Here's all the fun I've been having!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!
Looks as if it's been repaired once before. look how short the pipe is between the cleanout and the coupling, where it should have been one piece. also, root.
Ive decided to dig out farther to see what's going on
shows that it's actually broken after the clean out at the 45 degree bend.
the whole clean out piece can be removed by hand!
PLEASE DONT FLUSH!
digging continues
hey! i found a gas line! it's green!
what's cool about the gas line is that they lay it with a thin copper wire.
before I knew it was a gas line, I was tugging on the copper wire. lol
they bury it so that they can find the gas line later with a metal detector and have something physical to pull
you can also see my patch work of ground clay on the 45 degree bend!
I also believe that the gas line is what causing the drain pipe at the house to break. it's odd that the two pipes are sitting on top of the other. I think the gas pipe is causing the 45 degree angle to slightly raise up putting pressure/stress on the pipe towards the house.
"I TOLD YOU NOT TO FLUSH!"
shows how far i dug in order to choose the best course of action.

Wow it's weird/cool to see the different engineering standards you guys have down south. Up north, everyone has their clean outs in the basement because we deal with frost, with the line running directly from the basement to the sanitary sewer underground. New houses have back flow prevention valves so in case the sanitary line outside backs up, it doesn't flood your basement with shit and piss. Old houses don't have that, lol. Service line breaks never generally happen here though. The beauty of having your service line 10ft underground- until a tree root breaks it

Again, engineering standards, I thought canada and US used yellow for gas lines. Looks like its different down south. I learnt something new today. Cool!
Why does it look like the gas line is tying into your service line?
Or does it just go underneath it? There should be some separation between the two so they never rub. You don't want anything happening to the gas line like it did with your service line!

Fuck. I want a Lexus RC-F. 467hp of awesomeness. 
Although an M3 is likely the "better" performing car, I like the quirky looks of the Lexus. Plus, the lack of the douche bag stigma that is associated with BMW is another plus for Lexus

Sup nittttchhessss..
I think I'm going to go to med school so I can serve my community bc these scrub ass doctors here should have their degrees used as toilet paper, pretty worthless imo.
Flip.. You can score a pimp ass system for 1500.. I thought you were all about the budget system. I'll reply in home audio thread.

A part of me is considering the Lexus NX for wifey when I decide to retire the Sonata. I can't get her anything nicer because she won't take care of it anyway 
A part of me makes me want to force her to drive the sonata until it dies a horribly painful death. Don't get me wrong- the car has been flawless in terms of reliability to date, however, her lack of taking care of the car drives me bananas. DON'T EAT CRUMMY FOOD IN THE CAR AND LEAVE CRUMS EVERY WHERE AND DON'T SPILL YOUR COFFEE EVERYWHERE AND JUST LET IT DRY UP 
It wouldn't bother me so bad if she would at least take it to the car wash and give it a quick detail inside and out. Nothing fancy. Also, I think they started putting magnets in the curbs anywhere she parks. I dunno how else you can curb the wheels so much

1) You're a man and married her. She no longer cleans up her own car, you should know that. Betty always tells me she used to clean her own car yada yada...hasn't happened on it's own in 8 years now. I always do it, she'll just help dry or do the insides.
2) Getting her a more expensive car won't make it feel better to clean the crumbs out of. Just accept that that's what she does and be grateful it's all easy to clean up compared to curbed rims and bad dings.

If you saw what she's done to the tires/rims, I bet you wouldn't be saying that. It's not a light grazing- There are chunks of rubber missing out of the sidewall and the rims look like they were hit with a hammer in some spots. I've had two tires replace on that car from having the sidewall damaged so bad.

Dude, you have no idea how much food and garbage she leaves in the car. You could feed a family of 4 of that shit. And that's bullshit too- she never took care of her cars before we were married and she never did after either. She's not a princess- she can pick up a vacuum- it won't kill her. I'm not asking her to polish the car.

So...you guys are admitting defeat and going :ghey: then?
Accept your fate. Keep it clean for them. That's the only way, especially if you're married, the loss of equity and constant desire to change cars because old/dirty and not maintained will fall on you too.
