NEMOC Random BS Thread

Just got back from CT...what a crazy few days. Went down Monday...got the vette going...pics and vids up later. Gave it a bath and air out, polished some of the chrome, looks a ton better without the mold...granted it's still in primer. (BTW...Dan said to watch out for the rust...*sigh*)

Yesterday was going to work on Macy but I forgot my other jack, and no one was home (car is too low for the jack my dad has), so I just washed and waxed her. Also washed my mom's car, who was impressed that it was so shiny cuz she washes it and it never looks the same (go Rain-X Car Wash). Also the mother bought me a new pair of cycling shorts so I can stop looking like a raggie when I go cycling.

Late last night my dad was complaining about pain on his right side, so him and my mom went to the ER...at 2am I get a text after my dad had a CAT scan...appendix needs to be removed, so he had surgery at 6am. I guess it was behind the intestines and hanging or something so they couldn't do it the normal way and somethingsomethingsomething I don't understand but it's gonna be awhile for him to recover, especially if there's any complications.

Thankfully I was in CT so I could watch my sister last night when they left, but unfortunately I had to leave early so I could get back to MA for now, so I didn't get to see my dad, plus we had a big family camping trip this weekend that's probably not going to happen (brother flying in from CA and everything). So...if that doesn't happen I may be making an impromptu trip to MD with my roomie so she can update her ID and I can check out her Toronado, and I can stop at my parents on the way back. After Friday I have till Weds off, but I'm broke since rent's due Friday.

Oi vay, sorry for the long-winded post, had to get stuff out, and all the roomies are still asleep.

Sorry to hear that but hope your Dad has a speed recovery!


Also if you drive your car up on some wood (like 2x6) you might be able to put the jack under the car. Just a handy trick if you are stuck in that situation again.
 
Thanks guys.

Oh and yeah I was just way too lazy to bother. Plus the compressor (which I needed to work on the car, gotta cut something off) is buried under all my dad's stuff, so forget it.
 
Happy b-day steve! My dad (also Stephen) just turned 68 on monday.
I got him a set of 4 toned cadillac horns for his RV from the ebay.

Hope ur dad gets better Ash, I had the appendix out myself 3 years ago. Not fun.

Thanks for the birthday wishes guys and gals!

Ashley, I hope your dad's doing better!
 
I always know the general age of a person when they call it a "wankel".

Guess my car caught a lot of peoples attention yesterday at the gas station. I had 3 teenagers, 1 adult, and the teen girl behind the cash register all comment on it. I think one boy snapped pics on his phone when I went inside. Cash girl said, "That car is sooo hot." Got to love the VR 8!
