Well The Ministry of Love should lay off the fun threads a little bit. They are a shred of light during the hell hole of the workday. Perhaps though I should just work more instead of offending the PC police on a car forum on the interwebs.... What's next though? Do we need a safe space thread for the fragile and easily offended? Should this thread be filled with puppies and flowers and annual engine rebuilding timelines?
Big brother is definitely watching. Presumably, the OG Good Week thread was locked to teach us a lesson, and creating a derivative thread ran afoul of the prescribed punishment protocol.
Yes - that or to feign respect for the argument of the trolls (waaaa, the regulars are meanies, it's unfair, blah).
HEY GUYS I HAVE AN ISMB BEARING - I STARTED THE CAR TODAY AND A NOISE CAME OUT NOT SURE I HEARD THIS IMBS IS BAD NEWS
*cough* * I'm stalling them! Quick! Out the back door!*
SO I TOOK THE CAR APART AND FOUND THIS IS IT BAD THANKS DOCTOR STRANGE LOVE
Locking the Good Week thread for days over some harmless pixels on the monitor, is not at all unlike closing a Del Taco location because someone farted in the dining area.
"I'm not 100% sure what the heck is going on around here but for now, and until the mods get a chance to sort things out - this thread is on temporary hiatus."
The kids on the short bus with foreheads that comprise 60% of their face, figured out much faster that windows licked repeatedly taste like yesterday's saliva.
But I think what's really bothering me more than anything, is that someone seemingly stole from someone else by falsely representing something that they were selling. There are three kinds of thieves. 1. The predator. This is the guy that points a gun at your face and demands your money. 2. The opportunist. This is the guy that walks by a pickup truck and sees a Skillsaw, a laser level and a tool belt. He looks both ways, and then grabs the items and scoots off with them. 3. The conman. This is the guy that will look you square in the eyes and lie to you, either outright or by omission to achieve what he wants, which is to extract the money from your pocket. This is the guy that talks 80 year old widows into investing their life savings in his new widgets, which never make production. He's the guy that tells you that he replaced the timing chain, but doesn't tell you that he used a bicycle chain to do it with... or a fidget spinner bearing for an IMSB.
All three are despicable creatures, but at least the first one is honest about his intentions. The second one doesn't have to lie to reach his goal. The third one must lie.
So, a fart in the dining area is really a non-event that would've dissipated after a few more posts without escalation anyway.
Since the Good Week Blah, Blah, Blah thread was locked, didn't get a chance to respond to Schnelly.
Yep, all four corners, all new shoes. Decided to try a different tire, 285/30ZR-18 Sumitomo HTR Z III XL.
Only driven about 150 miles or so on them since yesterday, but am liking them so far. My old tires were Dunlop Durezza Star Specs. They were great at first, but rapidly went downhill.
Time to step up your game, boy. I have seven. My DMV file folder broke the other day.
Yeah, been eyeing a Panny for awhile. Really like the new model, but can't stomach the price. A 928 with a Pasha interior would be a good excuse to expand the stable too.
Not sure about having to deal with all the extra shoes and breaks though.
Probably should get a garage first....
Fvck it, I'll just have another kid. If it's a girl, Porsche. If it's a boy, Cayman seems like a cool name.
