Yea last time I had to do a piss test I was still failing at like 45 days. Given at the time I was a 24/7 smoker but yea, it took forever to get clean. When I took the whiz quiz (50 days I think?) I just used one of those drinks where you chug it, piss, chug water then take the test and I passed. e: at 45 days I was failing the home tests you get at the head shop, lol

I've recently just been spending my weed money on coins and silver hobby. Anyways if you guys don't hear from me for a while after tonight its because I drove off a cliff.

Dudes, this is how well my date went on Monday. On the way back to my friends house he asked me if my car was a stick shift and if he could drive it. I said yes and yes. Little did I know that he had no idea how to drive one. He was bouncing it off the rev limiter and spinning the tires, asking me where the gears were enough that I just told him when to push in the clutch and I shifted for him. It smelled like clutch so bad that we had to roll the windows down. I was laughing my rear end off the whole time while this song was playing. I just found my Rushmore soundtrack earlier that day. Even if this doesnt work out Ill always remember that moment forever cause it was awesome. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_xwnb3cymc Thats when I knew I was in love. He also agreed to a second date today

If that was how my date went I'd be mad as hell but hey if you had fun. I have no problems if someone wants to learn on my car but if they're spinning tires and making the clutch smoke then its back to the passenger seat, that doesn't sound "cute" to me.

Then you take it to another shop and nothing is said and you get your little sticker. Makes me wonder if the RMV is bothering actually go out and find the shady shops. It's loving stupid, but I just get my poo poo boxes inspected these days. I know of a small local station that passes drat near anything rust-wise that isn't visible without crawling underneath, they usually fail me first try for a wheel bearing or a balljoint or a silly exhaust leak or something, then I fix it in their parking lot and they pass it. That plus the fact that I'm not buying any more rusty cars after the current rotbox fleet succumbs to oxidation should keep me rolling for the forseeable future. The red toilet XJ was a millstone around my neck for several years. It was the least visibly sketchy vehicle I owned, I HAD to use it to get to work as I couldn't afford anything to replace it (that wasn't at least as bad as it), and no joke it was uninspectable for a different stupid, bullshit reason every week or two for the better part of two years. During that time I was completely hosed from every side, especially because I can't bring myself to accept help or handouts of any kind, being very independent minded. Still can't believe the same goddamn state trooper pulled me over and ticketed me twice in two weekends - each time on the mass pike* (who the gently caress gets an inspection ticket on the mass pike when driving at the speed of traffic with no bad bulbs? twice in two weeks? this guy) on a Friday night DUI pretense stop. First time I had everything fixed except the windshield, which had been rock blasted before I got a chance to get it inspected, next time, I'd had the windshield replaced and it had been cracked by a different rock in a different place within 24 hours. I swear that jeep was cursed. Then I discovered it was VIN swapped by the guy who sold it to me (according to autocheck, the original VIN was flagged as a total loss, so I think he just didn't feel like going through a salvage inspection), and the fact that it was cursed started making sense. Twice the VINs, twice the jeep curse...  gently caress that pile of poo poo car.* e: for those not familiar, it's basically impossible to get pulled over on the mass pike unless you're swerving everywhere, doing at least 90mph, have no license plates, or a few bulbs out. It's like 150 miles of police-approved mad max drag strip.

Like one of my friends just said, "clutches can be replaced, experiences cant" Its just a cheap lovely ebay clutch that I got cause I bought the car with a bad engine and I didnt know if anything else was wrong with it. And I have an extra one that came with the engine I put in thats like brand new.

It's like 150 miles of police-approved mad max drag strip. If your not doing 80 mph on the pike your doing it wrong and get the hell out of the way! The only other road like the pike where its free reign to speed almost with impunity is the Merritt I had a shop fail me for "bad rear shocks" which were working fine on my 92 Town Car and then told me you can't drive with a safety failed inspection sticker hinting that he could fix it there and now and I said no and drove off. Went to another non shady shop and nothing was said of the failed item. Had to pay for the inspection again but screw dishonest shops.

KennyLoggins posted:If your not doing 80 mph on the pike your doing it wrong and get the hell out of the way! Not quite, speed of traffic on i95 (55 zone) was 85 this morning. At one point earlier in my life I did 85 on i95 with a bad inspection sticker, no trailer lights, and a trailer in the left lane and an undercover cop flicked their lights at me just long enough to get me out of their way so they could continue doing 90 in a 55, then waved as they went by. As for safety failed inspection stickers, it's actually not legal to drive on them and mass law states they can impound your shitbox or ticket you for it if they catch you. Generally if you don't have a bad record they'll let you go with a warning though. It's only emissions failures they allow you to drive on, and only for 60 days. So since none of my cars are subject to emissions anymore, if I fail it's for safety and I just fix it in their parking lot and have it reinspected same day or next day, it's not worth the risk of driving it home and back.

I got pulled coming up to the toll station at Sturbridge to get onto the Pike. He said it was a 50 in a 40. It's not like I was gonna suddenly speed up and run the toll. I fear driving at night with one bulb out and no front plate, but def not on the Pike.

That's good to hear, I already bought my tickets for Monday as I'm still unemployed and my daughter's christmas break starts after tomorrow. I figured I'd avoid the crowds but two of the shows already had the good seats taken, one was full except for the front row. I guess buzz is good because my local theater is showing it 27 times a day, 15 in 3D and 12 regular. Fun times. And I will say, being able to reserve seats has got me back in the theaters. Otherwise I'd wait till it came out on disc, I used to hate going to the movies. LloydDobler fucked around with this message at 08:07 on Dec 18, 2015 |

As an Australian this poo poo blows my mind. They can and will nail you for any minor infringement, real or imagined. I swear I see a police vehicle every 5-10 minutes when I'm on the road. Even on middle of nowhere stretches of highway. Please note that highways in Australia can even be single lane dirt roads, but usually poorly sealed two lane roads, with or without lines. I think it's just because they go from place to place rather than service the bits in between. Unrelated but I keep losing the Rav4. It's so goddamn generic it's like camouflage. Not from the police though. A few weeks ago I got breathalyzed twice in two minutes. Or rather the second one didn't bother because I told him I haven't had anything to drink since I was breathalyzed a couple of minutes ago. The second one was a big trap too. They had up sham roadwork 40km/h signs with a speed camera on a tripod right behind it. just after it they had a large setup where they were stopping and testing everybody on the road. On the way home I tried to avoid it by going a back way across the border, but sure enough there they were set up right on the border again. loving Victoria, seriously. I hate police roadblocks. made me late more than once.

Pulled over for the first time (since the original three day odyssey) in the bus! Allegedly "license plate light out." Said statement was true (I fixed it the second I got home, PO painted black over the license plate light lens) but I think he just saw a guy load 4 six-packs of beer into a ratty VW bus at nearly 0200 at a walmart and decided to take action. No ticket, but there's always that little "poo is coming out" moment when he lights you up.

So many little nods to the originals with brief shots, transitions, etc. I like the new faces and how they were introduced. After this movie, and having been a fan since I was a small child...I feel like Lucas spat in my face as a fan with the prequel trilogy. This one was great fan service. I felt like I was reunited with my family. I'm sad they axed the extended universe though.

actually (⚠ lool contrarian opinion alert ⚠ close your eyes kastein) I think the prequels are Not Bad and although the first film is fairly weak, the other two are pretty good. They do an excellent job of flushing out the much hinted at back story from the original trilogy and furthermore I always enjoyed the fact that when the first six films are taken as a whole the story shifts from being about lukes heroes journey to being about the rise and fall and eventual redemption of anakin

Think I'll marathon the originals and maybe the prequels with my brother next week then go see the new one mid week once the crowds have died down. Here's hoping I can avoid any big spoilers until then. Someone mentioned some 'optimal viewing order' a while ago but I can't remember where I saw it, may try to dig that up. Went to bed early, woke up way too early. Been in the office since 5:15 and I'm basically done with all the poo poo I needed to finish today before leaving for vacation. Brought the jambox so I can play the 70's k-mart Christmas tunes for the office.
