Naples Cars and Coffee

I had the chance to hit up Naples Cars & Coffee this past Sunday. It was my second time at the event (the first being September 21, 2025), and honestly, I almost missed the photo‑shoot. I decided to give it one more go and snapped a few shots before heading out. ![IMG_4125.jpg](https://strapi-jorgeiglesias-com-v3-images-bucket.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/IMG_4125_40384cebde.jpg) On the way, I spotted a handful of slick Porsches cruising in. I pulled over for a closer look, and as I pulled back into the grassy, prime real‑estate area, the spread of eye‑catching rides unfolded. As a car enthusiast, it was a visual feast: every age group, every custom build. I didn’t see a ton of Mustangs, but a few made their way into the crowd and snagged my attention. The vibe was chill—everyone proudly showing off their rides—and it was amazing to see so many people sharing their passion. If you’re ever in the SW Florida area, check out Naples Cars & Coffee. It happens every third Sunday of the month and is truly family‑friendly.

NFL Patriots vs Giants

My sister won some Patriots tickets at work, and because I’d be in town for Thanksgiving, she invited me along. It was my first game at Gillette Stadium—though not my first Patriots game. Living in Miami, I’ve had the chance to see the Patriots play the Dolphins at least once a year. But this particular game was special; it turned out to be one of my all‑time favorite games. The Patriots dominated, and the crowd was electric. My only complaint is that the experience had to end!

CP + Jamaica Trip

This year our company’s annual off‑site brought us to the beautiful shores of Jamaica. It was great to see so many of our teammates in person—and to spend time working, playing, and making memories together. We were lucky to stay at the JOIA Montego Bay Resort, where the staff went above and beyond to keep us comfortable. They handled all the logistics—food, water, shelter, electricity, and even reliable internet—so we could focus on the experience. Of course, the trip wasn’t without its challenges. We were caught in Hurricane Melissa, but the resort’s preparations meant the storm passed with minimal disruption. The only real downside? The lack of air‑conditioning on a hot, humid day. After the storm, I had the chance to connect with Jamaica’s Transportation Minister via X (formerly Twitter), a fascinating conversation that reminded me how resilient people can be—even in the face of unexpected weather. Overall, this was the easiest hurricane I’ve ever had to manage, thanks to our fantastic partners and the team’s spirit. Thank you to everyone who made it a success—and to the resort staff for keeping us safe and comfortable.

2005 Ford Mustang GT

# From “Maybe One Day” to “Here It Is” – The Story of My 2005 Mustang GT Convertible I’ve always liked the idea of a muscle‑car that still feels like a classic. When I was younger, I owned a Mustang and fell in love with its raw power, but unfortunately I crashed it—an event that left me with a mix of nostalgia and caution. Many lifetimes later, I found myself scanning the market again. I found a listing for a used 01 Mustang GT Convertible that I thought I would be buying based on messages with this particular seller, but the listing disappeared before I could even look at it, and when I confirmed with the seller that it was taken down, I was left with a burning hole in my pocket and a nagging “what if.” A quick search on Facebook Marketplace revealed a handful of options, but it wasn’t until I showed my girlfriend the options that I was looking at and we both decided the white convertible with black accents was the best pick out of the bunch. I reached out to the seller and he responded quick, asking me to give him a call. The call was good because it showed we were both serious. He gave me the full info, no red flags for me came up and we agreed to meet in the morning for a test drive. After the Saturday test drive, I signed the papers, shook the owner’s hand, and left the lot with a feeling I hadn’t had in years. The 2005 Mustang GT Convertible I’d found had 123 k miles, an original paint job, and only a few minor body‑work issues that were easy to fix. A few gauges, such as the gas gauge, were dead—a character defect I didn’t mind because it was something I could patch up. I’ve never wanted a fancy, fully‑digital cockpit or a monthly payment that never ends. The moment I spotted this car, it became clear it was a project I could get my hands on. With a 4.6 L V8, a 5‑speed manual transmission, and an exterior that was a little rough around the edges but otherwise solid, it was exactly the kind of Mustang I’d been looking for. Below is a “before‑and‑after” story of everything I’ve done and everything I still plan to do. I’ve included dates, mileage, cost, and part numbers so you can see exactly what’s gone into making this car feel like it’s truly mine. ## What’s Been Done (July – December 2025) | Date | Odometer | Service | What I Did | Parts Used | Cost | |------|----------|---------|------------|------------|------| | **7/21** | 123,610 | Air filter | Replaced with K&N RE‑0870 clamp‑on filter | K&N RE‑0870 | **$66.98** | | **7/23** | 123,610 | Rear side‑marker wiring | Installed new harness (6R3Z‑13411) | 6R3Z‑13411 | **$12.99** | | **7/23** | 123,610 | Rear side‑markers | Upgraded to iJDMTOY smoked‑lens LED kit | iJDMTOY kit | **$30.99** | | **7/24** | 123,610 | Cabin filter | Replaced with PHILTOP CF10370 activated‑carbon filter | ACF062 (CF10370) | **$15.92** | | **7/24** | 123,610 | Cosmetic/Exterior | Short antenna, wheel caps, headlight restoration | 3M kit, 12‑pc valve caps, HAOBO antenna | **$30** | | **7/25** | 123,610 | Convertible top | Replaced control switch with Ford OEM (AR3Z‑15B691‑AA) | Ford AR3Z‑15B691‑AA | **$45.69** | | **7/31** | 123,860 | Key fob | Replaced battery | — | **$0** | | **8/8** | 123,902 | Body & paint | Minor dents & bumper work; Performance White + clear coat; headlight restoration | Paint & prep | **$1,700** | | **8/8** | 123,902 | Rear spoiler | Swapped factory GT pedestal for GT500 spoiler | GT500 spoiler | **$284.99** | | **8/8** | 123,902 | Front chin spoiler | Installed 2005‑09 Chin Spoiler (black) | Chin spoiler | **$149.99** | | **8/9** | — | Interior | Shifter boot replacement (manual transmission) | Shifter boot kit | **$54.99** | | **8/9** | — | Exterior | Replaced broken cowl fasteners | Cowl vent kit | **$4.99** | | **8/18** | — | Underbody | Replaced missing push‑pins on front inner fender liners | Fender splash shield kit | **$14.99** | | **8/18** | — | Exterior | Replaced radiator cover pins | Radiator cover kit | **$8.99** | | **—** | — | Reverse lamp upgrade | Diode Dynamics 921 HP36 LED bulbs | LED bulbs | **$56.17** | | **11/1** | — | Battery | Replaced with fresh battery | — | **$250** | | **12/13** | 124,788 | Oil change | New oil, filter, synthetic blend | 6.0 qt mobile synthetic | **$40** | | **12/13** | 124,788 | Oil change | Additional filter & air filter | — | **$16.43** | | **12/14** | 124,788 | Tires | Replaced & balanced 4× Michelin Pilot Sport 4S; 4‑wheel alignment | 4× Pilot Sport 4S | **$1,124.62** | | **12/19** | 124,911 | Exhaust | Welded in two Borla Touring mufflers; checked hangers | Borla 11752 | **$950** | | **12/20** | 124,911 | Lighting | Replaced rear brake & turn signal bulbs | Sylvania 3157 | **$18** | ## Planned (What I Still Want to Tackle) | Category | Item | Details | Rough Cost | |----------|------|---------|-----------| | **Transmission** | Fluid service | Drain/fill; replace washers; road‑test | **$75** | | **Suspension** | Comfort refresh | Replace shocks/struts; add adjustable panhard bar; new upper strut mounts; alignment | **$1,500** | | **Brakes** | Full stock refresh | Front/rear pads & rotors; brake fluid flush; pad bedding | **$400** | | **Electrical** | Backup camera | Install license‑plate camera; run wiring; integrate with mirror display | **$150** | | **Interior** | Front seat upgrade | Aftermarket seats; transfer seat‑belt receivers; verify airbag connectors | **$1,000** | | **Lighting** | Light‑bar repair | Diagnose wiring; replace LED strip; reseal lens | **$60** | | **Cooling** | Coolant flush & thermostat | Drain; replace thermostat & gasket; refuel with HOAT | **$150** | | **Engine** | Spark plugs & belt | Replace all 8 plugs; check coils; replace serpentine belt; clean MAF | **$120** | | **Differential** | Fluid service | Drain/fill; RTV seal; add friction modifier | **$85** | | **Fuel** | Inline filter | Replace frame‑rail filter; check for leaks | **$30** |

My OpenClaw PC: An Oldie But a Goodie

Intel Core I5-6400 @ 2.70 GHz

# My OpenClaw PC: An Oldie But a Goodie This is the machine that keeps my OpenClaw project running. I pulled it out of the closet, where it had been sitting quietly, and gave it a brand‑new purpose: a dedicated OpenClaw PC. ## Why OpenClaw? Rather than let a perfectly good computer collect dust, I wanted to make something useful out of it. - **OpenClaw** is an open‑source framework that turns everyday hardware into an AI‑powered automation hub. - I set it up to talk to my **Ollama GLM 4.7** model and to **Telegram** so I can trigger workflows from my phone or chat. - The big, GPU‑heavy machine that does the heavy lifting for inference (a 3090, 3090 Ti, and 2080 Ti) stays in the background. - The OpenClaw PC does its job fine on its own, without needing that level of power. ## The Beauty of Spare Parts The whole build is a patchwork of parts I already had around the house: - A used motherboard and power supply from an older build. - Some extra RAM that sat in a drawer. - A 1 TB hard drive that I’d been using for backups. This shows you don’t have to buy the newest gear to make something work. An older, well‑chosen set of components can be a solid foundation—especially when they fit the job perfectly. ## Technical Specs - **Case** – NZXT Phantom 410 Series, gun‑metal black trim - **CPU** – Intel Core i5‑6400 @ 2.70 GHz (4 cores, turbo up to 3.3 GHz) - **Memory** – 32 GB DDR4 RAM - **Graphics** – Intel HD Graphics 530 (integrated, no discrete GPU) - **Storage** – 1 TB SATA HDD (good for logs, not for speed) - **OS** – Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS (stable, secure, and free) These specs are more than enough to run OpenClaw’s lightweight services and keep the telegram bot responsive. ## Looking Forward I’m looking forward to turning this machine into a playground for AI experiments. Some ideas I’ve got in mind: 1. **Test new OpenClaw plugins** – I’ll try out the latest community add‑ons and see how they affect latency. 2. **Integrate additional services** – maybe a simple home‑automation script that runs on command from Telegram. 3. **Run small‑scale inference** – I’ll push a few quick tests to the 3090 GPUs on my main rig, while the OpenClaw PC keeps the “control panel” running. The best part is that I can try new things without touching the main workstation. If something crashes, only the old PC takes the hit. Keep an eye on my updates—this system is still learning, and I’ll share the results as I go.
