I like the S2K more and more every day. Though I am getting tired of driving it. Need to fix the 5.0 this weekend!

Thanks, Mr. Kenchan. This one will be 7 figures over a year. No pressure. Geesh... These guys are showing up in 1 1/2 hours and then it's all on me. I need a nap or a vacation or something. I may as well burn off my nervous energy on the forum.

And there goes my appetite.

:rofl2: If I send you shadonewds, you can lose your appetite erry day and drop pounds!!!

It's the shadonewd diet.

I'm in! I have a month before my birthday, need to drop it all quick. PM me. :p

:tup: it is a driving intensive car for sure. :D


wooah, i can almost sense the pressure. tums/rolaids good. :tup:


hey good luck with your diet and excercise! :tup:

Good Morning Mr.GaleForce, Mr.happytheman, Mr.onzedge, Mr.JARBlue, Mr.Steve, Mr.gurneagle, Ms.Pint, Mr.Fire, Mr.shado,Mr.Red_Zed, Mr.kenchan and Everyone!! :tiphat::tiphat:

The Z is back in the dealer… again… since the soft-top issue, seems they never can get the power window adjustment done properly, either the problem on the passenger side and when they fixed it the problem then jumps to the driver side… :shakes head:

Hey Steve, that was a scary/exciting moment… glad you escaped.from it, skill matters :tup: Definitely not a good way to start the day but I can sense you are quite excited about it :icon17:

Mr.onzedge… best wish on the closing today!! :tiphat:

Ms.Pint, it's always better to not have enough sleep on bed than to have to sleep too much on it... you know what I mean… ;)

Have a great one everyone!!! :hello:

Ken, figured you'd like this:

:tiphat: Thanks, man.

Good luck with the deal, rep master. :tup:

That's right -- I am the "master-repper" (master-other-stuff too). :icon17:

the hell, are you getting a turbo kit installed or something? :icon17: hahaha. is that yours? you can put it back together???!! :ugh2:

hi mr.alcheng! sorry to hear about your canvas woes. :(

:bowrofl:

Its a broken 7s26 movement. Taking it apart to see if I can repair it.

I'm upset because I need a watchmakers screw driver set and they cost hundreds of dollars. Not worth it when a 7s26 replacement is only 50!

More than likely I'm just gonna scrap it or keep it for parts.

Dropped my baby off at the shop this morning for a wheel balance and alignment. Hit a rather huge piece of wood yesterday while exiting the highway at 70 mph. Fun times.

oh damn... there is now way in hell i could put a watch back together. :icon17: wat other talents do you have hidden away? :tup:

ouch. hope you dont have bubbles on the sidewalls (inner side walls too). :ugh2: i remember bending 2 SSR wheels back 15yrs ago when i hit a kleenex sized rock while carving through the canyon. it was crazy impact. :icon14:

I'm handy with most things. Ever since I was a kid Id take stuff apart and put it back together.

None that can be mentioned in polite company :yum:

I'm hoping for good news. Wish I had room to avoid it but oh well. Sometimes you just have to hit sh!t.

:tiphat: Mr.kenchan… I am kinda getting used to it… :icon14: :icon17: everytime the servicr advisor comes up with a big smile so at least it's some kind of a good service.... lol

And this is what I am driving today… til 3pm… I hope…… :ugh2:

Did you take it to NTB? If not, I just wanted to remind you that you can get unlimited alignments for 5 years for about $250 and it can be transferred to one other vehicle during the term.

:iagree: Gaps are your friend. However, whenever I create a safe gap between myself and the car in front of me, a car always wants to come over into my lane and fill it -- at least in the NYC/Long Island area. To fix that, I close the gap, but make sure that I can see through the cars in front of me down the road so that I can see any potential danger :eek: and react to it in time.

That's how it is here. If you leave a gap someone will fill it. And of course the person behind you NEVER leaves a gap so even if you can avoid hitting the person in front on your own, you're just going to be shoved into them by the guy behind you. :shakes head:

66 <3

nice! ever since i was a kid i take things apart and later get yelled at my dad saying i broke it. :ugh2: here dad, some spare screws.... :ugh2:

with that experience i got while young, im pretty good at putting things together now adays. :tup:

fortune cookie: one needs to break things to really understand the limits of materials and one's self. :D

:icon18: hahaha

yah, i had no room to avoid either. :ugh2: and i have very quick reflex.

hahaha, yah, in j-land McD's sells smiles for free. :icon17:

wooah, wtf is that thing you are driving (riding?) today... :ugh2:

yah, this can be said about my area as well. i ask, why you in such a hurry? oh, bladder problem... oh, sorry you have to drive that and yes, go ahead...

i back off. i rather avoid rock chips. :icon17:

Couldn't afford NTB this time, just needed a quick fix for now. Dealing with all the other mess right now, finances are too tight.

Its a delicate balance to try and keep people out of your gap, yes. In traffic on my normal commute I will often try to position myself in the left lane behind a smallish vehicle for best maneuvering options (shoulder/grass on the left) and visibility. If traffic is light, then I don't care that much about people getting over in front of me as long as they keep speed. Big pet peeve of mine is idiots cutting people off in the left lane then cruising at 2 mph over the speed limit. In Texas there is signage all over that says "Left Lane for Passing Only", and it's apparently enforceable via ticket. However, I have yet to ever hear of anyone who has gotten one.

In heavier traffic I will often close the gap quickly when I anticipate that someone else is maneuvering or speeding up to sneak in front. Doing this and then immediately backing off to create a gap again seems to be a pretty effective method of letting people know I'm paying attention to traffic, I'm not holding up traffic, and they don't need to be in front of me. I generally want to go faster than them anyway once traffic clears. There are some people that will cut you off anyway, and after that happens, I like to let other tailgaters in front of me because they're more likely than I am to rear end the idiot.

:( maybe next time then. Sorry to hear - we're in same friggin' boat, except my wife wants a new car :ugh2:

yah, i dont like getting my cars aligned at NTB or firestone... lol :icon17: most techs there are not very good. some scratch your wheels with the alignment equipment. :icon14:

i take my cars to speedshops when needed.

That's good for you though! You get the Z :yum:

Yes ma'am! :excited:

First things first, start shopping for an exhaust. :tup:

:icon18: :tup:

very good advice. :tup:

This time I have a Dodge Avenger… initial feel is better than Maliboooo, at least it doesn't have the 20 -degrees play on the steering on EACH side like the Malipoo… but the susprnsion of this car is just weird~~ feels like its nose rise when braking n dive when accelerating.... something like that…… :ugh2:

I like FI, Ark, and HKS the most I think... gonna be a difficult decision for me and probably won't happen any time soon. :shakes head:

FI son! I'm currently investigating some LTH from them. :excited:

I know... I know... but I want new so that's a nice little wait. :tup: on the LTH and GL w/ search.

Wow the SEC is useless. Wonder why firms go rogue and f*ck up the system? It's because agents go out in the field so they can play solitaire in my conference room. :facepalm:

Government employees wasting time?

:highly skeptical:
