1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

I have an awesome story from when I was a manager at the local ace hardware.

It's really long and I'm sure eyes would glass over if I typed it all out but the TL;DR is

guy writes bad check to New salesman for 1k worth of equipment. Thinks he can get away with it and tries to write another bad one 3 days later. Call Cops. I make salesman stall him in the store and block his get away car in the parking lot with a forklift. Cops show up and taze him in the street when he tries to run away.

 

I was bang shifting the Z and cracked the clutch fork right half in two... turns out stamped steel vs pressure plate diaphragm that's over twice the strength of the original equals broke steel. Thankfully they made a cast one that fits.

 

Wait you are forklift certified? That's so hot

 

The Bayliner is Financial Mistake 1-1,000

 

I know a girl who named her Lancer, Lance.

 

A datsun? I had a 710 wagon that I loved but was beat to shit. Had buddies with a bunch of 720s. Datsuns got me into old toyotas because of the similar motors

 

Nah, not fancy enough to own a Datsun, last one in the family that had one was my mom and her '76 B210 hatch. I had an 87 300ZX

 

Hellz yea brother. I've been forklift certified since 18, I learned how to drive a forklift with a 68 hyster that had a 3 speed manual. You could chirp the tires (under special conditions) in that thing

 

Oh I must be bougie as fuck then .. I thought datsun was the trashy thing. Maybe thats because all my buddies were into that 'ratsun' scene so it was only ever 720 710 and the B210.


That 300z looks sweet. Do you still have it?

 

that picture gets me everytime I see it

 

Nah sold it in February, then got a Lexus IS300, then sold that haha.

 

You've been forklift certified longer than @Sperrunner @BartMaster1234 @Running Board Man have been alive

 

Did you just assume his age

 

He already told us he's 40-something

 

That seriously isn’t right. At 6 the parents are making the choice, he kids mind isn’t developed enough for that kind of shit

 

i totally have a gas tank finally showing up for the 01 tomorrow. @Tour991 you have any good clean sending units laying around so i dont need to spend money on a new one that im ripping the fuel pump off of anyway?
