This world would be better if it never came back online

I would gladly go back to grey fingers from perusing the Various Trader (Auto Trader, Parts Trader, whatever) if it meant no more Facespace.

It's a total piece of sheeyit.

But it works.  Should last long enough for a couple of jobs.

It’s locked up. Overheated. Yea it’s a J35 with a pretty big turbo. Apparently it had 390 to the tires. Not positive about that, but wouldn’t be surprised 

The owner reached out the day after I posted, just took a few days to make it happen 

The ratio is pretty wild haha 

Perfect power level is:

Way Too F*cking Much - 1 = Perfect

I’m more impressed with the reaction time coming up with a plan and implementing it. 

Looks like both cars held up well

Nah, remember they are squareheads from Minnesota, they are more into Lutefisk, or Tater Tot Hotdish.

I’m picturing something serving nothing but sausages and brats. 

When’s the rumored In n Out going in?

I'm sure I"m not the only one...

But I'm having trouble even bothering to vote.  The hopelessness of it is palpable.

LOL.  If only it were so simple.

IMHO, they lied to you.....They have no current plans.  They have plans.  They didn't spend 6.8 Mil as a land investment.  They will go slow and steady.

Gordon's already has an RV park and Long-Term Storage, a restaurant and a "Parts-House."  MY BIL thinks it is better to leave his stuff down there, rather than drag it from the LA area.  As a side point, if something breaks, it doesn't get fixed till the end of the season.

1st Step....get the zoning changed

2nd step....get their heads together....this may have already occurred and it may need to occur again.

3rd step...???

Yep. Like a frog being boiled in water. 

Also, the steps are wrong, see below explanation:

Whole thing looks stupid ! Ill be over to add some KISS Army deacals so the neighbors understand an actual biological male resides in the house.

Over rated peg board that will just be home to a bunch of your man Bun Scrunchies......A clean white "garage Fridge" which will houze your soy milk and frapachino / pumpkin latte spice mix and to top it all off a hanger rack that will hang your mountain bike and new spandex cycling shorts that you will use to run around OC - driving all the other bearded jackazz man bun dipchits nuts because you don't even know how to ride!

My suggestion would be to ask the installers if they could build you a small shed in the backyard that is painted all white  to use as a place to just sit......Reflect AND ....THINK and really medatate and figure out what the EFF you are doing !

AND NO.....I cant tell from the pics that there is a hint of beige in the flooring, goes great with the butcher block counter tops........

Dear God!!! :what are you saying.......It sounds like you went to see Joana Gains remodel a house and in true Hipster fashion are taking it out on this poor Garage!!!!!!! WHERE IS DALE ???????? WHO Kidnapped Him ???????? Call 911 .....Call 911...........wait, this phone has no eleven !!!!!    OOOHH, an this little ray of hope..... "The floor is called Dolphin Gray "  say that 3X fast with a lisp and man o man you can see where the EFF this country is headed!!!!  YIKES!!!   ........Paging Dbart,......Paging Dbart ........Clean up in aisle 9 !!!!

You may need a trip to the sand OR maybe it might be good to have @Mac slap you upside the head........I just wanna know,.......Where the HELL is @dbart......... 

GEEEEZ, You really hit this one out of the park!!!!

 

Sinceely,

@dbart One place you can gain some space is to turn the water heater support into a bin.  Great for shoes/boots/whatever.  

Also: you box?

standard Dell "work station"???? 8M of ram?  LOL.

LOL, my dad worked on the software for a high speed printer for HP 15-ish years ago.  Used up most of 4 Xeons and something like 256GB of ram to run the math...  That was 2D printing...  

Jeeeeeeesus, the software and math makes my head hurt thinking about this.  The amount of adjustment needed as the metal yields, and the rate they're moving...  Yeah.

I have a love / hate relationship with Auto Flush toilets

 

What the hell are you doing that even puts your keys over the bowl?   

Noted.  

I leave a set in the motorhome in a hidden spot for reasons like this.

Though I never would've thought "flushed down a Buc-ee's toilet" one of the likely scenarios until now.

No - fast food only unfortunately, Drive took a lot longer than expected.  Sucks, I was looking forward to that place you suggested...but didnt get into El Paso until 10pm

Shitty. 

Always next time. I’ll stop by there on the way back this summer and post pics of what you missed

Made it home...40 MPH head winds and I was getting 7.5 MPG with the rental Tacoma on the first day - truck struggled to do 60. Day 2 it went up to 9ish doing 70.  I've been looking for Hurricane 228 for a good deal for a long time and saved a ton of money by doing this long trip...Laned in Houston at midnight Friday, picked up boat and drove to El Paso - arrived around 10:30 PM...Because of the wind and slower speeds - and taking longer than I wanted with seller, I ate gas station food that night.  Woke up at 5, made it home around 7PM. One tire blowout but I had a spare.

El Paso wasn't that bad...I had no idea how big of a city it was.  I'd park there again for the night if ever doing one of these runs again (hopefully no time soon, it was brutal).

 

 

That headwind can be absolutely brutal coming back. Even worse if it’s a crosswind at that speed. 

Get any BBQ while there? If not, prayers sent. 

Every year we complain about the washes. 

But that’s where we always go. Tradition.

Weight and gear ratio has a lot to do with it, as well as intended use.  Most builders should be able to specify something based on all of the above. 

Have to be in San Diego if you're buying it, then putting it in?  Lots of online vendors, etc, that have good track records and helpful staff.
