Tristate Chit Chat thread : The Saga Continues

So to recap, absolutely everyone except for Nuno says to get them. Obviously, Nuno is right.

[Colombian Gringo]

Mark, I got taste of your work commute this morning. Set up a small desk in the basement. This morning kissed cathy good bye as I commuted downstairs.

the good part is it's convenient. the bad part is you can never really get away.

I am not really a fan on electrical work either, but kinda goes with the territory with a rental units IMO.

yeah it is. I've zapped myself pretty good a few times on the old wiring in this house. I'm amazed that this place hasn't burned to the ground with what I find every time I take down an old light fixture.

It's about time you realized. Now go make me a sammich.

[eudorrra]

gold wheels! get some real nose-treasures in that booger

[salvaterra]

...contemplating a fleet overhaul.

[salvaterra]

not a huge fan of 4 spoke wheels in general, but those ain't too bad. there's so much non-spoked area that you have to make sure your calipers look pretty, and if you still have drums...

yeah, got a little taste of that today. It was productive tho.

I did not get to the light fixture tho. Good thing is I have already replaced every light fixture here at least once.

nothing wrong with drums, except how they look. like the caliper painting fad with painted drums

hats off to the trek.

meaty tires FTW

[nemo1ner]

meaty tires FTW

Those meaty tires came in handy on the twisties. For a car on cheap ass suspension, it definitely surprised me in the mountains.

4 cars sped ahead of the cruise and managed to get to Helen and drink a beer before the rest of the cars arrived.

Audi S2 Coupe
Trekken
Audi S4
MK6 GTI
(In that order)

One of these things don't belong.

so there are marked spots in front of my office.. way too many for carpoolers, some for electric cars because they're by charging stations, and one for "low emitting and fuel efficieny vehicles". I parks there?? what is considered low emitting/fuel efficient these days?

start buying up Baby Einstein books, gotta get those scholarships!!

[Gear_Dog]

Start their online classes now. By the time they are 18 they'll have PHD's

[JUS_GT_EYEZ]

Im about to open a school, thats got to be the way to make a buck it seems.

[iGen3]

wellllll..intake valves are soaking in GM top end cleaner.

Decided this time to take off the whole nose for better access..not sure if that was a good idea or not, busted a bunch of clips on those annoying wire connectors..I think next time will just put the lock carrier (rad support) in service position.

once the valves are cleaned up, on to the timing belt...yay.

[iGen3]

oh, and all the fins on the AC condenser are all smashed up from road grit. do those fin combs work? as is, I can't see how any air is getting through in those areas ( behind the honeycomb)

[just-jean]

Sumtin I need too?

[nemo1ner]

Maya convinced me to impulse buy. Picked up a Lumix GF3.

Still learning how to use it. What sucks is that there isn't a port for accessories (like a separate flash).

Other than that, I'm pretty happy with it.
