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

i get to the point i get incredibly bored with my car, convince myself to part out and save for a new toy, then i drive the car and all conviction to part out is lost haha

 

[WillD]

My only problem is I don't have enough money to do all the modding I want to

 

[thejeans]

^ kinda my issue, everything else i would/could do is going to run atleast a grand or not really give me any benefits so ive hit the modding plateau... i think thats why im kindof a wheel *****/paint my wheels once a year hahaha

 

[PrinceValorum]

My problem is that I have delayed gratification too ingrained almost, so even though I've taken the time to save the money that I allotted for the parts I wanted to get, I still feel like I need to wait longer to get them. I guess it could be worse, but it makes it hard to get anything done... I guess that goes along with the professional procrastinator in me.

I battle that one everyday myself. I can get a stupid deal on anything, but then I remember I don't have a car payment AND I love ripping around in my car.

I call them mental health days. Thats when I call off from work and either chill at home or do something fun. yesterday I called a mental health half day because I have to much stuff to do be for this weekend.(bang)

 

[03zoomzoom]

Today starts my 5 day weekend before I start the new job.

 

[hat1018]

5 day weekend? I only get 4

 

[Perro del Sol]

Just trying to get as much done as I can before taking the next two days off.

Yeah, I was just given another project yesterday that is adding unnecessary mind-*****. I say unnecessary because it's not a difficult product line, but the entire project is spread across 3 separate entities of B&W, so... One part is done in our service company, one part is done in the OEM side (where I am) and the third part is being done in our Houston office. It's a total mess.

I swapped my wheels yesterday (put the Black MSR wheels back on to look sexyyy) and I noticed something leaking from the passenger rear. I also noticed there's a stain on the driveway where I park.

Well....when I was swapping that wheel, I investigated the mysterious leak. It looks like it's coming from the strut :'(

Here's where the drip comes off the car and onto the driveway:

Does this mean the strut is blown? I believe Chippy had this issue, but I couldn't find his posts or pictures to compare.


-Thanks

Beyond blown man. That shock is going to do next to nothing soon enough.

yeah what he said, its time to replace and i wouldnt wait long to do it

 

[Evan9999]

I'm pretty much broke right now (screw you Akron tuition!!!) so I'll probably just get an oem replacement, or whatever's cheapest. Do I have to replace both sides, or can I just do one? I normally don't see FS threads where they're selling just one side.

This is great timing, looks like I'll be a passenger for the fun run on Sunday.


Thanks for the info guys.

You'd be fine if it recently just started leaking, just don't drive like a jackass.
