The Ohio Random Thread... aka We Should Probably Be Working

Morning everyone....Karen should be ready to be picked up tonight after work! :) I talked to the guy yesterday and she was going to be painted last night and he was going to crawl under and take a look at fixing my rear subframe issue. Apparently the car is too low for his frame rack (oh, you should have seen the look Tam gave me when I told her this...lol) and both racks with ramps have disabled cars on them...so he is literally crawling under it. haha

Oh...almost got hit this morning on the way to work in my father-in-laws car. Took a detour thru a parking lot due to an accident on the road I normally take. On the other side of the lot I was stopped and waiting behind a Mazda6 to make a left onto a side street when the guy throws it in reverse and whips back to his right. Thankfully I had enough time to put the Saturn in reverse and back up and that noone was behind me! After whipping around the guy sees me and mouths "watch where the eff your going" and speeds back to the other end of the lot! I shouldn't have moved and let the a$$ hit me...then have him explain to the cops that I was in the wrong....idiot!

/end rant

Ah, so they are going to make you earn that extra money eh, Phen?
 
sounds like me today

dipshit in a truck pulls out to a 2 lane road im in the left lane and hes going to pull onto the right lane but in so comes halfway into my lane right in front of me.. i gotta slam the brakes and lay on the horn and then the fugger has the nerve to put his window down flip me off and tell me to learn to drive... LMAO
 
Yeah, on these back roads I have to drive to get places.. I'll have people who see me coming, yet slowly pull out onto the 55mph road and casually accelerate. Now I have to slam on brakes to not hit them or go around them, and they flip me off or yell at me as if I'm just some asshole rolling through.
 
Don't you just love the peaceful morning commute....bah....damn good thing I don't have a permit to carry! lol

And sorry to hear about Whitney...hopefully the damage isn't too bad. Might still be worth it to call insurance....my P5 was estimated to have close to 2k worth of hail damage a few years ago....of course the deductible sucked, $500.

I know exactly what you mean and that annoys the s*** out of me. If you are going to pull out in front of me and know that you are cutting it close then get up to speed and drive. At least then I know you have some common sense and realize the actions you are taking.
 
well I don't have a story about getting hit this morning but I haven't had much luck with fittings and aluminum. The vaccum block I have has bad threading in on hole maaking it useless and my 505 intake mani has not been cooperating either. powdercoating got into the edge of the holes for the fittings, tried to take a box cutter and scrape off the little bit as instructed but the fittings are still being stubborn.
 
Limited notice alert. I'll be wrenching in the garage tonight. If interested in joining, hit me up.
 
well, re-threaded the holes to get the fittings in and it worked! untill I got to the last fitting and the head broke off leaving half the fitting in the hole. I have to figure how to get that out and get a new fitting. I'm quiting for the day before something else gets screwed up.
 
Wow , lots of sad and depressing news up in here. Sorry to hear about your bad day guys. Good thing that tomorrow is FRIDAY! Thats a good thing right? On another note I just got home with my wheels and tires, Enkei RS7 17X7+42 w/Dulop star specs. In the ad on here (Mazdas 247) it said mint condition, that was no lie they are just about perfect he only used them for autocross. I am a happy camper!
 
Congratulations! Can't wait to see them on, Larry! Especially because I am looking at maybe getting a certain set of 17 inch, seven-spoke wheels made by the same company--not the same model as the RS7, though--with fresh tires as well....
 
Friday...

"Friday..." Holy hell I watched the whole thing. I guess I was hoping for something to happen. Not sure what, but something.

Schweet!
 
Yes it is. Just like a car accident I couldn't look away. Waiting for an explosion or some gun fire anything to make it all better. I think I just got punked!
