Went to Macco to get a quote for bondo work and repainting for the right fender for the 300ZX. They quoted me $600 and that i would have to buy a new fender. $600 for an easy paint job like that? Basically an $800+ job, that's half the price of the car. Go down the Queens and got a quote for $250. What the fuck? Macco is supposed to be cheap and decent five foot paint job.

Yep. And for more perspective I earned $130 a week back then so it was over 1/2 a weeks pay.

Grrr...why are all BRZs on craigslist in my area Limited? I don't want the space invaders texture interior on the FRS, but I like turn key start, don't like the factory spoiler, and will never use the heated seats.

Rest assured that after the first week you won't even notice the pattern anymore. Or a few dollars in vynle and all is golden

Does the BRZ premium have alcantara seats though?

I bought the limited for the seats, keyless entry/start, climate control, and I think the spoiler adds needed definition to the back of the car. I've had Subaru cloth seats before; the alcantara is much nicer.

You remember when you were a kid and your parents wouldn't let you eat an entire cake for dinner?

Well it turns out that they were right the whole time.

There's so much cake...

Pulled my hamstrings while playing soccer. Never pulled it before, so when ppl say it's painful & so on I thought itwas total bs.

Well, I'm wrong... or I'm just weak. Either way, it's not fun

Uggh... Wait until tomorrow.

Prescription strength ibuprofen comes in 800 mg tablets. The regular tablets are 200 mg. Just sayin'.

Worse part to that is, I can't take strong pain killers. My body cannot handle it so well (throw up). When I injure myself, I just suck it up & take the pain... but bite few blankets lol

Advil? We may have a different view on what constitutes a "strong" pain killer. I do know what you mean about the nausea but that is usually with narcotics.

I get no stomach upset if I just eat something before taking the advil. Everyone's different.

If you're using ibuprofen, it is definitely helpful to eat something first. Also, you need to stick with the recommended schedule. Once it starts to build up in your system it becomes more effective.
