I love Wisconsin because leaving Madison is like stepping of the edge of the world.

Got the assistant manager rushing me through an alignment. Just toe and go with new parts so no big deal but still irks the gently caress out of me. He lowers the car all the way down while Im scrambling to write down the VINS and mileage and poo poo (admittedly should have done it to begin with) pull out and start driving around to the front, when I hear a loud clatter and see the one alignment head I forgot to take off while being rushed flying in the rear view across the parking lot. Landing right at the GM's feet while hes talking to another customer/friend. Of course the ONE time he was in the shop today that happened. Getting cussed out at work is great. Also cant wait for the Preoptopus hosed up jokes to start again. And I have had such a good dry spell too. Oh well, guess I was due.

Who would have guessed that bleeding the brakes in a Lexus RX350 involves bribing the old timer in your shop with beer to borrow his time and his Verus Pro. My God what an insane sequence.

Brand engineering!

I think the Buick has a way better interior.

In my state its illegal to drive barefoot. So the real skill is putting shoes on as fast as you can while being pulled over.

Our toaster at work speaks volumes as a metaphor for our shop.

It also shorts out the entire circuit if used in tandem with the microwave.

Except it's not illegal to drive barefoot anywhere in the US? It's illegal to ride motorcycles without shoes in many states though.

The real fun part is that today I learned the RX8 is not equipped with a spare tire of any kind. Also it has weird T shaped frame rails that are currently being bent by the borrowed donut its laying on so the rotor wouldnt die when the lovely jack inevitably fails.

On the bright side, my jeep hit a new 0-60 record today: 35 seconds. :unsmith:

So it has run flats as standard right?

Got a pretty :gizz: text earlier inviting me over to some sexy times. Yay! :quagmire:

Then I got back from my last delivery at work to find this waiting for me:



gently caress that poo poo seriously? Your manager didnt even get a head start for you?
I would have walked out.

Got to drive this lady around at work today.

Front drum brakes dont work worth a gently caress.
Still an awesome car and my personal favorite vette era.
(Although I dont think the wheels look good at all)

They look like stock steelies, and they look fine* on that car.

* seriously, better than 99.5% of what the other dipshit owners of corvettes put on their vehicles.

They were stock steelies, he bought it for 2000 bucks when it was 3 years old. And then it sat for 25 years.
Only reason I was bitter was because he was kind of an rear end in a top hat and wanted a bunch of stuff done for free.
