What did you do to your car today? Vol 2.0

Re: What did you do to your Car today? Vol 2.0

You guys with the underhood lights ... wait til you get a garage. You'll be light nazi's. Ask guys like Scotty/Buickman/Dtrick/LowOctaneGPguy.. my place was daylight on all sides. Sure you still used a droplight, but most stuff was already lit up.

I filled her up last night and reset the odo. If she's doing as good as I think, she's doing better than the Regal.

Tonight I'll be loading up the 100lb pooch into the backseat. Yes, I'm going to use that huge seat protector that we have.

gotta light the garage up if you want to get a good detail in at midnight
 
Re: What did you do to your Car today? Vol 2.0

I drove Regal 100K miles from 160K to 260K. It was never towed or broken down.

What are you GP guys doing wrong?
 
Re: What did you do to your Car today? Vol 2.0

I've never broke down either, but hope for the best a prepare for the worst.

Putting wheel bearings and brakes on this 07 with 134k miles. 270$ for brakes and all 4 wheel bearings

The axle nut really sucked, it wouldnt budge i sprayed with wd40 and pb blaster a few times, let it sit, hit it with impact, tried using breaker bar. I said f it, grabbed my little torch, hit it with impact one more time and it came off before i had to heat it.

Car steering wheel shakes when its in 2nd gear and accelerating, not sure if wheels are out of balance or axle is bad, a year ago it said it hit a embankment, and was towed. There was no body damage, im thinking it just jarred the suspension a little bit but didn't notice anything damaged when doing wheel bearings and brakes.

I have done literally nothing to my car for a few days now. I haven't even started it or moved it since Sunday. I need to get motivated and clean her up while I have nothing else to do.

Decided I had to get out of the house, even if for a few minutes, so I took it for a ride to the store to get some food, even though I have food at the house. I bought more junk food than anything, but it is what it is. LOL

If I were not a nice person I could have gotten my groceries for -$17. Long story short total came to a little more than $32. I gave the girl a $50, She handed me back $67.xx.

I looked at it and was like, "I think you made a mistake, I only gave you a $50. Apparently she put in I gave her $100. She thanked me many times.

I sort of got thanked the other day for pushing the shopping cart back into the cart corral and stacking it in there straight.

Dropped the GT off today, with a friend who has an empty frame rack. So I can get that LF wheel to stand up straight somehow or another. Should be cake, it doesn't pull or shake and I had it up to about 65 tonight. A little pull on the LCA mount should do it.

Sounds like work projects are getting shuffled as of tomorrow so I'll be off the bronco and onto a hot rod Pontiac so yay.

As a previous bagger/cart pusher at a grocery store I salute you. Nothing is worse than doing the midnight shift rounding up carts that get blown across the freaking parkin lot.
 
Re: What did you do to your Car today? Vol 2.0

I hate when people do that crap.. I never had to attend carts but what really aggravates me is when instead of taking the 30 seconds to put the cart in the right place they rather stick it in the middle of a parking spot.. Now if I park there I have to move it or else I fear it hitting my car one way or another.

I used too watch people leave carts out on windy days and they would turn torpedo and smack into cars. One lady took one right too the door after letting hers sit and hit someone elses car. Its the people who park way out in the back of the parking lot too and are too lazy too walk.
 
Re: What did you do to your Car today? Vol 2.0

i used to plow them carts into piles at the walmarts and sams clubs i used plow. the cart boys all ran home every storm it seemed.

shopping cart round up i called it, ever see a shopping cart do 45 mph? lol

theres a low spot in the shopping center lot by me. ive called it the shopping cart mating area. on a windy day theres a good 10 to 20 carts blocking the road.


i need to get a pic of this, its pretty funny looking. like cows moping around the lot.
 
Re: What did you do to your Car today? Vol 2.0

People used to do that when I worked at Target, it was amusing to see a cart fly 30+ feet in the air after hitting a planter...but being the guy that has to drag that mangled wreck all the way back to the store sucks.
