Thread: What did you do to your car today? Vol 2.0

I don't even work, nor have I ever worked, at a grocery store and it pisses me off when people don't put carts back. One time I saved a brand new Cadillac XLR from a runaway cart that someone was too lazy to walk 10 feet to put away.

I park in the back everytime it's a habit.. Aggravates whoevers with me.. Rather it be rain/snow etc I'm parking in the back lol you're just going to suffer and get your ass to the doors quickly but I never just leave my cart. I just enjoy watching folks who drive up and down each row just trying to find a close spot.. Instead of just taking 10 more seconds to walk from the back they rather waste 5 mins looking for a close spot.

we had one asshole in the loader, he didnt give one fvck about the carts and he's just scoop em up and put them in the piles of snow.

we got a few complaints. he got fired, so we were all told to not damage them, but feel free to move them in any manner you like lol

Yeah, I park toward the end myself. At the grocery store there is one particular spot I always try to get that is at the end of the one row, but if it's taken I park in the next row where no one parks.

Ever watch a car run a stop sign and crash into 8 carts being pushed into the store? I have, it was great guy deserved it. He was so mad at the cart pusher when he ran the stop sign.

Aw dadgum I didn't mean to steal Stealthee's thunder. Kudos on that! But yeah it was another customer who just said "Its refreshing to see someone do that."

At TB last night the drive thru was a sit n wait. Dude ahead of me drove off so of course when I pull up its a snafu. They actually insisted I keep the extra change, maybe sixty cents LOL. The TB twerp was way faded, man. Unable, lol. The food was OK, thats the main thing. I tried to do right without getting smart.

Then today, a co-worker approached and asked if I lost ten bucks. He found a ten and was searching for the owner. I checked and it wasn't mine so i sent him on. It does seem the hot rod shop is a little island of good ol folks like that. People you can trust when nobody is looking are scarce, always been that way.

No I but I saw a diesel truck try to show off and leave chunks of transmission stuff everywhere (I was younger so I couldn't identify the parts) then have to sit there and wait for a tow truck. He did it right in front of the break area so we all got a good show.

I always park close up, hell its just a grand prix. Probably worth less than a cow sized pile of shopping carts.

The truth

It may be a Grand Prix, but I didn't buy it for retail value. I've put too much work into the car to see some asshole dent it all up or something along those lines.

Russo I sure am glad you got the holy one smoothed up. I can't stand little vibrations. Your GP is gettin better.

SD, I also sure was glad you passed. Dang they made you work for it.

Booba, you some kinda LED salesman? (in my best Hank Hill voice) You're gonna make fireflies extinct! Just foolon round.

My goal is to give a firefly a sun burn, lol.

No, but when I was younger, probably 18 or 19, I had my younger brother and cousin with me, who were both 14 or 15. We were walking into the mall, in the crosswalk and some stupid b!tch decided she didn't want to stop and went to drive around us. I stopped dead and put my arms up to stop my brother and cousin to protect them. She was so close the mirror literally brushed my shorts and as it did I hauled back and punched the rear quarter panel as hard as I could putting a nice dent in it. She stopped dead in the middle of the parking lot and got out and started yelling at me. I got in her face and went off, calling her every name in the book.

She's ranting saying I am going to pay for her car, and she is going to get security. I asked her, "What are you going to tell them? That you almost took out 3 people in a crosswalk because you were too fvcking stupid to stop?" I said, "Get security, hell call the cops, I'll wait."

She walked inside and we walked in behind her. She walked right past security, and right back outside and left

Put way to much into it just to be careless and let others damage it, yea it's just a Grand Prix but one I worked my butt off to get it to where it's at

I have extras, hence the insensitive remark I reckon.

Well what started off with me deciding to finally do something with one broken stud and another stripped one.. Ended up just replacing all 10 up front.. Been like that for a good 3 years or so.

Trying to put the driver side wheel bearings on this 07 gp base. Dumb owner stripped the three 13mm bolts holding the hub on. Contemplating my options, get a wheel grinder and just grind the hub and bolt where the treads are holding the hub in. Im putting a whole wheel bearing hub in so doesnt matter too much to me

That's a lot of grinding, lol.
