My first job in college , my work car was a golf cart.. The guys before me had disabled the speed limiter in it so we had loads of fun D they took off the doors to decrease weight too.. Back windshield was broken before so they replaced it with plexiglass instead of glass. Slaloming in that was fun!

Sometimes I feel like that's the best kind of fun. Racing things that aren't meant to be raced.

It was all nice and fun until I was racing a friend and he went a little too fast between two plastic bollards... (Usually a very tight fit: maybe an inch one each side?) he went though at about5mph... Ruined the alignment, knocked out the front headlight, cracked windshield..


A few years before that, another coworker if mine went through some metal bollards too fast and shattered the front windshield. I was his senior at the time so when he came back from the appointment and told me the windshield was gone, I was part *jackie chan WTF Meme* and

Oh good times...

i remember my first car...1989 mx-5, i was idling in a parking lot and hit a shopping cart kiosk thingy.

didnt damage the car, but it shook it pretty violently at less than 3mph. lol

i think that was the day that my love of curbs came into play.

I need to go to IKEA, there's something about the carts with the 4 wheels direction... good for 360s. That's why I can't go shopping with girlfriends anymore.

I got fired from a job for sinking a golf cart in a water hazard. It literally disappeared under the surface. Battery acid gave it away a week later.

Guy was trying to scare me pretending to drive it into the water...on the last time I put my foot on his on the accelerator and held the wheel straight and off into the water we went. When we climbed out and were drying off I was like, "now do you believe that you weren't scaring me".

I have to go to Ikea too. I need shelving.

Oh and fuck houses built in 99'. Ceiling fan install is not done... that's what happens when you eat then decide to go start with an hour of daylight left.

Should have been up in 45 minutes like last time to put the fan up. Nope had to go into the attic to get to the outlet box it's attached with rivots (TF the attic, didn't have to do that last time, oh house was built in 99' not 05') Go into the attic. (TF why is the A/C unit in my way, couldn't get to the outlet box I needed someone Yummy size) Comes out of attic. Fuck this shit where is my drywall cutter. don't have one.

Fuck it, drill please. Drill them bitches out and yank on the shit. (Outlet box comes out..... the fuck is the bracket held on to, the joist) prybar and hammer. Pulled that bracket out.

Home Depot trip? Naw wait till Friday and buy an outlet box that's at least 3.5 - 4 inches, just going to drill that bitch into the joist.

I think that was the later gen, wasn't it? The more curvy looking one? They were cool cars back in the day

Wait, never mind.

Mazda needs to come up with a better naming convention

Why is 6braincells such a fuckin idiot?? I know it was in a ramblings thread, but does he think before he talk? God damn I'm glad I didn't go to national meat because if I had to put a face to the name, I would probably have had to punch him in the nose for being such a belligerent fucktard.

Taco knows what I'm referring to.. Not gonna bother linking because he's not worth any of your time.
