    That dog looks like a distant relation of the Taco Bell chihuahua

    Not that I’d ever want a chihuahua, but this made me think that if I somehow did the only appropriate name for it would be Chalupa

    Dude, I called Kahlua "Chalupa" by accident several times and I don't even know why :rofl:

    legit.

    tbh it's how I get my hubs to run one of our local-ish race series; we always get taco bell on the way home...

    remember - taco bell is 40 min from here; so it is a "reward" -- I also just realized they are deff open on my way home from late night hockey -- this WHOLE TIME....

    ugly jellybean camry. hail damage, body damage, oil leaks….probably needs steering and suspension work but i just change the oil and run errands or across the state on occasion.

    215k miles or so, heat/ac/cruise/power/keyless all work.


    its a proper shitbox but since its a camry it might as well be invisible to the eye of the public

    She's in love with the little goober, and I'm not gonna lie I'm gonna miss her too

    Kahlua Triscuit Chalupa (cause I can't be consistent) is actually more attached to Steph than to me surprisingly :rofl:

    But yeah having her around has helped. We miss Bronx, but she said if we were gonna adopt down the road, she'd actually want an older pooch so it can live out the rest of its days loved and pampered

    Were yours the one piece forged or welded tube ones? To my knowledge everyone with shot bushings had forged one pieces

    Either way I know their quality went to shit because the replacement balls another friend got after my arms already wore out before the ones original to my arms

    It's been years but there was a subtle change in the ball joint like a gold colored galvenizing to dull Grey or something like that that I think is how you know if they're good or not

    Another thing I just though of is if the arm is wider than the piece of tube on the frame they bolt to when you tighten the bolt that would place axial load on both bushings till they wore out
