I'm sure it's possible to find something more opposite my TJ than the C5Z. But only just. My brother's car was due for emissions, he's out of state, and my mom was intimidated at the idea of driving it to get it checked. I don't blame her. I haven't driven anything over 190hp since I sold the WJ, so my sense of "fast" is pretty low, but holy gently caress that car hauls without even trying.

apparently I will require a double length surgical slot to allow for removing enough bone to get the bottom ones out and because the top ones are into my sinuses.

If he hasn’t already tell him to drop a C6Z shifter into it. It’s a direct swap and completely transforms the shifting.

Though I'm sure I'd be in big trouble with it. Of course I think the car might just attract trouble. I was sitting in a line at a stoplight and watched an oncoming Focus try to jump the center median into me.

A 3500 pound wagon with roughly the same power as your xB.  It started shaking pretty bad until I let off the gas. Bad CV joint making itself very well known (and it's been clicking anytime I give it gas since then  ), but as it turns out, a brand new (not reman) axle is $80 at Advance (no core either). They're $60 on Rockauto + core + shipping, so I'm gonna order it online for in-store pickup at Advance and use a 20% off coupon. I just hope this one lasts until I can afford the new one.

64bit_Dophins posted:I finally bought a new car. 2020 Corolla LE. Nice. I think the new Corollas look really good; I only wish they had a more powerful engine option. If I understand correctly, the CVT has a "normal" first gear so you get better response and torque multiplication at low speed, then it shifts into CVT for mid range accel and low RPM cruising. Sort of the best of both worlds. A lot of car reviewers have said believe it or not the CVT Kia put in the new Soul is one of the best on the market. Anyone driven one?

I think the new Corollas look really good; I only wish they had a more powerful engine option. Yeah it is by far the most responsive CVT that I've driven and it's great in traffic but I haven't tried kia's offering so idk that could be better.

No idea about the other stuff though. I mean it improves on Toyota's lovely stock system that tries to run you off the road so... The dude seems to take safety seriously, bans people who even discuss how to get round stock systems in an unsafe manner.

One of the gig companies I drive for requires pictures of the interior and exterior of the car I'm using. So naturally, I took a picture of the best corner (front left), and cleaned out the interior. It was pretty clean when I got it, but I hurridly threw everything from the Saturn into it when I left the dealer with it. So I spent a bit more time cleaning it out earlier. Found a pack of brand new Pennzoil branded 1157 light bulbs. I know of one place that sells them (dirt cheap too.. $1.19 for two, vs $5 or so at Walmart for actual name brand bulbs), and it's right down the street from both the dealer and my apartment. I've purchased 2 packs of them, but used all 4 bulbs already (one housing was cracked, the other 2 showed signs of the bulbs getting wet, but had no water in them?). So finding an unopened package... Yeah, they had to know it was popping taillights. FWIW, it hasn't popped any bulbs since I replaced the cracked housing (it's been through one decent storm already, no water in any housings). The two inner bulbs looked like they'd been in there a long time; I think the only reason it got through our state inspection is because both were broken, and neither I nor the inspector knew it has 4 brake lights instead of 2 (+ center high mount).

I haven't been back to work since my accident, and although it feels weird it's kinda nice being a house husband for awhile. My lawyers think I'm a slam dunk case for disability and put in all the paperwork so I'm not sure when I'll be working again. It's a bit depressing honestly.

Upon arriving to work this morning, I parked my car, opened the door, planted my feet on the pavement, and immediately realized I didn't change out of my sneakers after letting the dog out this morning. Dress slacks, button-down shirt, nice belt, gently caress-off red Adidas sneakers. Luckily the girlfriend works from home on Mondays, so I had her drop off my dress shoes

loving thieves man. This was a great thing to be woken up to this morning.    Thankfully they weren't able to get I to the back of the van where all the expensive stuff is. But they still stole my brand loving new electric caulk gun. And they stole my loving lunch box. What the gently caress man.

ExplodingSims posted:-the van where all the expensive stuff is. That loving sucks. They made another attempt on my truck with a screw driver a few weeks ago, and ended up settling for my torque wrench and custom made coveralls that will only fit a 7 foot ogre. I wish i could just put a sign "nothing worth stealing, you'll never start the truck" They obviously got something because the other morning one of the traffic lights was taken out, and somebody drove the entire length of 32nd street with a hosed up car. then they'd probably steal the loving sign. In brighter news, i have been pestering my favorite tire shop for wheel weights but always seemed to miss a pail of them. Today they had 2 pails for me. the pails weigh 208lbs so i probably got 180lbs of lead for 40 bucks. gonna be a lot of cleaning, but i think i can get my bat up to about 75 pounds. And build a ballast to counter-act my fat rear end in the pickup to even out tire wear.  I'm going to build a small ballast ball to stick in the corner of the cab then get it aligned to zero toe with 300lbs in the driver's seat. I would like to put 30,000kms on my truck next spring.

Speaking of things that suck The PO are refusing to play ball. We're guessing they saw the total and have balked and are now trying the "he's a sickly old man" defense. They told their rep they're done with this. So off to small claims court we go with our rock solid evidence.

I'm still super pissed, but I'm glad they didnt take anything super expensive. At least we have tool insurance at work so I can get it replaced. Sucks about the electric caulk gun though. I just got it like 2 weeks ago. I only got to use it once.
