New England B.S. Thread

Picked these up today


edit: I made a hard pass on the two nice Ford ones I saw. They LOOKED nicer, but come on, we know they’d break if i tried to use them

 

Not taco mods, but I finally got around to tinting my tail lights and replacing the STi badge with a black bordered one. I’m thinking of getting a solid black one though, not a huge fan.


@tcBob why the heck do I keep getting the antigravity mod???

 

Ford ones are indestructible because they have to live up to the test of breaking down 24/7

Speaking of which… I need a new transmission in my F-250

 

Oh that looks tasty...

 

Finally sitting down to eat some grub. Finished spraying the trucks and then worked in getting my second skid plate in, no instructions so that was an adventure lol. Whipped up some grilled Lil necks

 

Yeah… 8 quarts or so of brand new ATF

 

Damn, I’d buy the Ford ones!

 

Interesting news story on the North Maine Woods and the retirement of its long-term director.

Let’s hope his ideas continue.

 

My 13 year old just came home in a state cruiser. Ended up on a dirt trail next to the highway like 5 miles away. No harm no foul. Apparently going to a girls house.
I can't be mad, at his age I was sneaking out in the middle of the night and rowing across a lake in Holliston to get action.
Cop put the bike in the explorer. Dirt and scratches everywhere. Center console got gouged bad from the pedal.
He was here for 20 minutes... He's got an 03 ac off-road and wanted to show me like 1000 pics.
Had to explain to my son after how lucky he was that the cop was having a good day. Could have only been worse not many better outcomes with where he was.

 

I know a lot of you guys own campers so I'll throw this out there. I don't have a great back so we replaced our stock camper mattress with something more supportive. We have the 'old' mattress if anyone wants it. The camper is a '18 model and we bought it new in '19 as a leftover model. Mattress is clean, always under a protector. Those who know me know I take care of my stuff. If you have an older camper and looking for a newer mattress, this could be a good option. It's a full queen (not the shorter camper queen). If anyone wants it, it's on CL now, but you can have it for free, just come get it.

 

MA residents, I'm trying to renew my license online and it's asking me to verify my lawful presence. Of the options they give me, the only one I have on hand is a birth certificate. So, I select that option and it's asking me for a 'registered birth certificate number'. Mine doesn't have one of those... Anyone else run into this? I'm sure I have the original copy because it's embossed with the Town's seal and everything, no number on the document.

Another reason to absolutely hate this stupid state's RMV inner workings. Hey, let's ask for information no one has, then they'll have to come waste half their day at the RMV!

 

In the process of transferring my NY license over and I needed 2 forms of lawful presence among a laundry list of other things, found out there are no walk ins and the only date remotely available was over a month out. Still waiting...

 

Great... sounds about as smooth of a process as i anticipated, guess i should have started this process sooner.

 

The old address is my parents house, and if they hadn't sold and moved out I wouldn't even be bothering

 

Yeah you need to get a new one. I had one, made an appointment just to find out mine was ng either.

Hey at least you found out before hand.

 

So even if you go in person, i still need a new birth certificate? I assumed if i went in person, the old id was all i`d need for a renew. Thats a load of shit!

 

Yup, my wife's didn't even have that seal so she went through the appt process. Mine sucked too due to being an adopted kid at 6 months old.

 

Fuck RMV, that is all...

 

Not arguing that in general. My particular case was a tweak
