Have you seen the new track for hurricane Irma? :ohdear:

So last night I was wrapping up some maintenance on the Lexus, buncha fluid changes and while it was up on jackstands i decided to rotate the tires. On the very last loving lug nut the stud decided to strip out of the hub so now I have a spinning lug nut and cannot get the wheel off. I was ready to put it on the ground and call it a successful day god dammit, now I'm dealing with trying to break this thing loose on a day I was planning on doing nothing :argh:

Yay cars.

Just leave it where it is. I'll come down and get it and you won't have to worry about it anymore.

Definitely feeling unprepared.

As others have said... you are never ready. But knowing you're not ready puts you ahead of a huge percentage of the population.

Best wishes on a successful outcome, that's a level of stress that's tough in an already stressful situation.

I hope someday you realize what an rear end in a top hat this makes you look like.

sorry i'm not exactly great at expanding on all my feelings wrt the current devastation affecting the people living there, and tangentially, my vacation plans, at six in the morning. never meant to come off as some kind of rear end in a top hat about it :)

I think TT was well-intentioned, just put down a thought instead of the entirety of his thoughts. People are dying, and these storms are monsters (and Jose may be yet another). There are huge problems in our world right now, and in our country especially. That doesn't mean that we don't have to continue living our own lives the best we can... sometimes this even includes vacations!

Now, on the other hand, THIS is an rear end in a top hat:

Holy poo poo. I don't get scared driving cars, I'm pretty much comfortable with anything they do or can do. And I just got scared driving my neighbor's '98 ML320.

He stopped me as I was mowing and said that he had a "rattle" and wanted me to look at it. He just had the catalytic convertors replaced, so I said it was probably a heat shield rattling after heat cycling a couple times. He left the keys and I took it out.

It felt normal and I didn't know wtf he was talking about, then I got to ~45 and all of a sudden there was a shudder/CLUNKCLUNK the shook and thudded through the whole car. It felt like a major corner of the suspension collapsed. I babied it home, checked out all four corners and didn't see anything.

I took it out again, putting it in low range first, and didn't see anything. Then I put it back in normal range and it did it again. Wow.

Looks like something either in the front differential, transfer case or transmission, but gently caress, that's bad.

Quite possibly not the same product. Some stuff sold to big, low-price chain stores is actually a "lower grade" version even though nominally the same thing.

Yep, just like the "outlet" stores have product made specifically for the outlet, it's all the normal retail-mall merchandise.

SJW is not a pejorative, and that you think it is is pretty telling.

Depends on the context. It absolutely can be a pejorative.

Edit: I was just telling STR that the Ape rear end in a top hat needed a bigger beat down, but I didn't need to eat a sixer... then I looked... I've made it over a year without a probation... first time since 2010. I'm getting soft.

Floored at how insecure a lot of dudes I personally know are, like on a vast scale that always surprises me when it hits me. I watched a guy pick up a pink stuffed animal for his daughter but held it between his thumb and forefinger like it was covered in piss and give it to her. Because it was too girly and the dude himself isn't some macho hunk dude either, and also drives a new Wrangler with the stick-on catalog bits and cruises around midwest Suburbia because of course. Getting older it is like I am discovering that most people are not at all comfortable in their own skin and it bums me out, I can't imagine carrying around baggage like that day to day regardless if it's learned behavior or not. :(

Lol. I had my thumbnail painted with bass-boat-sized sparkles for days because my 8 year old daughter wanted me to. I guess I'm the antithesis of that dude. And I'm happy for it.
