Northern Virginia Roll Call

Awesome thank you! Already removed my old sport decals a while back should be good. Ill give it a wash, I dont have a hair dryer or a heat gun though.

 

So was in the store today, and it must have been dumbass friday special today cause a lot of dumbshit was occurring.

First incident - I was picking up trash bags and stocking up on a few things, store keeps all that shit in the same aisle with Charcoal. Two guys standing and staring at charcoal. No shit this was the convo

Dumbass 1 (DA#1) Dude there are some many types of charcoal, which one do we get

DA #2 - Bro, I don't know, maybe one burns hotter than the other

DA #1- But I don't want the steaks to burn

DA# 2 - Lets google it.

DA# 1 - Lets ask that dude (nodding at me)

DA#2 - Hey Bro - What charcoal do we get to cook steaks, just steaks not like burgers or anything

Me - Not your Bro - Get kingsford

DA#1 - Sorry Man - but whats the difference between the match light and this regular white bag

Me - **sigh** Internal monologue "these motherfuckers need a role model" Outloud "Match light, less likely to have to use lighter fluid, regular, probably gonna need lighter fluid or some sort of kindling"

DA#2 - BROOOOOOO LIGHTER FLUID LETS BURN SOME SHIT

Me- **shaking my head** "good luck"


Second incident - This one hits close to home and you can skip this part if you want -

One of the biggest pet peeves of mine is watching someone belittle a person who speaks either poor / little english, or no english at all. Speaking slower and louder will not get the point across. It doesn't work for deaf people, it doesn't work for foreign people. I watched people do this to my grandmother all my life.

Obviously this is a much more condensed version of the story -

Cashier was checking a lady out. Lady was of spanish decent. Judging by the dialect, I believe Panamanian. She pulled out coupons before cashier even starts ring up (Kudos to the spanish lady for doing this up front). The Cashier "hey you can't use these, one is expired, and this one is for another product". Spanish lady is confused and she points at the product and the coupon gives the thumbs up. Cashier loudly (this is coming from a guy who is loud) I SAID YOU CAN'T USE THIS ITS NOT THE RIGHT ONE, CAN YOU UNDERSTAND ME, NO MEANS THE SAME THING RIGHT". Guy behinds me mumbles "God Damn right means the same thing"

Me - Excuse me, its not necessary for all this (In my "so I can be heard" voice). You can just as easily show her the date, and the product and show it doesn't match or its expired, but since we are past that give me a second.

I converse with the lady, nice lady, visiting her kids and her granddaughter who graduated(ing), she was wanting to cook a big meal for the family (Grandmothers always want to cook, love it) Grand Daughter was waiting in the car. I sorted it all out, the lady was happy to pay regular price, her kids had given her the coupons and she was just trying to save a little money. Needless to say the manager had come over honored the coupons, helped her to her call. Told her Granddaughter congrats, and next time, take the time to go in with her grandmother to help out. Morale of the story - Don't be a fucking douche to people who don't speak english or speak a little. We get visitors from all over, no reason to be a douchebag American.

Sorry for the long post - Here is a dancing gif

 

I did it just for my rides back in the day so I didn't have the "professional" cuts to them. To get a tighter finish on the tops of the windows, I would recommend going to someone though or getting the cut outs. If you ever want to give it a shot though, you can always go to Autozone and get a roll of tint for like $20. After that its a combination of tint fluid/soapy water and an exacto.

 

Nice man, that's the hardest part.

 

lmao. no to those subs.... but that is an "ok" deal.... it's not a GOOD deal on those fender flares haha

I'm going to lift it 4.5" and likely go with 35s

haha I figure the first step is admitting it..... so I'm on the road to recovery.

 

i think you need to lower it with 28" 18 wheeler wheels. Please can you get spiked lug nut covers??

 

nah.... that's a dually thing...

 

Looks like it will be some time before I can install my ditch lights.....sent me the wrong brackets.

 

I bet they'd fit a ford. <3

 

HA!

They sent Light Bar brackets.

 

who was it that you ordered from?

 

Rago group buy

 

i have some extra light bar brackets if you want them

 

Sending them an email to get it sorted out.

 

i might take you up on that... I'm going to try to toss in that 22" this weekend.... we'll see how it goes... haha

 

when are you moving?

 

so we're currently waiting on the appraisal to come back..... it has to meet the VA appraisal price before we can close, but after that, we will be closing on of before 8/15 (so approximately 2 months)

 

Just scored a free grille insert!
