Just solved a very tough e-mail issue with an outsourcing broker for the company since she is in S. America and hasn't been receiving e-mails for the past month. Me being the only person with OSX background knowledge, I banged out a nice little script and a few tweaks to get her up and running. SMTP just wasn't being cooperative. BAM!

I want a raise!

Borrowing the impact drill from work tonight and going ape **** on that stupid oil bolt from the shitivic

kenchan 06-17-2015 02:06 PM

have u tried a closed wrench and large mallet? that would probably work too. just make sure you dont strike the wrench in the wrong direction. lol

Nope. Never though of trying that. Lefty loosy/righty tighty. Turn towards the passenger side to loosen the bolt is how I was taught. Never failed me on the Cobalt.

yah, it's pretty effective. especially while under a car with limited space. i do that when removing rusted exhaust fasteners as my impact sometimes breaks the bolt heads right off. :ugh:


ummm... passenger side if the wrench handle is facing rear of the car. if forward of the car, that would be a nono.. :ugh2:

The oil pan and bolt face head towards the rear of the car. I imagine working on the car like I'm standing under it at eye level. So the wrench should be rotated counter clockwise towards the passenger side to loosen.

best way is to put your ratchet in loosen-mode and double check before you go pounding your wrench with a mallet. :D

sometimes i get confused when im facing the bolt in reverse orientation at an odd angle while working on other things. this way it will know for certain which way to turn the breaker bar or wrench handle.

kenchan 06-17-2015 02:36 PM

btw, where did everyone go? :confused:

That would drive me nuts. They are off the list of tires to own.

yah, once i have like 10 layers (seriously) the thing finally starts to absorb the dressing and keep its black... until the next rain storm. :ugh:

on my dd i run DWS and that thing required like 30 coats of THICK app of tireshine before it finally started to maintain its black color after rain. :shakes head:

kenchan 06-17-2015 02:55 PM

but then on the other end of the spectrum u got falken tires which are kinda shiny all the time... and dont grip worth shitttt... :ugh:

:hello:

kenchan 06-17-2015 02:56 PM

oh, and the tiredressing i use is meguiar's hotshine which can make most tires look like a glazed donut if too much is applied.

i only apply a thin coat on my potenza's. natural black color.

I hate almost all tireshine to begin with. lots of thick coats would really grind my gears lol

How's the oil though from it? I remember that if applied, I'd get some streaking heading down thicker wheels from the oils running off of the tire instead of absorbing.

madwi 06-17-2015 03:02 PM

Some reps got tossed around.

it's good stuff actually if used in light coats. i spray it into that foam applicator i posted and just rub it in real good. for the DW, i use a thick coat though and leave it alone for a few days before i apply another coat, etc.

i dont spray onto the sidewall so no issue for me. but yah, if applied too much and not fully dry it will sling on your door panels. :ugh:

i hate their endurance gel. thing is too thick.

madwi 06-17-2015 03:09 PM

Oh goodness, endurance gel sling is terrible lol. I dont think that stuff ever dries fully.

I use this as well -- sometimes. I have also used Meguiars Endurance successfully.

However, I have found some good stuff -- Adam's Super VRT.

It goes on easily, is not slimy and lasts...
