Seriously dude, don't gently caress with colds/flus/sinus infections/coughing or snorting up chunks of cosmoline/cigarette habits/subfreezing weather. Burning Jeeps in the front yard is one thing and easily fixed with a towtruck, a rake, and some goodwill but pneumonia + complications, required medical care, etc. starts racking up costs and favors that probably go beyond cool internet car friends levels of support!

Stay inside and drink goonsourced bourbon for a few days until you've beaten the bug and are raring to go again.

Hey, Look, I know you have this truck looming your head like a black cloud of salvation, we are all watching, we want to see, we want to lie vicariously through you, well, no, I dont, I think you are rad, and I REALLY understand whyyou are doing this, I think at this point most of dont care abut the truck, we care about you, we want to see you happy and warm in Floridia and away from this mess, it will be what it will be. Take a nap, drink a hot toddy, and pound some sudafed, we can all wait. Dont die. It will be weak and dissapoint us all the more. Rest dude. We care.

Well now that you're awake this is a bit dated but whatevs

Thought you could use some more encouragement in the form of something that didn't make you poo poo violently/uncontrollably.

In all seriousness man just take a bit to rest and recover. Fury Road will be a lonely place if you're a 14" dicksicle frozen in place in a field in Nebraska with a smoke in one hand and a socket wrench in the other

That was beautiful, man, though I'm afraid I shall have to take issue with your choice of Good Book. Clearly, Tercels have no V8, and therefore are Godless. They can be brought to the fold, with much fabrication, but they are doomed to hell, stock. Also, the one true Word is always the Factory Service Manual. Chilton's is a populist tripe interpretation for the lowest common denominator.


edit: 14", don't freeze anything important.

Well, in Valentine they say, that Fourteen's fluid-filled lungs shrunk three sizes that day. And then the true meaning of Wrenchmas came through, and Fourteen got frostbite on his penis, plus two.

Hey, 14, how are you feeling, by the way? The past few days you seemed to be knocking on Death's door. However you now appear to be leaving flaming bags of dog poo on their doorstep instead. On the mend?

The concept of it being -10C and completely clear just fucks with my brain. Especially at midday. I've only ever been in -10C once and gently caress that poo poo.

You'd never make it in Ohio. There have been times that we've been so far below 0*F (-18* of your moon units), that warming UP to that point feels really good.

Hell, I just picked up my girl at the bus stop in short sleeves, and it's -5C here right now.

Was a bright, sunny -2F here in Minneapolis today! Granted that was with the windchill but still, it's nearly properly cold around here now and it's swell.

In 2 hours or so, I'm gonna be all bundled up in my overalls on my back under a van to see why it won't start! :buddy: I'm 99% sure it's cuz there's ice in the fuel lines and it got there because the filler neck is busted and allowed moisture in to the tank and well there ya go.

Today it's a high of -20'C before windchill and we don't have snow falling, because it's too cold for the clouds to provide snow.

It is perfectly clear and blue skies.

Outside of the heat island that is my city, it is minus 40 with windchill, which is not enough to close a public school. They go to optional recess at that point, with the kids deciding whether they want to play inside today.

I am sorry that you have to rely on other creatures to experience the thrill of near death that I get just from stepping outside of my house and trying to scrape my windshield. We don't even have it all that bad because I can still start my car without plugging it in, though my blower motor didn't want to spin up this morning until the car had been running for a few minutes.

I've been running the heat when the house hits 65, and not going outside because it's in the 50s.

All three people who came to buy parts today had hoodies or carhart jackets on.
