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

[thejeans]

thats the only issue I have had with my dd is the door won't latch so it just bounces off and flies back open. Have had to catch it a few times so it doesn't hit someone's car. But I still can't get the trunk open and its really pissing me off

hmm I have a neon so no... I think of it like a bic lighter when it breaks or runs out of gas you throw it out or light it on fire and watch the remaining fuel explode

so is it a Bic Lighter DD or do you want everything to work... lol

I started the Bavaria yesterday... open downpipes. Heh.

My driver's door lock is frozen. Had to unlock it by going in the passenger side door.

Oh its cool it closes eventually not too worried about it. I just like to be able to use the trunk. As long as it runs I am a happy neon owner lol. The looks you get when you start up a cold neon with solid motor mounts and trying to close the door 4 times is hilarious. Other than the glares I get from the gf while I'm laughing at her embarrassment

just being a smartass haha. Ive kinda gotten to that point with my 3. as long as it runs and gets me from point a to point b, alot of the other things dont matter anymore lol

 

[pmartz16]

Nope not at all. My baby sits inside while I screw with the neon. I know jess will cringe to this statement but I love to beat the s*** out of it and romp on it. The car is actually fun. in the ms3 I always feel like I'm going to break something, the neon I just don't care lol

 

[tweiss3]

So its now -4, feels like -29 out. Hard to believe it was 30 this morning.

 

[pmartz16]

I walked 75 feet from my department to Westfield Bank with my hand out of my coat pocket and it was frozen to the point where it hurt. I was outside maybe 25 seconds?

You do that and I will personally come over and beat your head to a bloody pulp. I can't get the pink font to work on my phone, but that was going to be brown anyways. Black+pink mixed because I'm half serious.

ALL of the owners have beat the s*** out of it. ALL. 200k neon is like superman.

WHoo I know right. she takes it like a champ. I won't light it on fire she is a peach in my eyes as she wakes up every morning reliably and gets me to work and gf's house and back home so I am happy.

My MSP looks like a hatchback with a cosworth wing on it because of all the snow on it. Slowly started, but got here warmed up.

 

[XCLR8TN]

I tried shutting the miata door 3x before I realized what was going on.

 

[bigsho]

Made it home. 25 min drive, oil temps and coolant temps never got to normal. LOL

Mine finally moved after 11 miles into my commute home tonight. This is what the car said it was when I finally got to leave.

I guess we back under level 3. Went out to go warm up April's 2 and everything is solid ice. They can't even lay salt over here because it just makes more ice and makes it worse.

 

[pmartz16]

Its too cold for salt where I'm at. The roads aren't bad you have to slow down sooner when coming to an intersection but thats about it. I was still doing 35 in a 55 because its cold so people think their car will explode if they go the speed limit?

I drive on the turnpike in to work in the morning and they've been using the calcium chloride liquid deicer so the road is completely dry, yet people are still driving incredibly slow.

 

[pmartz16]

No kidding that stuff still turns the road white and the roads are rough with tarmak where I live and at night its really hard to tell if the road just has that stuff on it or if it is snow covered

 

[princess peach]

yay weather...

1. The sheriff's office is closed, so I'll have to call them about rescheduling the appt for my CCW...

2. The truck has no antifreeze in it, apparently its just (or mostly) water so, it frozen. I have no idea what this does to my water pump...

 

[pmartz16]

Trying to get some credit so I'm not a loser college kid without anything. So I try to use Bill Me Later and get approved for $801. So I commit to buy something and use it so that I don't have to pay all the money out at once. Well kind of embarrassing is that it declines me... :/ But if you have an issue BML and Paypal customer service is really nice and really helpful and I can understand them. And they fixed my issue PP addy was Road and BML addy was RD and that threw it off.
TLDR: buy something small first to get kinks worked out then buy something big
