PennSilverTaco's "Perfect 5-Lug Regular Cab" Build, Aspergers, and General BS MegaThread!

I got hit, and I don’t know how or when it happened...

 

Note how straight the passenger side looks by comparison...

 

No scratches, or dents, or anything; Bumper corner is just pushed inward...

 

My new radio arrived a full day earlier than expected; However, my mom won’t let me touch it for 24 hours because cardboard is a major carrier for the Coronavirus. She put plastic bags on her hands and carried it to the garage. I will install it on Thursday if the wiring harness from the 1330 fits it. My new wiring harness is supposed to arrive on Friday and my neighbor will fabricate a new one for me. This should be the end of my stereo problems!

 

It better!

 

Probably, but not worth it...

 

That sucks, was a new bumper too.

 

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again; Grand Theft Auto was how I made it through eighth grade and the first two years of high school without going medieval on other kids who bullied me; My uncle got Vice City for Christmas in 2002, and brought it to our house for a visit in February 2003. My parents bought it for me as a 14th birthday present in March 2003; I lost interest in it 2004, when San Andreas came out...

 

Vice City is crude compared to today’s “HD universe” GTA games, but it was reliable...

San Andreas is, by far, the glitchiest game in the GTA franchise I’ve ever played! Sometime in 2005, my copy had some sort of glitch where the game would give an error and I’d have to start from the beginning. Luckily, I was able to go into the previously saved files and salvage my progress. I did actually beat San Andreas, but I became fed up with it’s glitchiness; I tried to sell it at GameStop, but they wouldn’t take it because it was an early copy with the infamous “hot coffee” (look it up). I never utilized this, but I was pissed that my game was unsellable, and I ended up purposely melting the disc with magnifying glass. I bought an “enhanced” version of San Andreas for my Xbox 360 like five years ago, but never played it and haven’t seen it in years...

 

GTA 4 came out in 2008, I played it for the first time in 2009, and I finally got my own copy when I bought my first PS3 in 2010.

GTA 4 is more reliable than San Andreas, but not without its glitches; One note example would be if you choose the timeline where Kate Mcreary is killed at the end. Niko will get a call from Kate after the story line has been completed, asking to go out on a date, like nothing happened...

Vice City and San Andreas both offered the player plenty of garage space to store their vehicles; GTA 4 only had two “save spaces” outside of each safehouse, and cars were not customizable beyond getting them repainted.

 

One notable detail in GTA 5 is that almost every vehicle seems to have a manual transmission, including...

• The Emperor, a sedan based on a 1980s Cadillac Fleetwood.
• This SUV that resembles a 2007-2014 Suburban.
• This SUV that resembles a 1999-2004 Jeep Cherokee.
• An SUV that resembles a Mercedes G65 AMG.

All of these vehicles clearly have clutch pedals, even though their real-life counterparts are automatic-only...

 

GTA 5 made history by having three playable characters, and even meth-smoking psychopath Trevor Phillips is still lovable in his own twisted way almost seven years after his debut!

 

The last video game that I played and enjoyed was the Uncharted Series.

 

My County has a confirmed case of that damn virus, was hoping it would bypass here.

 

I've only ever played A Thief’s End all the way through; It came as a bundle with my PS4. I think Drake’s Fortune was the second one...?

 

I’d like to make an observation here; In a 2nd Gen, whether you have a 2.7L or a 4.0L does not seem to have any effect on how powerful or efficient the A/C is. When I worked at the detail shop, one of my supervisors had a 2010 DCSB TRD OR, and I had the opportunity to try the A/C in his truck; I wanted to compare the performance of his A/C to mine...

His A/C was about the same on its highest setting, and if anything my actually works a bit better because my truck has the half interior space to keep cool! This was in 2019; His truck had like 56K miles on it and the A/C had never been serviced, unlike mine which had just had it’s evaporator replaces the previous September!

 

I’ve had minimal contact with my friends as per CDC guidelines...

I drove two miles to my friend Mike’s house to get a PS4 controller charger from him. My charging wire did not work and I wasn’t about to risk going to a store, so he met me in his driveway and handed off the charger through my window. I promptly sanitized it upon getting home...

While driving around Doylestown yesterday, I saw my friend Doug out for a walk; He was wearing a mask and gloves. I stopped and we chatted while standing at opposite end of my truck bed; My truck bed is six feet!

The rest of my friends I’ve been talking to via text and Facebook; If the coronavirus can be transmitted by talking on the phone, then we are totally screwed...

 

Radio came in yesterday, but mom won’t let me open the box until tomorrow for health reasons; Why would the A/C not be charged...?

My A/C has worked fine since the dealer replaced the evap core in September 2018!

 

For the white Critter truck or the other one?
