Minor Confession Thread

In reply to Stampie :

My dad failed on that front too. I had to learn from Jay Leno.

My son found a 20 minute Youtube video of highlights from 11foot8.com.  I watched all 20 minutes and laughed, a lot.  I am a bad person.  

My parents, born in the 19-teens, used the phrase, "That's a doozy" for something that was a pretty big deal.  I didn't figure out, until far too late in my life, that the saying was, "That's a Deusey"

I may very well have learned that from Jay Leno.

In reply to Streetwiseguy :

First thing I asked Lil Stampie was hasn't he heard "That's a doozy"?  Nope he hasn't. Double fail on Dad. 

In reply to Stampie :

Watch that first step, it’s a Doo-o-o-o-o-zy!

Schadenfreude ist die schönste Freude, sometimes.

I just saw a grown ass man get scared and jump on top of a table because of a large bug crawling on the ground near his feet.

I laughed at him.

Car insurance telemarketer called me. I had some time to waste so I decided to see what they could tell me for a quote. I got disconnected part of the way through listing off 4 worthless 80s and 90s E36 M3boxes for some reason...

I've done that with the extended warranty people, yeah you can get my 87 RX7 coverage,  dial tone comes quickly 

I'm more nervous about pissing off the 70 something year old Catholic School teacher mother of the groom than I am about actually doing the ceremony tomorrow.  I plagiarized, err "took inspiration from", a great ceremony, everybody loves it that has read it so far, but she still doesn't know I'm officiating. It's not like I see her all the time or have a kid in her class, it's just getting to me.

I do that with them too. One of them will finally give a plan for my '87 GTA I know it.

Confession:  Don't check out eBay while non-sober.

I may have accidentally bought a turbo for a car that isn't running yet.  But hey it was $200 shipped.

In reply to Knurled. :

I wish that's all I did while non sober right about now...

In reply to Daylan C :

Hey, it might get me off my ass to finish the Quantum.  Because K24-7400.  If it's good enough for a 8.5:1 compression 2.5l 20v 5cyl 3800lb car (teh R), it should be more than awesome enough for a 7:1 compression 2.3l 10v 5cyl 2800lb car.

Really starting to think living in an RV in a 100'x50' metal building wouldnt be too bad.

I rented a pressure washer to clean up my patio. The confession? I kinda wish I had bought one instead...

My F-I-Law got me one of those $100 Coleman 1200psi electric pressure washers that are really 90psi when Builders Square went out of business.  I’ve hated it for 20+ years.  I used it last weekend and put it back in the box thinking I could sell it on clist or fbook for $5 or $10.

Yesterday I quietly put it in the garbage.  Yes, I’m filling the landfill but I feel really good about it.

She cried. I win.

I was completely juvenile leaving the car meet. Like, did a burnout. And it made me giggle. 

In reply to Dusterbd13-michael :

What were you driving?

In reply to AngryCorvair :

The miata. Torsen works!

Not sure anybody's gonna be upset about a Miata burnout. 

In reply to Daylan C :

Its obnoxiously loud. But does great second gear burnouts! The club guys dug it. And it was the back of an empty parking lot  so relatively safe

One of the main reasons I like having dogs is I like having someone get really excited whenever I walk in the door.
