Not just cute but can be persuaded to go indecently fast up to the point that the recycled tin cans it's made from can be torn apart and the front chassis rails seperate from the rest of the car.

I'm not joking on that one. The City is a ridiculously light car made from very light metals and you turn the boost up they are stupid quick BUT the chassis is literally torn apart. A stupid amount of fun tho before that happens. I'd hate to be in a crash with one.

I have a very hard head so I'm ready for it.

I just want a tiny little quick car and would rather not have to build a BP swapped Festiva to get one.

God drat is there some crazy poo poo going on around here

So this dude fancies himself a scam artist
http://www.dailydot.com/society/stop-bullying-ceo-fraud-benjamin-byerline/

We walked in the same circles, he dated a friend of mine. He's got a trail of knocked up girls behind him. All around major scumbag. So in the last few weeks Indiana has made headlines over this new law that may or may not allow legal discrimination. A pizza place about an hour northwest of here said they'd refuse to cater gay weddings and they were at first smacked down hard, the bigots and gay haters have now raised almost $900K in support of them. It's loving crazy.

So this Ben clown in another of his scams announces he is opening a pizza joint and that they will refuse service to "the gays." He even posts a link to the story about the place that I mention above. It's pretty clear that he wants to cash in. I also hear through the grapevine that he's stolen $3000 from one person and they're going after him to get it back. So today I'm sitting at work and I get a call asking me if I want to get in on this brute squad they've assembled to go after the dude.

If anyone could track this dude down I'm sure they'd do worse. The police had to go break up an incident at his girlfriend's apartment. More than a dozen guys showed up looking to gently caress him up earlier today. I don't even really know the guy but for how horrible of a person he is you'd think w'd be best friends.

If it makes you feel any better tonight I got home from work to find the back door open. It was a nice day so my first thought went to "hey the wife, kids and dogs are spending time outside on the porch since I've been busting my rear end to clean it all up with the pressure washer and the patio furniture is out now, let's chill out!"

Nope.

They were outside and evidently the chill idea above had been the plan, but my 4 year old son had decided to take a poo poo outside instead of inside in the toilet (as he's known how to do for well over a year now). My wife is trying to clean him up and my loving DOGS ARE EATING MY SONS FRESH poo poo :barf:

So yes, I'm having a beer with dinner tonight and I may have another when I'm done with that.

This is the best story.

Fat wife: it is hilariously common that a guy will get it into his head to do a bit of working out/shaping up then immediately get upset the SO isn't following suit. Create opportunities but you cannot push someone into this. If you have a dog take it for walks. Occasionally ask if she'll come along. Find a new hobby that gets you both outdoors like archery.

Just telling someone they're a fatty fatty fat fat and shouldn't be won't work, ever.

My ex (who put on 40lbs in the first year we lived together) lost her loving mind when I joined a gym. It got so bad that I had to quit going after two months because all she did was bitch about how she wasn't good enough anymore and other terrible poo poo.

Turns out she wasn't and I left her fatass.

So do I, especially in my job where I have to eat poo poo on a regular basis.

But you know, you grow up and realize you can't always be an rear end in a top hat no matter how bad you would love to be one.

Pretty much that. And it's hard as hell to walk that path somedays. I had some rear end in a top hat in my face just a week ago and I'm pretty sure I could have removed every tooth from his mouth in a very short time but I sucked it up and walked away.

In other news, I loving love my cats but when they die/escape/run away I am done having pets. The amount of property they damage and destroy is too much to deal with anymore. Our stupid Siamese keeps pissing on everything despite a clean bill of health and being medicated for stress. He just keeps pissing. We're going to have to pay to replace the carpeting in this entire apartment because of him and now we have to take him to the brand new place? I don't see many options other than him having to live in the garage right now.

I'd be a little careful with a 300k+ mile TDI. I mean they take boost well and everything but I've considered upgrading mine but it's at 250k+ and I'd rather not rebuild or replace the engine/drivetrain/etc. Toss on some decent tires, upgrade the suspension a bit and enjoy it like that for a while. Chip if you feel the need to modify, I'm still thinking about doing this on mine.

It has year old tires, suspension was replaced at 200K. It's staying stock.

Has he ever replaced the nozzles? Its kind of important because they wear out and can cause problems and a lot of people overlook them when it comes to maintenance of TDIs . Its also a great opportunity to replace them with some Sprints which will increase the power and fuel mileage, slightly. With that mileage Im going to assume he did but the nozzles are only good for 100-150k.

I'll ask him when I see him on Thursday. He wants me to take it asap but I have space issues so it need to wait until we get settled in the new place.

The biggest thing pushing me away from Facebook is the people who are the first to volunteer but last to show up. They just want to look good in front of their "friends."

I don't want to drop fb because I have some genuinely interesting people on there, and family in Mexico that I don't get to see IRL very often.

I've definitely "trimmed the fat" as far as friends go in the last few years, but sometimes I feel like I don't have many real friends.

My friends took their car to WM for an oil change and after waiting for two hours they were told the car had a cracked oil pack and they couldn't change the oil. They brought it to my place and I crawled underneath to find the pan crunched and scraped. They'd owned this car for 4 years and had never been told the pan was damaged so we assume the WM techs did something.

Well, Thursday night trip to Chicago is canceled due to no coworkers available to cover for my Friday. That sucks balls. But now on Thursday I'm going with Dad to look at another property he's interested in, an old grocery store. And it has a loading dock and room inside for multiple cars. I hope he tosses an offer on this one as he's said I'll be welcome to store a car or two (OR TEN) over there. And then we're going to the BMV to get the title transfer started so I can get the Golf in my name and plated.
