I'm so sorry, it was all my fault :(
I am mega doriftu, I'm pretty much perfect.
well, might as well re-ask my bitchy post that got v4 locked... does that mean I shouldn't be looking at beetles? or do I need to get some preventative coating that can prevent rust on the little bundles of joy?
Fuck... I wanted to name V5
this one is named for bradley. We'll pick up a more amazing one for the V6. LET'S GET THERE FOLKS
[QUOTE=ThermalArc;37825121]LET'S GET THERE FOLKS[/QUOTE]Yep, just 9,993 posts to go :v:
Lol Mobil chairs edition. I laughed.
I moved my supra into the driveway after work today in preparation to replace the Oil pan. Hoping I can get it done before it starts to rain...too hard. [editline]27th September 2012[/editline] Did I mention cars are heavy?
[url]http://columbus.craigslist.org/cto/3295265513.html[/url] I literally know nothing about pricing on this car, is it at all a good deal?

[editline]27th September 2012[/editline] Did I mention cars are heavy?[/QUOTE] i can sit in the Beetle and push it with just one foot out the door :v: had to push my old truck (94 chevy 1500 4wd) down the street and up my driveway, took me and my dad with a real good running start to just barely get it in the driveway.. comparatively, me and my dad pushed my brother's Audi (05 A4 iirc) up the driveway no problem a couple weeks after that when his clutch master cylinder shit the bed on him
I pushed it up a slight incline, with my sister in the drivers seat having no idea what she was doing. Oh, and I think someone tried to siphon my gas. My gas flap only opens from the lever in the driver footwell, so the flap is now slightly bent. Along with a nice big scratch on the fender flare next to the gas flap. Don't think they got anything out of it though. My cousins car managed to use a half tank of gas in 35 miles, and the little flap in the hole is bent back. :rage: [editline]27th September 2012[/editline] I slipped in some oil pushing it up hill too. :(
my dad is all paranoid people are stealing his gas so he bought a locking gas cap for his truck and the work van i'm all "but you've got a 5.3 v8 in a full size van full of tools and we drive everywhere all the time for work what the fuck" but he's convinced them damn kids are stealing his gas or some shit i don't know. pushing a car is no fun, especially solo.. especially if you are trying to push start it or something, oh god. hope i never have to do that shit
Told my cousin to get one, and I'm honestly thinking about getting one now too. I have no proof whatsoever, but I have my suspicions it's the Douche bag mexican guy who lives across the street from me. That or someone he has coming around all the time.
my goal is to get my license before page 100 february 16 hurry up!

The ones which have slight rust on them already that still have floor boards would probably only be because they were only driven in the summer. If you find one that hasn't had all the rust repaired you could always do all the rust prevention yourself though but since you've never even turned a wrench on a car nor own any of the tools I would probably suggest against it.

That or someone he has coming around all the time.[/QUOTE] did i mention he also spent like $200 on trail cams (like the ones hunters use) and another ~$100 on an IP camera because he was thoroughly convinced they were stealin' his gasssssss (and because some punk kids had come in the driveway a couple times and gone glove box diving on our cars if we left them unlocked, only took cash though.. we've got at least 5 cars in the driveway at all times and it happened 3-4 times) yep [editline]28th September 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=slayer3032;37826772]You shouldn't be looking at any which haven't had all the rust prevention done already.

I just wouldn't want to trust my livelihood to it. If I had to, I would but I would also make sure I had a few spare parts kicking around in the car with me, but that's also because my car has been abused for quite a long time before I got it.

so I'm not getting my car back until saturday because my dad's heading upstate to Winter Haven for some reason and he has to inspect it, being official beneficiary of the insurance policy and all. yaaaay, my HIDs get to collect dust for a few more days! :suicide:
HID's are, for the most part, and awful idea. They got my brother, me, and a friend pulled over in my brothers tegy...with a 30 rack behind the drivers seat hiding underneath a lazily tossed t-shirt. We were all 19, and incredibly lucky. [editline]27th September 2012[/editline] Granted my brothers car was a POS, except the motor, and from what I understand, the trans was still smooth.

HID bulbs in a halogen enclosure, are, for the most part, the worst thing ever. Plus I've got a trunk, AND the right to refuse unwarranted searches, so cops ain't gettin' dey hands on me vodkey.
The cop somehow managed to not see the beer, or if he did he didn't say anything. I swear he looked right at it. A big cube shaped black object in the foot well behind the driver, in a rural area, late at night, can only be so many things.
On the Super Bee Im looking to buy, the trunk is so big, I could make a compartment that sorta blends in for a 30 pack. lol. Yay for boaty muscle cars.
Why buy beer in packs when you can buy liquor in shooter bottles and hide those all over the car :v:
