Sooo.... It's supposed to be spring time, when warm rains and mild breezes help flowers to bloom & trees to bud, all to the soothing sounds of birds singing. Nope, we're expecting up to 1.5 feet of snow and 100 mph winds. Fuck my life.

I've got cherry blossoms and daffodils on the West Coast...

I can shovel snow. I can even cut up and burn fallen trees. What I can't do is live in a place that would be ok with someone who would spit on a service person & call them a baby killer while that service person marches in a parade through the city streets. That's what happened to me during the Victoria day parade in Victoria City in 1999.

That and the fucking burn outs that drive there would drive me insane. 20kph below the limit should be grounds to be shot. In Victoria it's normal.

Then there's the udder fear and confusion of seeing a person crack a bear at 10 in the morning on a Sunday after they got off a five hour flight from Halifax. What the hell else would you do?

But the kicker, the thing about the west coast navy that just did me in, was when I was working on Protecteur for a few weeks to finish off some training. We were along side for the weekends and sailing during the week. One Saturday I was working in the engine room and was tasked to paint a valve, for four hours... My response was to ask if I could fix it instead, seeing as it wasn't operating. My boss looked at me like I had three heads and asked if that was possible. Well, after I finished testing and installing the operational valve I was pretty proud of myself. My bosses reaction, "But you still didn't paint it." Fuck him, and fuck their form over function west coast navy.

You can double the snow if I don't have to deal with that shit.

I'll trade you if you want.
We're supposed to get rain here in the next couple of days (a chance,anyways) then it's gonna be in the 70s range again.
I loveeee the snow and I loveee the rainy weather.



As a side note, Christmas came early today.
After my grandpa died and my uncle died (many eons ago,I didn't even meet them), my grandpa's brothers sons took the heirlooms that were supposed to be left for my dad.
After 50 years, that side of the family finally forked it over. Before they did though,they rubbed it in our faces that they had the pictures for that amount of time.
SEE YOU IN HELL,MARTY.

So, um... tell us how you really feel.

You're just jealous of the cheery blossoms, right?

Heh...

In truth, I'm from the Frozen North and have anti-Vancouver rage somewhat daily. You think driving in Victoria is bad? Try Richmond. Where I work. It's bad enough that I, an avowed Supra owning know-it-all car geek, have not driven in over a year. Seriously. Uncontrollable road rage.







But cherry blossoms > all.

Hmmm well yesterday I was driving down one of my favorite scenic mountainy roads, and 2 assholes in an old Camry were too scared of turns to go through them at more than 10mph...they never pulled over to let me pass, in fact a BICYCLIST cut into the opposite lane over the double yellow line in a blind turn and overtook both of us.

I tailgated the crap out of that Camry, but I'm pretty sure my following distance was still within the 2 second rule since they were doing <10 mph LOL.

hey guys I need your help with something, so I was having my fogs installed when we ran into a problem.
We need Extra Harness Pins, to make a new harness with your h11 connectors
http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=34169

chriscross_tnt mentioned in the comments (pg 3) that they got a different harness and than modified it? Its all way over my head, so I'm having a hard time understanding what he means.

Or should I do what tonystewart did (pg 2) and just order from tweakedperformance?
http://www.tweakdperformance.com/onl...&products_id=6

I was hoping I could find a shop near me to buy this item (The sooner the better)

Also, say if I order it, what exactly do you do with the pin once you have it by itself?
I wont be doing this work myself, I just want to make sure I'm getting the right thing, and have a basic understanding of whats going on.

Thanks a bunch guys

What exactly are you wanting to do? Install a button or switch?
I'm sorry I'm retarded.

That's pretty cool , I'm actually wearing my Gas Monkey Garage shirt that my best friends parents bought us when they visited the restaurant two weeks ago.

I wanted to do a stalk swap instead of a button on the side dash..if that was what you were asking.

Really trying to quit smoking. I already stopped smoking in the car which has helped and I'm using my Kanger EVOD as needed now. Down from a pack a day to 8 cigarettes in the last 30 hours. God this sucks. Health benefits were/have never been my concern but I'd rather piss away $240 a month in parts vs tobacco. So stressful though :mad:
