Always enjoy this clip. This gonna be @VolcomTacoma with some of y'all always pickin on him!

 

@jberry813 you have been warned.

 

ok cool. Need to order a new one and then have it beefed.

 

A new drive shaft from the dealer? Big $

 

matches my Big Wallet

 

Call the place that is going to beef it for you, they may be able to get yokes and build a new one cheaper then what the dealer wants.

 

Looking like this get together was cancelled. No idea why.

 

Cancelled? FML! I took the damn day off!

Well, anyone want to meet up somewhere and BBQ? I'll bring the smoker and some ribs or a tri tip or something.

 

So did you go buy a new plug or just say fuck it and torque the plug til it spun freely? My girlfriend doesn't even know when maintenance is due on her car. She didn't even know she had a massive bubble on the sidewall of one of her tires until we started dating and I pointed it out.

A lot of grease monkeys are high schoolers and burn outs making minimum wage I.E. they don't give a shit if it comes back, spins a bearing, or runs for 100,000 miles. The only times I've had to use an oil filter wrench have been after quick lube or dealershits have done an oil change. Well that and when dumbasses in the Coast Guard use strap wrenches to put filters on...

 

I didn't go get a new plug at the time, but I ordered a new one and its sitting on my desk now waiting for her next oil change. I was able to get a pair of those locking pliers on it (brain fart on the name, wow.) And get it on pretty tight, I dont think itll back off, but her next oil change I might have to cut the sides of the bolt to get a wrench on it or something to get it off.

Yeah, back in my early car days I totalled a car my Mom gave me like 3 days after it was mine, $3k later its 'fixed' and then a week later I'm dripping oil. Take it to a jiffy lube for an oil change since it needed it anyway and ask them to find the leak, and I quote "Theres oil, like, on everything but we cant find the leak". So I took it back to the mechanic that 'fixed' it. He pops the hood and immediately points to the dipstick and shows me how the dipstick tube had sheared off at the engine. Yay. So long story short he was a crook and i got him to fix it for free.

 

I'll also add this to the list of shoot-me-in-the-face stupidity I deal with at work. Found this after a long patrol. Luckily the nut was sitting in the bottom left side of the head. However, we're looking at $3000+ for the rocker arm, shaft, and cylinder head+gaskets and o-rings.

The complaint? "The valves are clicking a lot".

 

Booo, I was going to goto that, my buddy works there, delivers kegs in his prerunner.... btw, IMO their beer sucks ass

 

$80? Boy have times changed. My friend used to use the $25 oil change coupons out of pure laziness. But then when he actually went to change it himself he'd find the drain plug rounded, and over tightened. And the oil filter tightened down by God himself.

This is the same person I used to get to change my oil when I'm lazy but he's too lazy to change his own oil

 

Buy everything you need and a tallboy for me and I'll change it for you.

 

I usually just bring over a case of whatever new craft beer Costco has. One time for shits and gigs I bought over the 48 pack of Kirkland beer. It was awful.

 

That shit is awful after a 48 pack of anything else!


On another note, the GIANTS keep playing the way they are and Bumgarner will be pounding those down at the end of this season!

 

Took about 2 months but we finished the Kirkland "beer"

 

Yeah it's garbage, I'll stick to my Coors Light.

I also tried the Trader José beer one time (Corona knock off) tasted like dish soap, would not recommend.
