horrible gas today--eastwest

Thank you all for the excellent United memes this morning :icon17: :tiphat:

I love Airplane! :rofl2:

Have a wonderful Tuesday :tiphat:

Not sure why it says I've given out too much rep already :icon14:

reps out itches

have a good day itches..

My dad worked for TWA back in the day. When I flew on pass (free), I couldn't get on a flight unless there were open seats. The same with TWA execs; no open seats, they sometimes got to use the jump seats. Not a comfortable way to spend 5 hours in the air... :ugh2:


What is interesting is that United wanted to bump paying customers (really? I thought you were in business to make money) so that 4 employees could get to their scheduled location. Fix the schedule and move on, it should be relatively simple. This is a perfect representation of why flying sucks these days, (post 9/11), airlines are finally making a profit because of stupid fees, they figure they can be asshats to their customers and get away with it because 'captive market'.... :mad:

yeah they were charging like $20-25 for packing per package and they wanted to put it in 3 packages. they wanted $400 just for one box which was 35lbs. i'm sure i can get it all packed in one large box maybe a 40x40x10 or two boxes at the most. just don't see how it would $600+ for the shipping.

That looks like Tyler :rofl2: :tup:

Some people have had good luck with greyhound.
Home

:hello:

not bad, never knew they even had shipping... it's saying $130, but yesterday fedex showed me $106 online and when i went it was 6 times that lol.

Lein: PD2 had some big overhaul with the AI. I might be around sunday if you are bored an want to catch a game. :tup:

They seem to have decent rates for large, bulky items.

yeah it seems like that... it's weird i went on find a location near me and this is what it gave me

Location Distance: 12.01 MILE

TAYLOR WRECKER SERVICE

Yeah, man. Just honk three times and meet Jimbo in the back alley with the box and the cash. No sweat. :rofl2::rofl2:

:mad:

:rofl2: worst part is, that's how some parts of monroe are lol wouldn't be too surprised

I should be around after brunch for Easter. may be comatose for a bit as I digest :ugh2:

:eekdance:

Looking at some wicked tacky cheap wheels and some nice "all-season" tires for the Focus for the summer. Apparently can't get dedicated Summer tires on 915/15 wheels. May bump them up to 16's and see what is available.

I forgot how cheap these things are compared to the Z. Wheels and tires are cheaper than a normal set of tires of the Z.

I had a friend bitching about having to get four new tires on his sedan just last week. I was commiserating with him until I asked how much it was going to set him back. It was less than the price of two rear tires on the Z :gtfo2: :icon17:

:iagree:

Still nothing :(

:tiphat:

I love listening to people who think all-seasons are the end all for tires. My dad could not wrap his head around why I would want a dedicated set of summer and winter tires. To him, it's just more money.

Then again, he believes every car should be AWD and can't ever get stuck with all-seasons. I really want to get some winter tires for the Z just to show him a RWD car can outperform a AWD SUV on all-seasons. Especially the junk kinds he buys. I'll pony up the extra $30 a tire to get pirelli's or bridgestones. He can stick with his Generals or Continentals.

Good Am family :hello:

Z on the mustang dyno looks pretty hahaa!

May take a whack at replacing the motor mounts in the Focus this season as well. Everything vibrates rough at idle. Won't feel bad breaking a $3000 sedan. Good practice hahahaha

With FedEx you'll find shipping to be far less expensive just by signing up for an account with them. Then pack yourself, print the label, and just drop it off at any fedex or fedex office. I don't know if this is the case with other carriers, but I have an account with Fedex for this reason.

One way you might be able to game the system a little bit... selling something on ebay comes with pretty well discounted shipping rates. Set up a private auction to "sell" the exhaust for a dollar or something (to save on the auction fees) and print the label through ebay. Never done this, but the thought has crossed my mind for needing to ship large items in the future.

Dat chili I had last night waz good. But brewing up inside.. :ugh:

So my GTI is black and everything on da car is basically black or matte graphite (wheels) and red.
Dat chrome VW emblem I want to blacken, but wondering if I should plastishittt it or get new black emblems..

kenchan considering plastidip? Is this the rapture?

My STI with DWS06 will do circles around your Z with snows.

More like end of world. :rofl2:

I want to see wat it looks like in person with matte black emblems.
The factory rear ones will break if I yank off so...

Yea, but those are dedicated performance all-seasons. Not the low generic no name brand most people get.

do you have to pay to have an account with them or anything like that?

Nope.. it's free. You might have to put a credit card on file.

and just by doing that they have cheaper rates? that's crazy lol i have to go buy a box or two after work and see what the measurements will be so i can get a price.

Dis is true. U mentioned continentals so just thought I'd post dey are pretty damn good even though not my first choice in tire brand..

Im sure dey also make junk tires like 150% of all junkook tires.
