Hmmmmm

Not how a happy ending was described when I got here....

Bitches Brew is excellent when you're conked out on painkillers

 

Do they make Raging Bitch?

Altima update! So as I said a week or two ago I was able to drive the Altima with the "condemned engine" home but it was still running like shit. I found out that there are two different computer resets for this car (one to clear the check engine light, and an "idle relearn") I originally did the check engine light reset which made it drivable and even though it ran like shit I got it home. Then today I did the "Idle relearn" and now it is running perfectly which has confirmed that it has to be something electrical to me???? Thank you guys so much Seth, j-roadtatts, and Ryan for helping me out. If it were not for you guys we probably would have gotten seriously fucked over on this car. It honestly drives like it did when it was new.

[ricksi30 923]

And anyone else who helped that I'm forgetting I say thank you!

[sandt38 448]

Awesome. So basically it was flooded and needed a relearn.

 

Sounds like I might be inquiring of the validity of my bill with the cheeseball shop when I pulled up in the Altima I got running on my own if I were in your shoes.

. . . Especially since they tore some shit apart and left it that way.

Normally I'm not into conflict, but I would definitely follow up based on this. That's incredibly unprofessional and lazy of that shop.

I would actually say it borders on illegal, but maybe they were just that lazy and not liars. Hard to know, but with the fix being so simple, it's tough to imagine a shop not being able to diagnose that properly.

I'm gettin those pre-7am booty calls.

Good to hear Rick! 

 

I towed two vehicles in the last month. Not my car's. Anyways the mech I towed them to told my friend both were dead by just cranking the key. I laughed when dude said there's no compression, so its dead. One of them I would say is most likely just a timing belt. 

 

Amazes me how f'ing lazy some mechanics are. I grew up in my dad's heavy equipment repair shop, and he had a huge sign that read "pride in workmanship".

I have this one and "Wiseblood". Both good albums.

[j-roadtatts 1,129]

ROFL

OMFG that thing is ugly. The make a good wide track atleast.

[j-roadtatts 1,129]

Nah. That would have been this one

That rear suspension looks sickly!! What are the highlights of the new model?

[dem beats 1,223]

I love those mornings when the dog just wants to be loved.

Handsome and charming devil just like me. He almost drools as much, and chaises almost as much tail.

I found an '88 GT Performer yesterday!!! A black special edition one!!! will go nicely with my 20" GT race bike and GT 24" mountain bike!!!!

[j-roadtatts 1,129]

Will post pics once I get it the Performer home!!! I have a skate park a block from my house.

[dem beats 1,223]

I swear the man only splurges on things others can use, and on food.

Otherwise he will squeeze nickels from pennies. I'm sure he had a mild arrhythmia when he made the purchase for an undepreciated sled.

Going to buy a Mtn Bike this year. This year has to be the year for getting healthy.

[j-roadtatts 1,129]

REALLY want a Haro. My cousin still has my Haro from my childhood, but he won't come up off it. I sold to him when I was like 13 and wanted money to chase split tails.

[dem beats 1,223]

Haro. Haven't heard that name in a lifetime it feels like.

I got the wife sized yesterday. She is getting one with 3.75" tires. My bike guy says this is the time of year everyone trades in. AND I am first in line when a good used one comes in.

Now you're going back. I remember back when GT, Haro, and the Mongoose were the shit. I had a Goose, back before they became WalMart shit. The "Goose Neck: was such an innovation.

We both get something we want that my wife won't give us.

Win win.

I could never ride those small bmx bikes. I wanted one but I couldn't.

When I was my smallest it was still absurd. I felt so uncool. I WAS uncool. Horribly.
