[QUOTE=c0nk3r;47901039]So, anyone know what happened to DP?
he made that frightening post and then disappeared, i don't think ive seen him online on steam since then either.[/QUOTE]
steam's last online thing says an hour and 49 minutes ago but who knows how accurate that is
Facebook says 2 hours, but it also said that half an hour ago.
Hes alive ffs. He texted me like 10 minutes ago. Stop worrying.
He has a CB antenna on his truck now
this user on a forum hasnt posted in a few days hes probably dead prepare the funeral
Well friends worry about friends.
[sp2]Seems I'm also not important enough for a farewell[/sp2]

[QUOTE=Jackpody;47900936]He broke the ball joint. I got it sort of alright but I'll have to order a new mounting point for the star.
Whoops, merge. Anyway, he hates all of our cars but mine in particular. If he touches the blue one, then I'm going to explode.

My neighbor. He thinks they're too old and must be scrapped. Tbh I think he's just jealous, last time we owned a nice caravan, he told us to move it elsewhere as he could see it from his kitchen window and he thought it was ugly. We didn't want to stir shit so we moved it a bit down the road. Woke up to all the tires slashed. He is fucking insane.
Someone suggested I add tiny razers to the star to avoid this again. I am so tempted, but afraid he'd sue me next time he takes it out on my car.[/QUOTE]
cut the rubber off his windshield wipers then take a big runny shit on his windshield.
Might I suggest some form of Chirping insect?Lots of em release em through the mail slot and he will go fucking nuts.
Next time inform him that there are laws that state you can not own or posess a view. Then find local laws that state that and print them out. Then copy them. Go to his house every day with a nice manila envelope with the paperwork. Also incpude a letthead form with the name of your fake lawyer with a fake phone number that he may contact. Maybe give him the phonenumber of a local ford dealership or something. Every night leave him another nice neat manila envelope with the same documents.
Then mail him a letter informing him that your law firm intends to take legal action against him for not responding yo the documents they have been leaving with them. Do this from the perspective of your fake lawyer. Do not say what the legal action is. Its not a false threat if your not threatening anything. Legal action could be anything really, like crossing the street in the crosswalk: thats a legal action.
Anyway. Come up with a few letters. Mail them to him. Make sure he gets a lot of mail. This may cost a bit in postage stamps so go ahead and also request that he pay for the postage your firm has been using.
Once you got him worried about fake lawyer firm, go ahead and go to your city police. Ask them if they have any of those "your vehicle will be towed" stickers. If they dont. Peel one off another car and place it on his. I feel like this is win/win because the person being towed originally didnt want thay sticker on there. Then find out what the ordinance is on project cars. Likely t heres a law in place that says you cant have a ugly project car in the driveway. Complain to them regardless of how his cars look.
Now find out what the h.o.a. regulations are in the area. Complain to them about the color of his house and a small patch if dead grass you saw on his lawn. Inform them that you demand them to force him to make changes.
Now call the electric company, tell them your not 100% sure and could be wrong but your sure this guy is stealing power. Cite no evidence and say its just a hunch. Call the cable company. Tell them yoi think hes stealing cable but your not sure. You just have a feeling.
Then after they check up on him, continue sending your letters to him. If you see him outside casually say you have a lot of powerful friends. You asked them all to check up on him and that he better make sure that he personally watches your car and make sure nothing bad happens to it or youll be talking to your buddy in the police department. Then offer to shake his hand. Just leave tour hand out till he does. If he doesnt, turn around and go "ha! Suit yourself. Your move old man." Then walk inside. Stare at him through the blinds while you slowly close them. I feel like after that he will leave you guys alone.
Or shit on his window like mentioned above.
This is why I'm afraid of car people
Serj... you're an evil, creepy old man, and you're awesome.
I just wanted to say what we were all thinking. And I forgive you for the (I think intentional) misspellings.
you could always just do burnouts on his lawn. it's not quite as much work
I just... I can't find anything enjoyable anymore. Me and my boss constantly fight, every weekend I hook up to my enclosed trailer (converted it into a camper) and go places. Take my bike, canoe, and go disappear for a few days. I have learned afew things.... Always have DEET, water, and for the love of god don't drink the local tap water. I've already made plans to go to alaska...
And the only thing I can think about is having a partner that can share this "enjoyment".
Last post here I said bye. Tell you the truth people I just don't wish for the end. But this here interwebs is getting further and further into the shitter. What y'all have here is one of the smallest automotive communities that is generally resourceful and informative. But cant even help each other because of our differences in both era and make of our vehicles.
I don't know were I'm going with this....
Just you people better lookout for a grey chevy with 2 cb antennas and 2 american flags with a white enclosed trailer with a bike and canoe on it...
Well, enjoy the hearts and pop up to VA. We'll go shoot some shotguns while you're up here, brah.

Carry a notebook with ya and takes lots of photos
While the misspellings arent intentional its because im on my phone and its hard to go back and fix it. Also I do not recommend you do any of the above things. I feel like most peoplr within the aa know whem I am being serious or not. The funny ratings confirm I know you guys thought correctly about this.
I am dave and I approve this message.

If I see said truck rolling past SD on I-90 Ill grab my confederate flag and dig my 72 C-20 out of the shed and we will be hateful redneck truck people together and roar off slowly unto the sunset to chase the american dream.
God bless, wherever you go.

Well mang, you've got my # still if you're ever in WI or need electrical help.
IIRC you're a few years younger than me, right? TBH I think I felt that same way in my very early 20s, probably everyone does. I ended highschool on a rough note relationship-wise, and for a year and a half or so bounced around gals, then started a toxic year and a half relationship with some girl from college. GD I don't think I was in a worse mood than when I dealt with her dumb ass. But eventually that was done and now it's been a few years since I've had a 'real' relationship, and I'm feeling better for it. Yes there's little flings and stuff, but that's more to appease the girls that seem to want them. I hope that doesn't sound stupid, but between my friends and work I do, both at my job and on the side, I don't care to get into a relationship, nor do I have time for it. Any girl I'd date would legit have to breathe and dream cars or we'd fall apart in a flash. It just becomes a part of your life you don't mind not having, once you stop looking for it/ longing for it.
I share all of my precious moments with my friends and myself, and I'm fulfilled for it. That's not for everyone, maybe I'm a weird dude, lol. That being said, when I'm out in a big city by myself or something I do consider it'd be nice to have that partner you speak of, but it's kinda like wishing I could eat a tasty steak every day. Yes, it'd be cool, but circumstances would need to change for it to work or anything! So, to sum up that nonsense, everyone wishes for a partner in their own way, but if you become your own partner that's when you really enjoy those stoic moments when you're alone and get to enjoy your own thoughts and stuff.
If you and your boss are fighting a lot, unless you REALLY REALLY like your job.. consider doing something else. There's plenty of jobs for people who are talented and aren't lazy, so do a little looking around, or if you're got a good network of people find something in that grapevine. I've had times at BestBuy where I was *this* close to quitting because of management things, and that's a job for a career that I live for. It's not worth waking up every day to go to a job you can't stand if something else is available, and it's not worth thinking nothing's available if you haven't looked. Be creative on the hunt, too, like finding ways to squirrel into something truly remarkable.
I dunno what brings me to this thread to take a peek every evening, but the people are mostly interesting and have a nice spread of projects to check up on.. it's like watching my friends' projects in town progress, but instead they're just people online instead. I dunno, kinda cool. It's true that we're all rolling different cars, so experience and 'common problems' don't roll over entirely, but I guess it's more about just shooting the shit than using this forum to find answers.
Anywho, good luck out there man. Find a reason to live for and pour your heart into it, whatever it may be.
I need some help! My family has 2008 Hyundai Tucson 2.0 and the batttery is dead.
Do you guys know any site that could tell me the CCA and AH of the original battery ? Nothing is written on the battery. Kinda odd
I need one of you motorheads to help me wrap my head around something. I've got a 2014, 1.6L Diesel Golf, and it's a beaut. Goes real fast and shit, zoom zoom zoom.
These past few days, I've been driving at 3am or so, and I've met this little cheeky cunt in a smallish car. It looks like one of [URL="http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/uploads/cars/vauxhall/5065853.jpg"]these[/URL]
The first time I met him, he pulled up alongside me and his girlfriend wiggled her finger at me and they shot off down the motorway. I was doing 80mph in the left lane, and when he did that, I laughed, put my car into sports mode, and overtook the guy at around 140mph (he was speeding up so I couldn't pass him so I just booted it).
More recently, just a couple nights ago, I met him again, but he completely kicked my ass. No matter what, I couldn't seem to beat him, cause he was way nippier in the shorter term, and he took corners like a madman. I'd slow down near corners cause I kept feeling like the car would spin out, but I'm pretty sure that's just my inexperience, and the car would probs stay firmly on the tarmac.
Anyways, he shot away and I couldn't catch up, so I gave up and called it a night. But since then, it's been on my mind constantly. How the fuck can such a small car completely destroy my 1.6L Golf in Sports mode?? Especially since it looks like he has a real old model.

it's a group 124R battery and what's looking like 600CCA and 60AH for the OEM battery most replacements that I could find are 670-700CCA and anywhere from 55-72AH

MY 1.6 LITER IN SPORT MODE.
your 1.6 diesel, supposedly only makes 105hp or less.
that's not really a lot. it also supposedly only pulls to 120mph..
the corsa is a whole lot lighter than your golf too.
the corsa has around 150-200kg on you, that helps a whole lot.
shit, so it's just a matter of weight? even though my engine is bigger and the car is newer? fuck.
how do you know your engine is bigger?
the corsa comes with a 1.6 too, which makes more horsepower than yours.
[editline]8th June 2015[/editline]
also he could've done an engine swap and be running a 2.0 or even bigger.
you'll never know unless you ask him.
can also be your driving, but i'm not gonna encourage you to push past your own limits on the street.
I guess it's just my ignorance, I figured cause my car is much bigger than his, and he's a lot smaller, with an older model, he'd have a 1.2 or something. he's pretty fucking good at driving so I wouldn't be surprised if he's changed his engine up a bit. one of these days, who knows, might pull over and chat.
my driving is decent but yeah I tend not to just go mental like he does, cause I don't wanna endanger other road users. only time I really go all out is at night time when it's just me and him on the motorway.
figured one of these days i should go to a track just to get a better feel for the car.
[editline]8th June 2015[/editline]
btw where did you get the 'it only really pulls to 120mph' fact from? genuinely curious. I'd have to agree, but if I keep it in 3rd gear, it's still decent at acceleration up til 140mph. I beat the guy on long stretches, but on shorter routes, he usually takes off like a bullet.

3rd gear to 140mph?
proof or I wont believe that one second, wikipedia says the more powerful 1.6 diesel pulls to 119mph.
are you sure you're on about mph? if you say kmh I'd believe you but 140mph in 3rd... nah m8. not even long geared bmws pull to 140mph in 3rd.
[QUOTE=Psygo;47904498]3rd gear to 140mph?
proof or I wont believe that one second, wikipedia says the more powerful 1.6 diesel pulls to 119mph.[/QUOTE]
maybe not 140mph but I know for certain it got to 130mph, before I swapped to 4th.
dunno how I'd prove it, but if I end up on the motorway tonight I'll do it again to see if I read it right.
take a video... I've never heard of a "regular" car that pulls past 200kmh in 3rd...
