With his wife's makeup to ensure it is hypoallergenic. Brake dust really clogs the pores.
the labor rate at the tire place i was at this week was like 160 to 180 a hour...
they had one tech working and one guy at the desk....
no help to be seen....
i was able to pick my car up around 8:00....they close at six....
i told them they could have kept it....no problem...
I'm getting a pretty vivid profile here
and this guy mountainbikes?
Like out in the woods? With dirt? And bugs?
I feel your pain.
Toddler germs week 2, how does somebody so small get me so sick so often? Going to start swimming in purrel.
Float charger is your friend if you're regularly parking it for long periods of time. Modern cars with lots of constant draw when combined with the tiny batteries they use to save money and weight bring the suck.
You'd be in luck - weekend after next will be our annual Green Chile Weekend. Tequila, rellenos, and vats of fresh green chile stew.
I know it's not difficult, I just don't really want to fuck with it. And if I can get someone to do it for a couple hundy, I'll trade those worthless green pieces of paper for the work.
See - this guy gets it.
Wifee wears no makeup. Never has.
But full disclosure - first car I bought myself was a clapped out:
If you're all familiar with 70's British "sports" cars, you'll know that you'd better be prepared to get your hands (and everything else) greasy.
Also owned a '76 Triumph TR-6 which needed the motor rebuilt.
Also swapped an engine from a '80 Shitbox Tercel to an '81 Shitbox Tercel (with less rust than the other).
So I'm no stranger to automotive mechanics... I just choose not to do it any more. Unless, of course, someone wants $1000 to do the brakes.

Did you drive it around while wearing a tweed flat cap?
Uhhh... maybe. Who wants to know?
Here's the TR6 I had (I mean, the one I had wasn't in this nice of a shape, but is representative - even the Redline tires):
On slick tires.
Probably should drop his bike off at the shop to get a new one mounted.
GODDAMMIT. There's still a LITTLE tread left on that rear tire. Besides - it's a fuckin' rear tire. Who gives a shit??
Also - I *am* going to swap a new tire on the front, as I'm going to ride in Crusty Butte this w/e.
These prices scare me.
I have turned my own wrenches for a long time so am not used to what retail is like.
And for when I get in over my head...
I got a guy.
Top mech at the local stealership. An actual diagnostic capable mechanic, not just a parts change technician. His hobby shop equals the dealership and he has a small machine shop as well. He builds some seriously interesting motors. And his place is c l e a n.
50.00 an hour in Canuckistani peso's is what he charges me.
I'm blessed.
Currently trying to track down an EPS module for an 03 Honda EP3 Civic.

Ahh, first car, this in silver.
I mounted a set of GullWing trucks with Sims Pure Juice wheels as a hood ornament.
Klassy.

considering that includes the parts plus all the toys in a shop to do it quickly, that seems much more sane
In high school my best friends older brother had one of those. White, with a black ragtop. It was a horribly unreliable piece of junk. We called it "The Bird Turd".
Wasn't via a Toyota dealer so no doubt some 3rd party knockoff parts at this point in the 2007-model-year game. But yes, that's what I was told.
i could use a 07....just need a couch with alot of spare change in it....
Yup. My Spitfire wasn't much better. And the rust... oh, the rust.
Go me!
I am le tired. Friday nearly midday here. Stayed up till 4:30am drinking and watching crappy movies and listening to good music. I think. Not much of hangover but le tired is strong. There are chores to do however. Sigh. Spose I have to get out of bed. Weather looks great though.
Quelle langue?
