Speaking of cars. Parked mine today, and noticed a puddle of oil. Thought: "motherfucker." Lifted the hood, dipstick was hanging out, and had a bunch more cactus dragged in.

I will kill you all packrats!

Luckily the oil level was good.

Where is the .308?

Perhaps if it was surpressed, and had we had more land between us and the neighbors. :P/>

Ahhh... good point. Honey badger, some subsonics and a sweet can. Then fuck up them zombie...err rodents.

Oh, and FUCK YOU Rock Auto. Sent me pads that "fit" only to make me run to Benz and pay fucking $177 for the rear pad set since they were the wrong size. $30 to $180 sucks. Would have just slapped the old ones back in, but of course in classic Sean fashion I cracked the rotor removing the caliper. Little lip + powdered metal = brittle.

How in the fuck does one crack a rotor removing pads? I have been doing this for almost a decade longer than Stefan has been alive and I have never cracked a rotor removing pads... I have cracked rotors trying to beat them off a frozen spindle, and even had to cut Ford rotors off with a torch (horrible design), but just removing pads?

Its an even better question once the size of these rotors has been seen.

Looks like they're furloughing 170 baseline contractors from Nov. 27 - Jan. 6. Apparently this announcement went out Tuesday. Only been here a week and the new CEO is already breaking balls. "Thanks for working 6 12's for the past month, but we're laying you off for the next six weeks. Happy Thanksgiving. Oh and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year's, too." Nice.

You just had to throw that in there--Asshole.

I ran a rotor through the wheelabrator once just to see what it would do. It was NOT pretty.

I have :) just knocked the caliper off with a mallet. Perhaps I should have changed them before they got that worn. A few mm lip on both sides and big pads and pistons and there is a little pressure.

Nothing pisses me more than people critiquing how I spend my money.

I got the stupid "Why do you come to work by bike when you have a car? Why do you need a car? Why do you need a car with bad mileage?" questions. "you should use your car more often, it's bad for the battery if it sits for too long". Re-he-healy ?

Some think that everybody should drive econoboxes and NOT enjoy something.

LOL, settle down Sean.

Seriously that little chip would have made no difference. It wasn't even enough to cause a balance issue. And believe me, the hydraulic pressure in a brake system would be plenty to get that car to stop. There is a huge amount of pressure in that system.

Ha, I know. Already had rotors though. They are well under spec for replacement so it was time meaning I was more than willing to use my uber manliness to remove them :)

Realize I am captain overboard. I wasn't concerned with balance, but when that piece just fell off it didn't make me want to just slap things back on. And the Benz pads at $177 were only $30 more than the ones I could find online. Unique rear calipers to that car and only a few others make the parts stupid expensive.
