1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

In an unprecedented set of occasions I talked to both of my parents yesterday

 

Knocked out several more of my dread maintenance items including the 6.7 tcase and rear diff.

No dread for difficulty, I just hate dealing with fluids when the driveway and street are not level and with my number of projects the waste oil is annoying

 

I as a favor put some refrigerant in my moms truck the other day she has non stop been calling me telling me to fix her truck because i broke it, like no your cheap butt got 2 different sized tires that destroyed the center diff thats why it clunks soo hard going from drive to reverse not because i added refrigerant

And your ac wasnt working to begin with which is why i added some refrigerant so you cant tell me i broke that either

The abs pump someone deleted because you were too cheap to fix or replace it is the reason why your dash is lit up like a christmas tree

And no your brakes arnt going out i just replaced the pads and rotors the bald ass tires that you got not too long ago but were/are too cheap to get a 40 dollar alignment are the reason why you keep loosing control

I can go on

If she would kindly ask for me to look and diagnose the truck and listen to my diagnosis it would be different but for anyone to just keep telling me i broke something on their vehicle I had nothing to do with than tell me its my responsibility to fix, without giving me parts or money to buy parts or listen to me tell them whats wrong, just no

 

That's annoying


Have you thought about trading her in

 

Do you want to look 80 by the time youre 50

 

Lol they opened up Disney world, this is gonna be good

 

I got first dibs

 

Damn nice! That takes a touch that I do not have.

 

All the credit goes to the 13 y/o Chinese laborers making stuff for Amazon

They have a touch I do not have either

 

My mom calls me stupid and asks if i feel like an idiot

My dad, we just dont talk

He only just tells me to not buy junk and save my money

 

Both of those are tough, sorry man.


I have been through a lot of that, let me know if you want to talk about it.

 

But you're not in Indiana

 

Throught my life ive stayed at friends houses more than my own when i get the chance

Than theres my brother who said "what a piece of shit shop" when i didnt have some special tool that i always just work around in my garage when working on his jetta

I just want that welder money and spend it how i want just gonna route a percentage if my check to an account whose card im going to shred so i cant use it

I was supposed to graduate this month but not enough people signed up to my last class so it was canceled

 

USPS 2 day shipping

 

Parts comparison.. $48.33 shipped from Partsouq in the UAE compared to $78.91 shipped from McGeoge. Shipping is higher from VA compared to the UAE.

There is some markup in parts, even after a discount.

 

I got my front diff actuator for $200 shipped from the uae, its $357 on toyota parts deal

 

Cool.. The price difference on smaller items adds up to big money fast.

 

Snowfall on FX/Hulu is fucking great. Actually consider it to rival Breaking Bad for the best drug empire drama on TV

 

I got some corn for you

 

How's it compare to Ozark
