[QUOTE=DPKiller;51979171]Damn your passenger side is identical to your driver side. Amazing how stuff wears evenly. [sp]kek [/sp][/QUOTE] [del]Yeah, 'cause a CV joint/boot is obviously a replace once a month type item...[/del] Nevermind, I fucked up.
Heading up to Hesperia today to pick up a 2001 Suzuki Bandit 1200 from an old friend. $800 and all it needs is the carbs reinstalled. The (freshly done) paint job is hideous but hey, that's what plastidip is for. I'll never understand why people want skulls on their motorcycles.
[QUOTE=Gulen;51979150] Passenger's side: Boot is almost entirely on, but as you can see by the massive amounts of grease under it, it's leaking out. [/QUOTE] Time for a new mechanic by the looks of it. Those don't even look like new boots.
[QUOTE=Slithers;51979248]Time for a new mechanic by the looks of it. Those don't even look like new boots.[/QUOTE] Unfortunately it's like choosing between a giant douche and a turd sandwich around here. He's one of two mechanics within a reasonable driving distance and he's the better of the two. Those are new though, that's just how stuff gets after a while.
[del]Norway aint that big just take it to Lars, he will fix u right up.[/del] Never mind. Your fucked.

Look. At. What. I. Saw. Today. [video=youtube;QW7peXY0a9k]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QW7peXY0a9k[/video]
Thx RockAuto for the refund on the pump that was defective and that I accidentally also damaged. That $53 is being turned around immediately for plug wires, door pins, and an ABS sensor
There's a guy in my neighborhood who's had a spotless, bright red SSR for as long as I can remember Every time I think he must've finally gotten rid of it I see it cruise by my house same as it's always been I don't think I've ever actually seen one on the road, just that one
Went to a car meet last night since it was nice and warm. Saw some pretty slick cars including a tuned viper. Most people split after an hour to go to "Mexico", but they ended up going to the same spot as last time and the cops busted them before any racing could even start. Why people insist on going to the exact same place every week still baffles me.

should try mississippi. you could get blind drunk and do donuts in front of the station and the cops wouldn't notice [editline]18th March 2017[/editline] and even if they did you'd get off because they don't show up for court dates

Whenever the SSR is mentioned, I always think of the one being sold locally on Kijiji a while back. Complete with custom tiger airbrushing and "Yorkie Hauler" on the back. $24000 Canadian pesos. [url]http://imgur.com/a/Rp72T[/url]
[QUOTE=NO ONE;51980631]Look at dis guy using a PT Cruiser as an actual car. [sp]I'm glad your gf enjoys the turbo (you put one in I recall??)[/sp][/QUOTE] Comes stock with a turbo. [video=youtube;5BQeM8pyvRw]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5BQeM8pyvRw[/video] She used to drive a '96 Ford Taurus. This is way more practical and stupid fast. We'eve agreed that I will be upgrading things as time goes on. Bigger exhaust, turbo, and so on. :)

Went for a drive in the mountains today to relax. Once I got away from the traffic, it was niiice. Haven't gone on a cruise since ~October.

Shit I still keep up with some of the people I ran with and it's even worse now on facebook none the less "oh it's mexico time!! ........4 comments later Mexico is lower wacker, Strats etc etc......." are you fucking kidding me
[QUOTE=evilweazel;51972340]Or anything with any worthwhile range either, heh![/QUOTE] New Model S 100D has some nice range (not my picture... unfortunately): [t]http://i.imgur.com/nva7im9.jpg[/t] That's 344 in freedom units.
Replaced my other strut. Now the car actually feels like a Subaru. So damn sporty. However; My trailing arm bushings are shot. Should i replace entire arm using factory style unit, or go with a pillow ball style unit? The ball unit is cheaper ($80 vs $115 for both), looks better, etc. The bushings alone are $30 each, plus tool to press them.

Hell, on my way home from tonights meet (after almost getting hit by a drone) I saw at least 4 sets of cherries and berries between the spot we were at and the interstate. To put it in perspective, that's less than 2 miles. Not done with the weekend yet though, got a cars and coffee to go to in the morning.
There was a Z car meetup in town today. Never seen so much police activity.

Drove fine, and nothing happened, but I'm concerned. Fortunately, I have a full warranty on it, so no biggy

If I had to pay ~5-10$ now at the supercharger vs the 4-8$ at home or w.e for 200 miles of range I would still be saving quite a lot. But now have a giant pain in the ass because there is only 1 supercharger near me and only 1 designation charger. I would get one without a doubt after the model 3 makes electric cars even better and more affordible driving people to put up more chargers. Riiiight after I build a turbo ls gas guzzler.

There's a couple chargers in most parking lots around here, usually see one or two model s a week. Model X's however seem pretty uncommon.
feels good when you go for a 500km+ trip in a 20 year old shitbox and nothing goes wrong
