AZ BS Thread 4.2⁰

I've got one for whatever kind of riding I feel like doing, so yeah!! I just need a Grom now for those times I want to feel like a circus bear.

 

I broke down and contacted a place for a garage floor coating, they're coming out next monday to give me a quote- we'll see what they say.

I liked the racedeck my dad has in his garage save for the fact that IMO it's way too slippery- any sort of ramp is going to slip and slide as you try to get a car on it and even water spills are dangerously slippy.

Also found the cabinets I think I am gonna go with, they're not cheap but they're not murderously expensive either.

I'm basically burning the budget for the rear shocks on the Taco but... I'd much rather have a nice place to install them once I save up again!

 

Wife was up at 3 AM to get ready for an early flight to Canada. Kara has been up since 4. I am now watching Into the Spiderverse at 5 in the morning with my daughter. She is such a nerd already. I love this kid.

 

Do any of you have a trailer that I might be able to use? If not I will just rent one from uhaul or something.

My Z has an oil leak on the new pan I installed. Guess I didn't get it sealed up correctly. I was a rookie when it came to gasket maker at that point of the rebuild. I just can't take this thing apart AGAIN to get to the pan. It is either pull the motor again or drop the subframe. I don't know what is worse.

Guess that is why I need a trailer to haul this thing up to Pitstop Performance and just let them deal with it. They will probably have it done in a matter of hours.

 

She won't make it there on her own?

 

How fast is the leak? Drivable to the shop?

Have AAA?

 

It seems to be pretty fast, I wouldn't want to risk a drive to Deer Valley in it and it really needs an alignment bad so they will do it. It would be just my luck with this thing that it would completely blow the rear rubber seal out or something on the way there and I would have to replace the motor instead.

 

Crystal Head vodka...holy shitballs is this stuff good.

 

having it straight up? I got a bottle of this as a gift years ago and haven't touched it.

 

Straight up, over ice with an orange wedge, with cranberry juice, with lemonade and ginger beer...all delicious.

 

I'm gonna have to give it a shot. I don't usually drink hard liquor, but I seem to always get nice bottles as gifts lol

 

Years ago, as a young alcoholic chef, I worked for a Ukrainian lady who owned a jazz club. Her brother always stopped in while I was closing up with a different bottle of vodka every night. No joke, we tried hundreds of vodkas over the years. His favorite go-to was Sobieski. Hands down one of my favorites as well. The bottle has changed a few times, but the rye squeezin’s inside are smooth, almost sake sweet.


Edit: not sure why the picture is sideways...

 

@Nitori got me thinking about my garage floor and how it needs painted. I'm going to give it a shot myself once the Z is out at the shop. Did little to no research before buying the paint. Asked the person at lowes and they used this paint with very good results. Figured the prep won't be too terrible considering how much i have been hosing the garage out lately.

 

Gentlemen, I present to you Sexy Mr. Rogers costume

 

Thats weird.

 

Weird indeed but it is easier to dig a hole than build a pole, just sayin...

 

I never had the urge to do this to my garage before, but now I do. About how much did all that run you?

 

That was 400 bucks

 

Hell, that ain't bad. Might be a project I enlist my brother-in-law to help me with some time.

 

Crap ton cheaper to do it yourself! Might go that route as well...after I convince the lady to go through the Sanford and Son she has in the garage (but hey, there's enough room for both my vehicles, so no complaints)
