Minor Confession Thread

I rigged my works secret santa. I have myself. I think I'm going to get me a nice bottle of bourbon. I'll be so surprised I know myself that well. 

In reply to Mndsm :

I told my dispatcher at work "You give me that old-ass piece of E36 M3 Cadillac, I'll rip your berkeleying head off your shoulders." I did not have to work on said old-ass piece of E36 M3 Cadillac.

I just became "that guy".

I spent way too much time cleaning my brake calipers with wheel cleaner.

My entire office is currently being run of an extension cord. That is also powering the tools to rennovate the electrical system. 

Its way sketchier than it sounds. 

The biggest complaint is no stereo.....

In reply to Woody :

Its all back up and running properly with wall outlets, circuit breakers, and oversized romex for the amperage load. 

I even got the new smoje detectors sort of hung last night! *have to replace the mount rings that are screwed in. Thats tonight after dark.

I always buy myself a gift, usually Harbor Freight related then act like "who got me this?"  It got old 10 years ago.   

Might have done a thing.

In reply to MrChaos :

I think I might have done the same thing given the opportunity.

I just spent an absurd amount of money on crazy good coilovers for the Miata. Like, half the purchase price of the car, and mine wasn't no $500 GRM special. But, hey, they were on sale. 800lb/in front, 500lb/in rear spring rates, here we come!

I like the pops and crackles the exhaust makes.

In reply to MrChaos :

Is that the bright pale blue color those come in?  That's an awesome color.

yes, I dont buy black cars, the red just didnt work on the car, the white is meh compared to the blue, also the seatbelts are the same color.

In reply to MrChaos :

Good deal?

I would say so, the dealer had it marked down to $27.9 which I would say is good since it is a PP car.

Explain to me in vivid detail why it sucks.

Confession:  The thing keeping me from buying a Model 3 is that I hate the touchscreen-smartphone experience and I wouldn't want to spend 2-3 hours a day driving one.

I test drove a brand new M8 Competition yesterday with no intention of buying it. 

I went to a Ford v Ferrari yesterday at 9:30 . . . a.m.  Dinner will now be at 3:30 p.m. and I'll be going to bed at 7.  I'm old.

I'm thinking about buying a rolling chassis for a body I was going to sell a few days ago. I have problems. 

A couple of my most recent purchases are a DOHC-swapped '88 CRX Si and a 19 year-old 180k mile Cadillac DTS with rust, scrapes, and some fairly inconsequential broken E36 M3. I got the CRX running, registered, and replaced the very broken exhaust, but I don't enjoy driving it. I don't really feel motivation to work on it or order more parts for it. The nostalgia that led to buying it hasn't been enough to keep me motivated.

The DTS is what I've chosen to drive almost every time I've left the house since I bought it. It is quick enough, rides very well, makes good noises, and the seat fits me very well. I'm enjoying it for the same reasons that I enjoyed my Broughams in the past. It seems to have a bit of soul, oddly enough. 

I feel spectacularly dirty typing this on a motorsports forum, but I know what I'm going to drive if I choose to leave the house today.

In reply to Powar :

Meanwhile my Deville looks like it will need actual work to get it back driveable so I pushed it in the corner and went back to picking at the Caprice.
