New England B.S. Thread

Hockey weekend is presidents day weekend! So soon! I actually have 70+ acres in Hancock Ma. that I have been building trails on and will be kept groomed when we move down there. This is my parents property so I can't throw huge rallies here...but at my new one I will be able to cause it's mine . We will be building cabins and have areas for camping, so my goal in a couple of years here is to have a North East Taco meet there.

 

Gotta love working Saturdays...not.

Mornin' folks

 

After @MikeyMcFly posted that, I was curious if it was just Boch South doing the special pricing, but you can order it anywhere for a cheap price (the place I always buy parts from, McGeorge Toyota, can sell you the kit for $580, plus $30 shipping!)

 

They are cheap everywhere. I missed that location as most of the places by the time I added i shipping where within few bucks of Boch. I did the store pickup option so I figure if for some reason something is wrong with the kit, I can just drive back and get it straightened out. It was the sales tax that ultimately hurt, or else they'd be one of the cheapest options.

 

Anyone want/need a twin mattress? I have one that’s fairly new, always had a protector on it, just not working with the bed that it’s in. The mattress would be good for kids or a spare bed, it was a cheapo Amazon special. Let me know if you want it, I need it out of my house.

Best friend needs a pair of fenders for his 2006 WRX wagon, ideally in World Rally Blue as his are rotting out. The 06-07 are all the same, but the wagon has different fenders than the sedan, so to run a sedan set he'd have to convert. Do you have anything? Ultimately if he had to spray them he could but I think given the age of the car, it's probably way better to have something he doesn't need to paint. Thanks!

 

Is there a part number for this kit?

 

PTR13-35150

 

Hm... yea they're all selling at about the same price - list on them is 684 and my cost is just under 6ish. Not in stock either and would need to be ordered.

 

What's everyone up to today?

 

I suspect they're doing a firesale to get rid of them. I wasn't stressing $30 compared to having them shipped and I can just pick them up when they come in. They're fully assembled uprights so it should be a cinch to slap em in. Good excuse to break out my torque wrench.

 

I used to buy all my parts from Boch South because they would match internet prices, but they got a new parts manager, and he sucked, so I started to shop online. But the only thing with buying parts from the internet, the shipping is usually pretty pricey.

 

Every time I go to Boch South, they have to order the parts. Colonial always seems to have what I need in stock.

 

They used to have most things in stock, but it has been years since I bought parts from Boch. At Colonial, they just charge you list price for the parts .

 

I'm usually just buying small parts I usually can't find at VatoZone. When I was looking at getting the smoked headlamps, Boch wanted to charge me their price, which was quite a bit over list price.

 

My friend bought his T4R Pro wheels there and had them mounted with new TPMS sensors. They were great on price, but he was banging his head against a wall a bit getting it done. He planned it so all they had to do was bolt them on when he got there and somehow it still took them an hour.

 

Did they charge him for an hour's worth of labor?

 

Yeah, they are all bad on pricing now, trying to rip everyone off.

Wow, I am guessing their service department wasn't up to the task (I have never used their service department, and the sales department is terrible as well, according to my brother, who wanted to look at a car they had).

 

Brought a couple of clocks that need fixing to a clock guy a couple towns North of me.
A cuckold clock I got in Munich and a ship's clock from my father.
The clock guy looks like he's in his early 70's, but had a herd of Yota's including a minty 1st gen.
When I got to his shop at a rear garage, I spotted a pair of 440 Roadrunners inside.
One of them a six pack car.
We BS'd about cars for a bit ...and the clocks will be fixed whenever,lol.
