1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Eww

 

I don't. But they're willing to teach me. I like chatting up the bus drivers about my projects and the work I do on the side as a youtube mechanic, and made good friends with the driver's union representative. He hyped me up to the engineering manager, and I interviewed with him and he hired me on the spot.

The important thing is I know how to do basic light vehicle repair, and I know my way around tools.

 

That's pretty damn cool. Congrats man, I hope you enjoy doing it.

 

Aim high

 

There should be a new circle of Hell created for people that eat while hosting zoom work meetings

 

They were so ahead of their time. That FWD platform from the Eldorado/Toronado family was so freaking overbuilt. GM went to great lengths to "pre-stretch" the drive chain so there could never be a problem reported with it. It really took some kind of crazy abuse to bring down one of those platforms. It was the price of oil skyrocketing that ended the platform.

It was built on the 66 Toronado platform. These cars had a top speed of something like 135 MPH. This was before governors and speed limiters. They were incredibly stable to drive in the rain and on slick roads.

The only problem was the early models had drum brakes. You could haul ass in one so long as you didn't need to stop.

Definitely don't show it.

 

Its the sound more than anything, its permeating every fiber of my brain

 

When a fill-up costs $170

 

Is it like in Hall Pass when Jason Sudeikis is doing fake chow?

 

Was on a conf call once some years when a guy (from a vendor) was getting a BJ from his wife and forgot he didn't have the phone muted. Everybody on the call got to hear the happy ending. Then everybody started clapping and yelling. The whole thing was funny as hell. Embarrassed the fuck out of him though.

 

I run meetings for my software venture on the toilet sometimes, 8:00 AM's are ruff

 

I would rather hear someone wreck a toilet than listen to some sloppy mfk'er eat their burrito right in my ears

 

Honestly that's one of the best outcomes I can imagine for that, that's hilarious.

 

Best out come

 

Hey folks, I’m semi new here and maybe just bad at forums…
I’m looking for a couple threads(hopefully they exist):
- first gen(2000) headlights - aftermarket (I’d really like DLRs)
- fog lights
- camper builds (“Van life” style builds in the bed/topper)

Any help would be great!
Thanks!!
