HOLY poo poo THE JUNE THREAD POSTED IN JUNE WTF

For those that are late;

This is a chat thread for anyone who reads AI. We talk about computers, life, how much alcohol we drink (I worked out 1/5 of the May thread was alcohol related. I think that says something), how much weight Rhyno has lost, where it's finally getting loving cold in Australia and hot in the asscrack of Satan aka Arizona and STR fixes air conditioning, Mad Max fan fiction and shipping Furiosa and one of the Wives, COMMIEGIR occasionally slam truth bombs while CAT INTERCEPTOR infects our minds and sends us all to the cycle asylum - leading an army of AI cyclists to slaughter hipsters on fixies, WE DONT TALK ABOUT GUNS, cry over the Trumpocopypse, wonder how the gently caress *insert idiot here* hasnt been reprogrammed with a baseball bat, we post cat pics, whatever! Just imagine this as one large garage and we are all pretending to work on some broken rear end Falcon Coupe or Subaru while talking poo poo about anything that comes up. Anyone who is just wandering by, stop and say hello! We don't bite and we're a pretty chilled out bunch of normal people. Except apparently when [list of topics you already know to avoid] comes up. anyway.

Either that or get engaged or get married. Seems to be a lot of that going round.

NOW STEP INTO MY GARAGE AND HELP ME FIX A BROKEN rear end SUBARU. OR CHAT. OR SINK PISS. I DONT CARE JUST HELP ME FIX THIS SUBARU

Honestly this new covfefe thing is about as funny and worn-out as a two-week-old dog turd, and I'm about as happy to see yet another tired reference as I would be to see the aforementioned dog turd sitting on my dinner plate tonight. CT's cool, though.

That night we performed the rite and opened the gate.
Halfway through, I went to fix us both a coke float.
By the time I got back, he'd gone insane.
Plus, he'd left the gate open and there was evil everywhere.


I went to Cars and Coffee last month and no mustangs killed anyone.

I somehow missed covfefe completely because I was out getting absolutely plastered along with 5 of my best work pals from about 6pm on last night, so go ahead and mark the 1/5th of posts in this thread so far as "Alcohol related" and/or "Trump"

I tried something I'd never had before, a pickle juice back after a shot of Jamesons. It was surprisingly decent.

Cars and coffee here is actually pretty cool because lots of rich people with exotics live in the area, so showing up with a Mustang is pretty lame in comparison. One time this dude showed up with a riced out POS e36 and parked between a Ferrari and a Lambo it was awesome.

I changed the oil in my shitbox mazda with a 3.0 duratec. It only turned into a mild clusterfuck involving a 4 ft crowbar. (The k&n oil filter was slightly larger than the hole to pull it out of. Force was applied.)

Now to go pop some shiny new headlight assemblies in.

I'm good at breaking ac. Fixing, not so much.

I'm finally used to the car not having ac - so long as the windows are down and I'm moving it's not terrible. I keep getting sunburns on my left arm though. Also on my neck if I drive with the sunroof open. :downsgun:

Flawless monthly thread transition!


I'm trying to get paint for my car but it seems that nobody in the UK can get the mix formula for the original 1975-82 paint code anymore so will have to match it to the car.

The smallest painted part that I can find to remove from the car that appears to have any original paint on is the inside of the boot lid, so i guess i'm driving that over there.

Number one thing to get used to with a convertible too. Got a wicked sunburn last year so now I go pretty overkill with the sun block if I'm planning on a longer drive. Only issue is that my wife leaves white fingerprints everywhere after applying it.

Our C&C kicks rear end because we're considered snobs so none of the douchebags come and hang out with us. Instead we get the really chill old dudes who only drive their classics in summer. We had a 100 car turnout at a last minute meet on monday. It's really great. I've made some of my best friends at C&C.

You get used to it. My left arm is permanently a different color thanks to years of hanging out the window.

Probably gonna get skin cancer eventually.

I spend 4+ hours behind the wheel at least 5 days a week (often 5-6 hours of actual driving). I should probably consider sun block. Maybe. Eventually.

(or I'll just fork out the ~$400 to fix the ac)

And... yeah, that.

I wanted a tan, but I wanted it to be even on both sides of my body. So far it's mostly on my left arm and one side of my face. :v:

I think I'm crying a little bit.



Edit: Oh and Facebook reminded me that 3 years ago I was fifteen pounds heavier than when I started my new journey three months ago. So from 2014 I'd lost just shy of 45 pounds.

I like to park my hail damaged E21 between all the new shiny BMWs.


Spring BMW meet snuck up on me...it started yesterday. Sitting through a meeting in couple hours then taking the E21 to flog in the mountains for a couple days. It'll probably rain most of the time and I expect some sort of issue with the car since I haven't put enough miles on it to really be confident in it.
