thats exactly why I dont mess with them backyard guys man. last time I tried that my car ended up being dented lol and the work is always well suspicious. Id much rather just chill with a friend and take our time

and clearly that exile guy has been lurking on here for a bit prior to mustering up the balls to make an account.

Anyone can post pics of cars and say that they are theirs, post pics of your cars with a pack of bacon on it!

Yeah but I can't work on my car here, building owner wants none of it in the parking lot or garage and I needed to do this TB job. Plus I don't even have the time for this shit, today I was selling some furniture and must had like fucking 20 calls at least all while trying to spend time with the GF, and I had to refuse a workshift because I was getting my car worked on.

ARGH

Pick the car up, give him the money (350$ for work on TB, tensioner, pulley, thermostat spark plugs), he hands me my old parts and my brand new thermostat saying he didn't install it because he got caught by darkness and he work in his driveway instead of his garage cause his garage is full of junk....

Have to go there next week, weather permits, for him to put the thermostat in, after arguing with him that I wasn't happy about the situation and he should give some of my money back and I'd put the thermostat in myself. He kept saying "ok 330 the, ok 320 then" and so forth.

Fucking christ.


Edit: Oh and now I have more vibration, which might be motor mount shot (fair enough) or who the fuck knows. Nice.
So you got 9 hours of mechanic work out of a guy that ran out of daylight and you complained?!?!
$350/9=$38 bucks an hour when going rate is normally $115 or more?
Damn, I mean, I'm sure you were agitated but you even watched him work (I'm assuming you didn't tell him?)..he worked all day...he gives you your old parts and you complained?
Shiet, I would have taken grease right in front of you and put it on the thermostat and said there...it's all done, got it all done.

Or said, hey, next time...got to a dealership. Thanks anyway.

hahahaha...

I read more as, ol' boy said he'd do this shit all pro-like but then ended up in the dirt lot "gettin' 'er dun". And didn't ever get 'er all done.

Wasn't that the Frosty story?

That is one tits Genny.. it's funny because your description is the same description I'd give this cesspool.. bunch of civic H-T queers here now (not queer like gender queer, but suck down a bag of dicks queers)..
Oh btw I moderate this joint..

Matt is popular I guess!

Thanks, I enjoyed the Genny while I had her, until the scene was ruined and the value plummeted lol. Seems like if you pick your hangouts properly you'll find a good spot with knowledgeable people AND GLORY HOLES!

I'm Matt, the other guy is Joe, the other other guy is fuck Joe, the guy that posted before the other post is Joe as well.. and that one guy last page is also Matt.
So many Joe's, so little time, I'm just gonna start calling everyone Joe.

Fuckin new guy. Jumps right into raspberry vinaigrette for tossing some salads. This ain't his first rodeo, I bet he knows his way around a ballsack or two.

Welcome to the ass end of the internet. Where shit's always freshest.
You guys are not making me all that enthralled to start a build thread. And here I am, Brembo's in route, caliper paint and high res camera in hand ready to post progress pictures of my refresh of the calipers before I install them and start the light modding on the TL.

I've lurked for a while reading build threads to get ideas, used the forum to search common problems and preventative maintenance, as well as check the community out. Yep.

I don't have any bacon and the one car is at the shop still being finish for the heads/cam/intake/header-back-exhaust install and tune. I'll buy a pack of bacon and throw it on that car when she returns.

In the mean time do you want another food on my TL? Apple maybe? LOL

But really, start a photo thread. If it gets shit posted in, the regulators will regulate.

This is a safe place.

Well, not *this* place. This place is like Sparta, but only the greasy man-on-man parts of Sparta. Not the cool, ultra violent parts.

But like, the other place, the 3G TL photo place. That place is pretty safe.

I had a build thread once.
Actually...I had like 5.
Painting calipers...fuck, I miss those days...if the silver wasn't so good on the V...I'd probably paint them burnt orange like I had on the TL.
Fucking 6 pot pistons...gonna need 2 cans!

I hear ya on 6 pot calipers man, the 6 pot 4 pot setup on the Z is a bitch and I really want to paint them yellow.

Thinking yellow for the TL too, thought blue but I think yellow might look better with the Chromium Black XXR 530's I plan on putting on.

Btw, I'm just blowing off steam.

Im still eating shit sandwiches and placed an order from a new place today. While I was mentally preparing for a double shit with a side of loose stools, it ended up only being a grilled feces on sourdough.

So I'm like 50% still wound up but 50% relieved. And like 60% tipsy. Also 100% done with this semester (woo hoo, no finals required!).

So dont take anything I say seriously. I'm hardly ever serious, and not to be trusted.

True story.

And nice to meat you Raspberry Vinaigrette Matt.

I know you were, but painting period is a pain in the ass. I'd much prefer to compound and polish paint. Much more satisfying and I'm better at it.

I saw a S5 today. It was black with the Ahhhdi rings on the grille painted red. Red badges on the back, and red trim along the side underbody.

No clue if it had the sport diff and the guy driving it had his phone up to his ear the whole time and didn't notice me gesturing to him trying to find out.

Also, has the Tesla become the new shitstain, can't use a turnsignal, I'm so vain, asshat mobile that used to be BMW? Because it sure seems this way.

But funny thing about that, even though they're better than me, they still give a pretty wide berth when the Road Warrior PigRunner shows no fear towards their feeble lithium fire waiting to happen when they merge like assholes. I mean, maybe if there were some way they could *indicate* their intentions, I wouldn't need to passive aggressively almost roll over them.

But that's just my observations. TeaLizard.jpg

Good night cucks. I'm going on a field trip tomorrow. Fuck work. But then it's back to shit sandwiches on Thursday; thank you sir may I have another.
