What have you done to your P5 today?

[808MP5]

fix it... not too expensive and very simple

 

[dxaveP5]

yea, but its a bummer that it happened right whne i got my drive belts, motormounts, and my new Escort 8500 X50 radar....and its freezing cold outside. and mad windy.

 

[aMaff]

car isnt running.....cooling system messed up...i think my thermostat is broken.

Wait... so like it won't even run for a couple minutes? Have you tried cranking it to see if it runs? If so, how well?

 

[dxaveP5]

no its runs but the because the thermostat is messed up, coolant isnt being ran into the engine. and all the hot coolant just goes back and forth from the engine top hose to the reservoir...and the engine overheats. so i cant run it because it could cause damage to other parts, and lead to damaging the actual engine itself.

 

[aMaff]

Yeah I know how a thermostat works.

What I meant was if you had a cooling problem and the engine didn't run, it means you probably seriously overheated it, warped the head and did god knows what else.

But if it will run for a bit (running it for a couple minutes is fine, the thermostat wouldn't even open regularly with that cool) then you're likely in good shape.

Warning! Billboard approaching. Did the wind split awhile back but it's always hidden inside the mask...but look ma, no chippies, at least very few. This pic minus the bespeckled front bumper from the 60 miles of freeway each day that would otherwise be there is why I tolerate it. It's a trade off. I can always bust out the coolness on nice sunny no hispeed travel days. As you may be able to tell, the fogs are naked thus chipped & siliconed shut-spares in garage & will stay there until these no workie no more. Pixeliciousness eh?.......................

This is gonna be my new sig or avatar, not sure which.....

 

[aMaff]

You should have posted a bigger pic.

 

[i12drivemyMP5]

I did. You must mean huge pic like the lifesize fathead wall deco in my office. I'll have to use panoramic assist on the cam. It's a TX thing lol.

BTW, it's a 69 megapixel cam, it's impossible to take small pics.........

You know we have the technology to resize these things now right? Often with a single click!

LOL, cam connected to the reserrected junk 1ghz laptop that couldn't open the pic because of memory (who got some pc133 big laptop memory modules??) & hasn't been connected to any of the 6 other PCs that can open it & haven't even xfer'd them thru the air to the other PCs mostly due to shear laziness & lack of time due to building new pad & project overload /time constraints holidays & s*** like that, yeah but..............I'm as aware of that click click clicking as you are the workings of that there thermostat floomadotchy contraption yo. lol. lmao reading that

 

[aMaff]

wut

 

[dxaveP5]

^^^ im on the same boat as you are.
i got lost after the first sentence, which was up until "yo"

 

[justanothermp5]

loaded my vw engine into the back of my p5 today, with the tranny and everything

my car had no clearance at all lol like 1/2 a pinky in between the tire and the fender
got it out now, should have heard the way the suspension was creaking when i took it out lol i thought something was going to break for sure

 

[magnumP5]

Just realized I have some condensation in the driver's side headlight. I've head these headlights since last June and this is the first time. It was exceptionally humid and rainy today so hopefully it will go away... Not likely...

fix it... not too expensive and very simple

It's a three step process;

1. Identify the problem.
2. Fix it.
3. Repeat as necessary.

It's a TX thing lol.

So all of my pictures need to be twice that size?

Would that be an Alaska thing?

(nuts)

 

[fremast]

Twice?
Not nearly enough...
lol

You could probably get by with it depending on the geographical intelligence of the audience. Generally AK is associated with last frontier type cliches where TX is the everything's bigger bulls*** but yeah, go for it!
