlmYf/?igshid=6t31v34ldeh7
