This was the only time I've enjoyed Bruno Mars because having the mascot join the dancers was hilarious and also hot girls shakin' it. This is the time-out dance squad for the Colorado Mammoth lacrosse team. I've been going to their games lately, it's cheap entertainment and a good time with friends. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3di3RdNgjNc

Every time I hear Bruno Mars song my right knee starts to twitch. And not in a dancy way, more in the "oh god am I have a seizure" way.

It's pretty loving bad if I can get into a 91 Sedan Deville and it has held up better across the board than anything I've worked on Caddilac-wise from the 2000s and up

4.9 liters of fury? The no-starts, when they are working correctly, are pretty bad rear end engines. But keeping them running...... gently caress that.

Anecdotal, to be sure, but the GTOS I have touched held up waaaaaaay better. The only CTSs I've touched almost universally had as many warning lights on as a 98 Mercedes with a disintegrating wiring harness and the leather in the seats was hard and felt like the cheapest poo poo ever made.

So the replacement trunk lid that came with my Midget seems to have its mounting holes threaded just slightly smaller than the other one... smaller than what Moss Motors thinks it should have, too. The bolts I ordered from Moss go in about half a turn before binding up. A trip through the hardware aisle at the OSH didn't turn up anything that would work either. Now, since it's just slightly too small, would I be able to take a tap and re-thread it to work, or will I just totally gently caress it up?

If the thread pitch is the same, maybe you could chance it. But without a way to measure that, I don't know that I would feel good doing that. Maybe it's standard thread for some reason? What's it supposed to have?

If it comes down to it I guess I could simply tap it out to something significantly bigger.

I just listened to apostrophe for the first time in years. Frank zappa has such a great talent for making good music. I also took two craftsman rathcets back to sears today. It took literally five minutes and I got new guts for both my ratchets. Which is what I wanted seeing as im attached to the vice grip marks on the one.

Lightbulb Out posted:Take an anti-histamine. Sometimes that's really not enough, or it just destroys you motivation. I finally convinced my wife to go to a proper allergist 3 years ago and they had shots (which apparently works but is a pain in the rear end) or daily sublingual drops that are custom made based on what your are allergic to. It's a minimum 5 year course but she's been so much better after year one that it's like magic. Doctors know stuff. Talk to one.

Mechanic friend of mine just let me know that The local luxury dealership is looking for two techs, at any level as they are desperate, to start immediately. One is for Porsche, cool, whatever. The other is for McLaren. Well, maybe McLaren. He usually doesn't misspeak when it comes to this, but the dealer doesn't sell McLaren. Regardless, anyone know what it's like working as a McLaren tech? This is in SoCal. I don't really want to work flat rate, but I might make an exception in this case.

I grew up listening to Frank and looking back am very very happy to have been exposed to it at a younger age. His work is freaking nuts and runs the gambit from rock to jazz and even wrote his own orchestral music. To contribute to pop punk chat I've been on a massive Violent Soho kick lately. Nice solid stuff.

I used to get Broncitis every year until HS. See a doctor. Ask about Montelukast (it's the generic of Singulair). Best loving allergy medicine I've ever had. Also, like Motronic said, see an allergy specialist. I'm currently nearing the end of my sublingual allergy therapy (mine was only 3-1/4 years, with about 9 months left) and holy gently caress it's great to be able to breath almost all the time.

Went to the junkyard around lunchtime today to grab some parts for another AIer... and found a cordless sawzall, with battery and blade, under the hood of a car. Now that's some karma. It even had a charge still. I'd feel sorry for the poor bastard who lost it but I've fed the junkyard at least as much in lost tools as I've gotten out of it. The junkyard giveth, and the junkyard taketh away. Even yelled "did anyone lose a sawzall" and waited a while before claiming it. No names written on it anywhere.

I've seen some Bugattis and Maseratis in the greater Philly area. I wonder if they skip the x ray bit and just buy new wheels every year. My BMW wheels get hosed after 3-4, so yearly on a super car makes sense.

Read somewhere your supposed to change the wheels every 10k. I wonder if thats assuming you actually work your Veyron. If it just sits outside fancy hotels and restaurants I bet you could get away with not doing poo poo to it. But "gently caress you money" is what it is.

A C7 Corvette is a supercar. A Veyron is a loving private jet that has the wings turned the other way round so that it sticks instead of flies.

Pretty sure a set of tires (specially made for the Veyron) are $15k and only last 5k miles. Don't they say, don't buy a supercar unless you can afford two of them?
