Automotive Addicts Lounge V4 - Lube my pistons, baby

Well... idle hands strike.
It all started last night on the couch, surfing craigslist for a car for my friend who wants a new "fun summer car". I found this ad for a pair of Celicas;

Fast forward to my day off today, I slapped 4 new struts into my Corollabortion today, after I toasted the seals in the old ones by undercoating it but not wrapping the struts. Undercoated the strut shaft isn't a good idea, go figure, lol. I didn't have much else to do so I texted the Celica guy about coming to see them. He said OK so I made a lil 2 hour drive. I was hoping I'd get there and go "nope, these a fucking horrible."
But the 'good' one was really good, like mostly rust free, should be an easy body restoration. The guy told me $1000 for both of them delivered to my door. Ummmm, yes please. Soooo unless something falls through I guess I'm going to own a pair of Celicas.

Fingers crossed.
[QUOTE=Strontboer;50974404]Think that's bad?
I have to pay a sum of about 900usd because I forgot to extend the suspension of my vehicle. (suspended meaning it's not on the road so you're not required to insure/pay tax/have it checked)

And, forgot as in : They send a letter some time before it expires. (I didn't get the letter)
I mean sure, it's my responsibility, I am indeed at fault for forgetting this. However does the punishment fit the "crime"? Not really.
I'm actually better off robbing someone at an ATM to pay for my fines and do some community service for my "bad behaviour"

I rember reading that,they still went ahead and nailed you for that?Man what a backwards system where you are penalized like that.I mean I can understand if you were driving it on the roads and got caught but you wernt breaking any rules.
My chrysler is registered in my name and I have storage insurance on it as part of my rental agreement with my apartment building to store it here.My registration will never expire and If I found another spot to park it I could have 0 insurance on it at all.
You only really need insurance and registration here to drive on the public roads.
Who's got the next thread?

Reserving for link to new thread.
On topic of car stuffs, I believe one or more of my wheel bearings are going. That or my diff is starting to make a noise on acceleration. It's kind of a low whine, gonna need to look into more of it. It would fucking suck if my diff is going because I have to tear the trans apart to get to it. If I'm gonna do that I may as well get the seals and clutches too.
Saw this on the highway today

Tomorrow is the yearly rear brake replacement and caliper lube on the Blazer. Hopefully the last time I'll have to do this.

AAL V5: How the Fuck Did Stoner Get the Cursed Mopar From Eyebrows?
So I thought the fuel pump was the issue. It wasn't the fuel pump :v:
At least now I know it's either the starter or the flywheel. I'm gonna replace the starter and hope it's not the flywheel :\
v5: I didnt directly participate in the death of another
