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

[o0n8]

We no longer get paid out for our un-used PTO, so no point in keeping it.

we don't either. Maybe I can take a day or two just to work on the MSP. Sounds good in theory but that never happens.

Drop Kennedy off with the in-laws and take a long weekend with Amber.

You do have that roof rack permanently attached. Why not use that for it's intended purpose instead of being "eye candy"?

i put a bike on that b**** atleast weekly... its not just eye candy. and waht are you suggesting, strapping the tree stand or deer on the rack??
that all well and good, still a MESS and still lack ground clearance on the trails

Wow. Totally just saw a blue P5 with bright yellow wheels and spoiler. If there wasn't a cop behind me I would have a pic of it lol!

did it have a whole bunch of yellow stickers?

 

[XCLR8TN]

Was it yours?

I'm not saying it wouldn't get home, but that a truck makes it easier. Also, every time I see a Raptor I get all excited, just something about their presence on the road.....

not mine... I've yet to even see a deer when I'm out deer hunting.

did it have a whole bunch of yellow stickers?

maybe. She was going the opposite direction

bored at work, Here are some pics and a listing for the new 3. The rear doesn't seem as bad to me here but the nose does look really long at that angle (bottom pic). Same dealership also has an i model and the 16's look tiny.

and it might be just me but at the back between the rear door and the hatch seems like it would be a big blind spot.

hmmm, kinda sounds like a guy that always shows up at the Mid Ohio corral and never buys the ticket

So, the first leg if the trip was a success. We made it from c-bus to pigeon forge in 7 hrs 15 minutes, including a 45 minute lunch stop. 10.5 gallons and 400 miles running 75 mph with the a/c thru the mountains. There's a fun little road, st rt 411, that we'll be using quite a bit that's really fun. Pretty curvy and hilly. The scenery around here is great. Can't wait to get the nice camera out the next couple days.

I guess you didn't want your mount back.

Would anyone be interested in going to Dragway 42 this evening?

IMO the hood is too long and I agree on the blind spot, it has to be huge. Not a fan of the 3. The 6 however is a different story, big fan.
In other news Jen stopped at Park Mazda in Wooster and looked at CX5's. Nothing like looking at cars about a year in advance of buying one. She was chock full of info about them too. I guess she spent a little time talking with a sales person.

Met will & his dad today. Also saw chip working like a Mexican as well as looking like one, lol

Ran a 14.5@100.5 MPH. I could probably get a couple tenths quicker with more practice.

It's dragon day!!! I had a warm up yesterday on st rt 411 from Seiverville to Maryville. Had a couple of locals, hopped up civic and mustang, that saw those mazda taillights get farther and farther away. I'll have an update and some pics hopefully tonite.

 

[XCLR8TN]

Oh yay! I get to take the whole rear suspension and subframe out as a whole! I can't wait!!!!

/sarcasm

Why, Jess?

Phen finally gets to drive the ms3 = ) he and I with Marlon following along in spicy are at mm 206 on I80 heading back home from a fun and exciting weekend of racing at LRP.

just got my Cleveland pd update and saw there was a meteor showing over Columbus at 1130pm Friday night. Bright light as it hit the atmosphere lasted about 30 seconds. Anyone of you cbus meeps notice it?

Happy Sunday! Hope y'all had a nice weekend.

Not really sure how this happened because everything was torqued to OEM Mazda spec. It's the bolt that is welded on top of the subframe that is the mounting point for the diff (vertically).

Some friends and co-workers saw it but I didn't see anything that night.

Cleaned the garage some this week. Got one of the Camaro fenders on the shelf but decided I want to build so shelves higher on the wall for them so they are more out of the way. Also sprayed them with some black Rustoleum where any scratches in the e-coating were. I pretty much painted the entire driver's side, it was on the bottom of the crate.

pics for fun!
