i rarely change my clock when the time change happens so i am off 6 months ditto

 

some more FF drizzle today for protection
and to see if it washes off, guy in Chicago told me it would not wash off in heavy rain

 

Jay do u clean shave ur face , moisturize, and take care of urself as well as ur taco? I could imagine u cleaning urself like the guy on American psycho like 3 times a day lmao

 

i only shave like when it itches mang, usually 10 days is my limits i push them

razors are overPriced!

 

another suspension quote from non-Toyota mechanic tire shop

a bit over $1300 holy fucking shit that is pricey!!!

 

i told them i could get those parts OEM and would cost nearly half of wot you quoting me there!
he said i cannot install parts you bring in...

 

i have some crusty tight bolts n nuts i think perhaps they are upcharging me to get those off

 

2.5 hours to do both LBJs
does that sound correct?

 

What all are you having replaced? Thats not bad if its a total gut job. New coilovers, ball joints, tie rods, sway bar links?

 

well i am not paying that much

monroe strut/coil/mounts assemblies
LBJs
alignment

the LBJs alone are more then $500 including non OEM parts

i can now see why lots do this themselves with appropriate tools

 

was not expecting this haha

 

I’d be sick at my stomach after that.

 

Sounds fair to me. $350-$400 for the struts, $150 for the lbj's, $80 for an alignment. So without labor, shop fees, and taxes, thats $630 in parts. Probably 4 hours labor, so another $400. That adds up to $1030. Then another $100 for taxes and shop fees/supplies. So yeah $1100-$1300 is right.

 

It’s better if you have time and the knowledge to do it yourself than just knock it out in the garage. You’ve got questions we’ve got answers bud

 

@Area51Runner this the number you needed? Only one I see on the struts

 

Yep, thats fine. Discussing with Leon now.

Thanks for checking!

 

Hmm targa top Camry confirmed?

 

This has a bunch on part #'s

 

I'll check it out. Thank you

 

When one of the guys from your company seeks you out to show you his 2 new acquisitions; HK USP-C in black/storm grey and VP9

I don't even talk about firearms at all in the work place though there is 1 person that knows I have a CCW; he has one too but he's not even at work today.
