At the last G n R Event I asked Dave (aka Silver74insocal) why he wasn't driving his car. He said he needed to yadi yadi yadi yadi yadi; to which I responded "Damn Dave. What is it going to take to get you off your ass? Do I need to post something and ridicule you? To my surprise he said yes or possibly a flogging would work. To that end; (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) Dave, get off your ass and get to work on your car. It ain't going to fix itself. That being said I thought to myself I'll bet there a several people here that would like to post their names here for public motivational intoxication. Or, perhaps you know of someone who needs that little push in order to get the ball rolling again. Well this is the place and I'm confident that these people will thank you for your concern and support, albeit in this form. Nothing below the belt and let's keep it constructive. Oh, one other thing. If you call someone out you must be willing to assist this person in their quest in some fashion or another. If you have any words for Dave or have a special someone that you know would appreciate your intervention on their behalf, then post away.

It is getting cold out there, but finally finished up the work that has kept my car off the road since July when I went in to replace a bad throwout bearing:
New clutch, (and all the $tuff you're supposed to replace when doing a clutch job) new flywheel new rear wheel bearings new trans mounts and new CV joints. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) All just in time for the car to hide in the garage for another 4-6 months until spring arrives. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) A warning to the procrastinators entertaining the idea of actually getting something done: Working on your car just leads to finding more things that need fixing. |
