Yesterday Bernie Sanders was in town for a huge rally. This morning Ted Cruz was at a small diner around the corner from my house. Later today, Trump is gonna be in town.

Primary times are strange, man.

We had Trump yesterday and Bernie is set to start a speech shortly. Trump had about 7400 people show up, the headcount at the Sanders event has topped 12,000 so far.

God drat it.

The piss machine cat has been crawling inside our year old couch and pissing. He also peed on my bookshelves and damaged a couple hundred dollars in rare books. And judging from the black light we're going to have to pay to replace all the carpeting in this place when we leave.

Buy that car.


So earlier I came into the thread because yet another cheap Mazda6 has dropped into my lap. 2003, 160K, automatic, full records of oil changes, 2 year old tires. $1200. No visible rust issues. Offhand I do not know which engine it has but I think it might make a fantastic beater. Plus my winter wheels from the MS6 would bolt right up.


But then SCA posted about those S?C Mustangs and holy poo poo it's all I can think about right now.

Does anyone have experience with vinyl plank flooring? I'm going to replace the carpet in my office and bedroom with *something* and although I'd love to put in hardwood, it's just too spendy. I'm looking at LVP since it doesn't have the "your floor is ruined if water sits on it too long" issue and I'm thinking about getting a dog at some point in the future. It's also a decent price (like $2-2.50/sq. ft.). I've just never used it before.


It's incredibly easy to install if you're even slightly handy. My brother and installed it in every room of the second floor of our mothers house. Just buy a cheap install kit at Harbor Freight, watch a few videos on YT and go for it.

It also helps to have a chop saw handy, cutting the planks by hand sucks. And if you want to go crazy and have a dremmel for fitting around small things like closet corners it doesn't hurt to have that around.

Welp. I just spent $800 at Lowes (though 300 of that was on paint). What kind of blade did you use in your chop saw? That seems like it would save a lot of time, but I've never really used my miter saw for anything but wood.

I honestly don't remember what blade I used to be honest. I just told the guy at Menards what I was doing and what kind of saw we were using.

A friend of mine is in a goofy band called Confused Boner. They primarily play dive bars and parties, pretty much playing to have fun, not for popularity or anything. Well they've been labeled as Trans-phobic by a LBGT rights chapter here in town and are now being witch hunted because of the stupid name they chose for the band. They played a show on Saturday night and someone walked up to the stage with a glass and splashed it on them. It turned out to not be beer but piss instead.

Isn't a tie rod like, super basic maintenance? Except for the alignment of course.

Just want to make sure there's not some sort of weird poo poo I should be prepared for. I did both sides of a 1990 Escort 5 years ago with no issues. The car doesn't even need to be aligned after, it just needs to move a few blocks.

So this is way beyond just a snapped tie rod as it was originally described to me.

Odds are the rest of the car has been neglected as well and is probably worth scrap.

This was pretty much what I thought when she sent me the pictures. If it was just a tie rod no big deal but the axle is probably turbo hosed.

It broke when they had pulled halfway out of their parking space so it was blocking part of their parking area. I just went to scope it out after work, the axle is pulled out of the diff, grease everywhere, boot torn to poo poo. The ball joint is worn as hell with a ton of dust trapped in the rubber ring.

So long story short, they recently ascended from poverty and both got good jobs. But this car was a holdover from that and they still owe $1600 on it so they don't have the title and they can't just scrap it right this moment. So it had to move down to the other end of the gravel park. They just needed it moved so I used the scissor jack from the trunk to lift it high enough, then I kicked the wheel back so the ball joint would be resting on the inner rim and lowered the car. Then we threw it in neutral and despite the deafening scraping noise I was able to ease it backwards down the hill where it will live until they decide what to do with it.

I'm gonna see what they want to do but she seems pretty keen to burn the car to the ground. But if it's a difference between $150 in scrap and selling it as a $500 runner she may change her mind.
