Don't you hate those videos where some dimwit drones on for 20 minutes about how she didn't know anything about clothes hangers?

 

Well here are 2 solutions (I hate the word "hack") that I thought were pretty useful, if you're ever in that situation.

Have you ever seen someone in a choke hold and they're gagging, choking, pulling on the guy's arm as they're just about to get the life choked out of them? It's pretty disturbing, especially if it's your wife doing the choking. But I digress. Anyway, I saw a video recently where a medium sized guy was getting choked out by a big guy. The medium guy calmly pulled out his lighter and started burning the big guy's elbow. Problem solved in about 1.2 seconds. So always carry your lighter with you.

This next one doesn't happen often, but it's still a pretty innovative solution to a time sensitive problem. A lady was traveling by plane and checked her baggage, but somehow missed her flight. As she saw the plane pulling away from the gate, she figured out how to get the plane to come back. She called in a bomb threat. The plane pulled back up to the gate impressively fast. Unfortunately, they didn't let her on the plane. On the plus side, they did get her luggage off of the plane.

Anybody have any other useful hints for getting through problems in life?

First scenario, if the choker knew how to do it, you'd be out in under those 12 seconds.  

Second one, great way to get an immediate entry pass to prison.

Looks like they can't flush either.  Unless that is what your city water looks like.

Don't forget to dress the part tonight, you want to blend

I told my chick I was gonna wear a 5xl t-shirt and a Suns jersey, gym shorts and slide ons.  That got shot down, QUICKLY.  I then told her for every jersey I see,  she owes me a drink.

She'll probably have to tell me tomorrow how much fun I had.....LOL

THX.

Somehow I volunteered to tag along with my chic to an old school hiphop show downtown tonight.  I'm sure it will be funny.  Either the performers, or the audience..

I built this car in 2013. I've had a great time with it, but the kids are grown now.

It was built for comfort and simplicity, I'm 6'3 and fit fine, anyone can jump in and just drive it like a regular car.

Seats 4 SAFELY - there are no sharp edges or dangers in the back seat for the kids to bear.

I have $45,000 worth of parts and labor thrown into it. It is definitely not a show car but looks pretty good and does what it is supposed to do.

This is an overview of the build...

6" over Front Beam with 2.25x1 over front trailing arms and combo link spindles

Aluminum Tie Rods with heavy duty heims

Rack & Pinion Steering kit with electric power steering

3x3 rear trailing arms

Reinforced axles with Lobro 930 cv joints race tuned

14" of full travel front and rear - actually balanced and functional

Neutral Ride height 11" from ground, 4.5" at full bump and 18.5" at full droop

Fully built 091 with Weddle rack and pinion, Weddle Gears, Geared for good balance of off road and street driving

2.4 GM Ecotec with Mitsubishi turbo, custom tuned LE5 supposedly 250 to 300 hp depending upon how you measure it

Griffin Aluminum radiator w/ overflow bottle

Kennedy Stage III Pressure plate

Tuned King Shocks all 4 corners

Tatum disk brakes - Both Left and Right Cutting / Turning brake

Wilwood pedals and master cylinders

Electric power steering

Great tires and wheels

15 Gallon Fuel Tank

It is as street legal as they come. If you've been doing this for a while you know there is not really any such thing depending upon the cop that you get.

Top Rack is removeable, Canvas soft top is fully removeable and customizable for windows or sun shade, etc.

Fully Caged and PROVEN - I have rolled this car several times, once at about 70 miles an hour. No significant repairs necessary other than fixing blown tires.

I have driven it more on the street in the past few years than offroad. I have NEVER been pulled over or challenged. Of course, I'm sure the day will come.

I'm looking for a decent offer, I do not need anything else but more open space in my garage so no trades please.

Clean Title Car, tags are good, current, paid and up to date through 2022. You do not need to smog this car for registration and transfer.

I'm in Camarillo, 93010

If you have questions or would like to have a look, please text (805) 946-0566

How 'bout a price?

Oh, the first world problems.  Better start making you boating plans now fellas...

$550.  This is WAY more engine oil cooler needed for even the nastiest boosted engine.

The core is 15.5x11.5x2.5.  The HUGE SPAL fan is the extra height. If your boosted ride struggles from heat soak, this is the ticket.

I was gonna put this behind the bumper of my stroked TBSS, but it won't fit...

My co-worker's dad just pulled a couple Kirkey's out of a Cobra replica.  Model #47500.  Has padding, but a touch faded.  $350 for the pair.  Located in San Tan valley (BFE far east Mesa, damn near Tucson), but our shop is in Tempe near the airport if that is easier..

eta..they aren't using the belts, so those could be available too.  Use the contact info in the CL ad.  I'm not the middle man for negotiating.  I'll help line up delivery though.

That is pretty tall.  I made some assumptions....

My chick and I just hung in the pool with a few cocktails.  She may have been overserved... LOL

Or just for a mobile mechanic.  Beats laying on the ground.

I'm wondering who buys enough stuff from adult emporium that they need a big ass van to deliver it???  LOL 

 

One of our vendors is in the same commercial building that Castle Boutique has a warehouse.  Says he finds some real interesting stuff in the dumpster.  LOL

This requires a story, feel free to embellish and lie profusely during its telling...

So, a bullet hole....

My GF was running errands a couple weekends ago, which included running her car through the carwash.  She comes home telling me the car was spitting water at her through the seatbelt hole in the B pillar.  I was like "huh.."?  Walk out to the car, and can see there is a dent in the roof.  Hmmm...  On closer inspection, it appears a mariachi special landed on her car.  Didn't go fully through, just tore the metal.

Carvana buys cars too.

My gf is thinking about selling her car and just drive my POS '00 Civic for a bit to save some money.  Carfax offered her more that KBB, and is has some body "blemishes"...bullet hole in the roof..lol

Cummins has a locator by ZIP on their website.  You select what branch.

My mind goes to a welding shop. Specifically one that does cylinder exchanges. Maybe they would know what you need?

Probably best for same day sale, but they are available online. 3/4-16 is also the thread for a -8 AN fitting.

Not keeping the gear indicator?

Went to the Denon sight and clicked the boxes for what I was interested in, the suggested unit was $4k...loL  Found much more reasonable ones just cruising the site though.  Thanks for the recommendation.

Sooo..

I what need is a "tuner' or "amplifier" for my current set up. 

I have a great package for my space.  A JBL Studio tower set up with plenty of bass (4x12"  wall powered woofers..like plug the speaker into the wall.) and appropriate mid/highs.  Just need something to run them again.

I've had two different units run them over years that have taken a dive.  One Pioneer, and one Yamaha.  Just looking for something to piss the neighbors off with again.  Ya know the saying....Roses are red violets are blue, when I listen to Pantera my neighbors do too.

Policy says provided tests are an option but they aren't.  We have to go track a place down and somehow provide proof that we took a test.  It's on paid time but it's still an obvious passive aggressive punishment.

Sounds like you just got 4 day work weeks.  Or, 52 extra vacation days.

Used for about 30 minutes, and realized it was too small to shed the heat from a 6.7 PSD at 100% load...  Includes 210* thermo switch.  Holds 2 quarts and has a HD Spal fan integrated.  In PHX.  $600
