I used to use my duffel bag for my supplies for autocross, bit of extra oil, tools, water, etc. A bottle leaked and soaked it in oil so I threw it away. As luck would have it, I need that bag for a trip. Maybe I can use a garbage bag as a suitcase.

I forgot to call up and cancel my sirius subscription before it auto-renewed at the normal rate. Every six months I go through the routine of cancelling, then waiting a day or two (sometimes during the cancelling call lol) to get another great offer (like $25/6 months). This time, the date snuck up on me, and I got hit with the full amount for 6 months, which apparently is a hundred berkeleying dollars!
Great, since my snap on bill came out today, I now have -$55 in my checking account=/
Have I said before how much I hate living check to check?

The Bug-aru build is so close I can taste it, sort of like right before you throw up.

There is one wire that runs from the ECU to the starter solenoid, and then to the ignition switch "start" position. Each has its own wire, and for the sake of having easy-to-remove modular harnesses, I don't want to splice the engine harness to the body harness. So I need two male spades where I only have one (at the solenoid). I could try and start it with a temporary band-aid fix, but I'd just as soon do it right.

So I'm waiting on delivery of a $0.20 electrical terminal so I can test an engine swap which I've invested ~$1200 in.

Apple,

Why must you make a different charge cable then anyone else to charge your stupid phone which about a billion dollars no matter who makes it and then falls about 2 weeks later?

end rant/ I do really like my iPhone and it is the only phone that has lasted more then 1.5 years in my ownership but the cord pisses me off.

The WHOLE hellaflush movement...........its gay.

Case in point

We are dealing with a whole new kind of retard here.......step 1, acquire taurus......step 2, join the forum complaining about the lack of any "stance" support......step 3, add sawblades.......step 4, as normal, post pictures of too low to use for anything.

According to these 4 steps, this guy is a complete retard and proof the hellaflush movement is stupid

And I can't find even one when I am looking.

You want it? It needs work, it's leaking pretty much everything, and the exhaust is poking out of the hood.

If I call and you agree sell something to me at your asking price, I procure a trailer, take time off, and call you to say I'm on the way . . . Telling me it may already be sold will not make me a happy person.

Ugh. . . I hate CL sellers.

I'm a rather stoic person. Quit thinking I'm pissed at you. In addition, shut up and listen before we do it kindergarten style.

Sounds like my Peugeot except for the exhaust sticking out of the hood. I do want it but probably shouldn't.

Well, the leaking is the bulk of the work needed i think. It runs a little weird, but it's just a sensor issue that i could track down pretty easily.

I have a few FCONs laying around that could take care of getting it to INSANE power levels.

No. That is not gay. A gay man would not be caught dead driving something like that.

The sad thing is, that guy spent all the time and effort......I'm almost positive its not even an inch lower than my '91. You can't get these too low without reverting to 15's.....

Minor rant:

If you call looking me looking for parts, you don't put me on hold to talk to someone else. Just call me back.

I've been listening to this guy's conversation with someone else for the last 10 minutes

Why did you put the E36 M3tiest intake system of all time on one of the best motors you ever built?

GM didn't build the MB OM617.952. But they did put the intake on the engine in the most unreliable vehicle ever! (Enter former Buick Aluminum V8 now the Rover V8)

My ESP is going off on Kenny McCormic's next rant "Trolls on GRM Forums"

We actually had a guy who does buisness with us haggle over $2K on the price of 4 units he was buying,

while we were standing in his personal airplane hanger,

next to his plane,

and jet,

and 2 helicopters.

His second in command said, "Maybe we should have done this back at the office and not at your personal hanger sir."

berkeleying squirrels ate my extension cord that runs to the electric fencer that provides the only incentive for my dog to stay in the yard. When she stays in the yard she chases the squirrels all day. It seriously looks like the squirrels are trying to let my dog get out so they can have some peace.

I hate having to rely on other people for tow vehicles. I really need to buy another trooper, a diesel truck, something.
Looks like I'm losing out on the mr2 because people don't answer their berkeleying phone when you call them eight times to coordinate something.
c'est la vie, life goes on.
