Speaking to credit: my dad has an enormous credit line that you could purchase a new luxury car with. Pretty sure he used the hell out of it, paying everything on time of course.

Off topic: WHAT THE FLYING FUCK. Dad's flight supposed to land at 9:02. I got to the cell phone waiting lot at 8:55 ish. Dad calls at 9:10. From the airport of origin. Ten minutes after I left the house, the flight turned around due to weather conditions at the destination. Now I'm sitting here waiting to figure out if I need to stay here, come back, or leave and try to make the most of the night. FUCK.

Is it bad if you come from an upper middle class household and you wanna aim higher? Why do people get mad at that? I wanna reach for the impossible, its what us greeks are known for baby.

Dear Mr Weather,

Just because I got my 86 does not give you permission to piss down with rain.

Thanks

Monkie

Nope. I'm lower middle (IMO, though I live in a very wealthy area with much wealthier actual upper class people) and I want to live even better than I already do.

Man shit, how did splicing 2 O2 sensors and putting them in take me 3 hours 40 minutes? Guess this is why people buy nicer tools.

so, i got food poisoning, stupid taco bell. I swear id never eat there, but my nephew wanted it and i can't say no to him.

My story gets a little darker, last year, i started a new job. The week I was scheduled to start, was the week my mom lost her battle with ovarian cancer. When I met this girl, i was devastated, mourning, grieving, and generally vulnerable. Im not sure if she consciously took advantage of that, or if it was subconcious, but the fact is I think I was blinded by just having someone to relate to in that capacity, but she provided me the opportunity to escape from the darkness for awhile. It took me a long time to realize what was done, but i always look for the good in people.

Still havent gotten my FRS back

Yes, it is. Then again, when things go wrong they can go very wrong. I took close to five hours to change a thermostate one time. It required popping the hood, removing two bolts, pulling the old one out, putting the new one in, putting the two bolts back in, and closing the hood. By the time it was all done the thermostate housing had larger holes, the intake manifold no longer had blind holes, I was down two taps & a small round bastard file, and my drill still wasn't charged. After that, I never again worked on a car on a Sunday if I needed it to get to work on Monday.

Now I understand why you want to get rid of her so badly. Keep on keeping on man.

I have a random question.

For using brake ducts, you run a duct to the rotor. However, you have to run it to the back of the rotor, and the duct cover plate is in the way of any cool air reaching the rotor-- would you need to remove that plate?

This morning I thought I was so damn awesome because I remembered to pack my toothbrush and my comb, and only now, 1000 miles away, do I realize that I left my phone charger at home...

Time to buy another one, just for this trip, and probably never get used again
