I stood there scratching my head this morning as to how in the hell someone could have managed to do that based on where my car was parked...I'm still scratching my head. I actually MOVED my car yesterday to supposedly park it in a "safer" spot lol. Ahh, gotta love the ironical crap in life.

Rest of my day was better though :) except that I slammed my thumb in a filing cabinet and started bleeding everywhere :roflpuke2:

yah, i have idiots in my area too that key cars and bump them with no respect at the stores. i also have local indian kids that ride their bike up and down people's driveways and bump cars with their bikes. :ugh2: where the f- are the parents and adult supervision? wtf.

So tired, after my regular job I've been going to help my uncle during Tax season since his own kids won't, I figure extra cash for mods/baby formula lol

It also means I get to drive a little more each day so win-win :)

Was thinking of finally tackling my side skirt install today but I'm getting home around 9pm...might leave it to the weekend


wooo~ which sides do you have? :yum: extra cash sounds good! :tup:

hummm...your post reminds me... we haven't done our tax returns yet. hahaha. :icon17: will do it over the weekend i guess.

do you have an impact gun? if not try a closed wrench and hit it with a mallet pretty good. wear goggles. should get that sucker off. :tup:

i use a 18v milwaukee impact 3/8 drive. works great. :p

Trying to see if I can manage w/o the impact for now (balancing expenses you know). I'll try a closed wrench.

On another note, I can't believe how rusted these bolts/nuts are on a car with 8000 summer & sunny day miles only. Maybe it's the crazy humidity in Chicago.

yep, closed wrench and larger mallet should get it off. :)

yah it appears nissan does not use any kind of corrosion resistant fasteners on the pipes. i member the first day i bought my Z, i took a wire brush to clean off the rear-most exhaust flanges and spray paint them with duplicolor matte black engine enamel paint. :icon17:

Those rear flanges are nasty, looks like a 10 year old car. But those bolts I got off without issues. Muffler is off the car. Since I'm holding on to the stock exhaust I i will probably brush them and paint them to preserve it.

Mr.kenchan, there are going to be quite a numbers of new flagship phones coming out from Samsung, Apple, Nokia and HTC. I am pretty sure the price for Droid4 will drop, not saying it's not good but you know…… electronics… their value depreciate faster than anything on earth. I will suggest you wait a bit if the current Droid is still working fine. No surprise if the price might drop to $99. :yum:
