Trouble Maker

Weren't we just talking in the chatbox about you getting your dick wet, how you go about doing that, causing drama for you? Not surprised one bit about this situation. No, I don't think you deserved this or anything, just not surprised something like this happened. Are the police not doing anything? It wouldn't surprise me, especially for 'only' $300... but it doesn't piss me off any less. How does the gas station video confirm he stole the $300? Or does it just confirm he was the one that dropped off the wallet?

Brady, thanks for the consideration. I've known Bill for a while and somehow didn't realize he had opened up a shop, so if we have someone else do this we will be taking it to him.

Sent one back, thanks Bill!

^^ What are those from?

Maybe I missed it, but does it not have a (mini) HDMI output built into the phone? I always loved that idea, leave a cable in my car and if I'm over at a friends I can hook up my phone to their TV. Rent a movie, stream whatever.

Ya, he just made this one up to make friends too. :lolguy:

So, they are replacing OEM parts, most of which probably weren't bad with probably inferior aftermarket parts?

IIRC, you only have to take the wheel off to get to the sensor so it's not like you would be saving that much labor over doing it later.

I wouldn't knock through the road hybrid tech too much. Seems like some very good possibilities of improving performance. http://www.autoblog.com/2011/12/07/we-try-hondas-cutting-edge-electric-sh-awd-system/ http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2011/12/10-honda-sh-awd-opt.jpg

That’s definitely a possibility. I will let you know if he decides to go that route.

Yes, this is an independent shop that my parents have used for other jobs before. It's weird, sometimes they will do a job for very inexpensive, as in, how did they do it for that cheap? One time they got a few hundred dollar job done and they just didn’t charge for the oil change that they also did. Other times it seems a little high. My parents figure it balances out when you are talking about smallish jobs. I guess I need to tell my dad to get an actual quote from them so we can understand their cost. I'm guessing he only got a verbal quote from them. Can anyone suggest a shop to go for another quote, preferable on the NW side of town?

So my dad has this truck that he noticed a really bad noise on. He took it to the shop and they said it was the timing chain and it would be $1400. I thought that sounded a little steep, but I don't know what all is involved in this particular car. He's going to get other quotes, but we trust this shop so I don't imagine any other place will be very different. How hard is it to do the timing chains in this truck? I suggested we could just do it, but neither of us have done a timing chain job before. As long as it's a typical timing chain job, we will be fine. I don't want to have to drop the engine or anything like that though. We just don't have the time and it's probably not worth it. It's a base 2WD with 160kmi and he only spent $3k on it a few years ago. It's just a truck to haul stuff. It's probably only worth a few grand at this point so he doesn't want to dump a ton of money into it. Any thoughts?

No need, kumbackkkid totally made up that story to make friends... ya, that's what happened.

Why in the bloody fuck did you bring this worthless piece of the internet back up?

Are you talking about comebackkkid or his old 'boss'?

I kind of wonder what that speed is in relation to, i.e. from when it took off from earth or relative to the sun?

It takes a pretty fast vehicle just to leave the earths gravity. http://www.universetoday.com/34051/escape-velocity/ But to escape the Suns gravity around the same distance from the sun as the Earth is, it takes around 4 times the speed to escape Earths gravity, at Earth. Once Voyager was very far away form Earth, it's mostly going to have the gravity of the sun to deal with, other than when it passed by Jupiter and Saturn. That is until it was very far away from the sun, like right now. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escape_velocity#List_of_escape_velocities

It looks like someone forgot to wash you hands.

I have a guy we work with at AXA, highly suggested by friends and we've liked him so far. Might be worth it to go in and talk to him or even anyone at any investment firm?

Since they don't require certifications he should have no problem.

I know of this proofreading job you could apply for in case you need something else.

Really? I too thought No One could sell 120 minute in Ohio due to the laws; too high ABV for something that's called beer. I got it in Delaware (state), when I found it. At the most redonkulous liquor store I've ever been to. http://www.atlanticliquors.net/

The first time I got a bunch of dregs in mine, way too much to be considered reasonable for secondary fermentation. And the beer was sour, I think because of this. I didn't even finish the bottle. The second time I had it was at a tasting and I got to try 2 different kinds, it was very good. I meet one of the guys that runs the place too and he was really nice. From what I've heard from others, at least in the past, they had problems with consistency. Maybe they've gotten that figure out by now?

From what I understand many of the mid-model year changes weren’t always a hard date or VIN. When you get near the cutoff on both sides, there can sometimes be a car which doesn’t follow the rule. Your car is early enough that I would say it’s very likely an aluminum knuckle car. Bu it’s really easy to check. Crank the wheel and you can easily see the knuckle. You should be able to tell just by the way the metal looks, but try to stick a magnet to it to make sure. Aluminum is not ferrous therefore a magnet will not stick to it, but will stick to a steel knuckle. Could save you some heart ache of ordering the wrong one.

Well, in theory we would always have a fund once a car gets older for a newer car. But we are just starting this and we have a fund for 1 car, but will need to replace 2 cars in the next few years. Once we get into a good cycle of replacing cars not at the same time it should work out fine. The why doesn't matter, cars getting wrecked or just dying, they will both need replaced soonish. So that’s a financial wall we are trying to figure out regardless of the why. We always have other liquid funds we can use if needed, but they are not earmarked for a car. Worst case, we can always get a small loan but I would rather not every have another car loan.
