Any chance someone could summarize the story without threat of getting in trouble?

Well guys I am headed on vacation for the next week. Will check in occasionally when I can but keep me informed of anything interesting that goes on.

I will watch for you guys on our drive to New Jersey so if you see some moron in a light blue Outlander Sport waving franticly it is not some weirdo just me.

To be fair, he bounced the bottom his car HARD on something to cause that much damage to the valve and the metal plate around it. I've had the long nipple valve on my lowered car for two years with no issues; it sticks out not even a quarter of an inch. Don't try to take your car off any sweet jumps and it'll be fine.

Time off is always a double edged sword. Yes, you're away from work, vacation, relax, etc..., but everything is just building up and backing up, waiting on you to get back and be overwhelmed by the tidal wave of suspenses.

That's true. I'm in a one-deep position though. They put someone in my seat to try and hold everything together while I'm gone, but no one else really knows my job. As a result, I have 90 days of leave saved up.

Yeah, but it did look like only the nipple hit where a short nipple wouldnt. Who knows what kind of damage it would have had otherwise we can only speculate. Besides the short nipple works just fine without a tube or anything so why even bother with the long one.

Fumoto makes a little attachment for the short nipple so you can still use a hose. Costs $1 on Amazon

See, I always though the ban hammer had its own "dumbass" tracking software, and Ichi didnt really use it, he was just the Keeper of The Hammer.
