You and shocks have an interesting and mutually destructive relationship.

LOL. The one I replaced I got from the breakers just to keep her on the road. But I've got a complete set of Bilsteins with Eibach pro kit springs to fit when I get round to it. Had to salvage the bottom rubber pad off the old shock. They're almost impossible to source, for some bizarre reason.

Old shock, please note you can see the floor through the bottom pan.

The idiot lunatics driving on this country's highways nearly did it yesterday.


I'm in the left hand lane going 75 mph, in the dark, on a two-lane divided highway with a grass median strip when I see tail lights on the median.


I figure some fucking moron has lost control and I'm about to witness his car going end-over-end or rolling. While I'm trying to figure out how best to avoid getting killed by the stupid ass, it suddenly dawns on me that the goddamned asshole is actually trying to pass someone by driving 85 mph on the grass median (in the dark).


The simple-ass fucking jerk isn't satisfied by 75 mph and is in such a goddamn hurry that he has to endanger himself and 10(?) other people by attempting such a stupid stunt.


Where do you find stupid fucks like that?


The motherfucker should be strung up by his genitals.


 
Let it go. It's daylight now.

On the upside, the vacuuming is finished. Which makes me happy. And a clean kitchen floor too. Simple pleasures.

Now it's time to clean me.
 
I've been having fun vanity searching.

Who knew Mr Ann had such a crush on me? Or that I was Emerson?

It's good that these lonely people can lead such rich, vicarious lives, thanks to the rest of us. :rose:


I considered it a compliment, and for a time took to reading some classics, and indulging in a finer brand of scotch, tea, and marmalade.

I did a rather terrible job though - not from a lack of trying, mind you - maintaining the accent.
 
Let it go. It's daylight now...


When some yahoo dumbass nearly kills me with his fucking shit driving, I don't "let it go."

I have a premonition that some shit-for-brain, impatient jerk asshole is going to kill me with his lousy driving on a highway.



 
It was a wrench, seeing the conversation derailed, but it's nothing a big wrench, a judicious application of lube, and a few quality screws won't sort out.

Good of you to post an American Standard English. Most Yanks wouldn't know what a spanner is.

Better luck next time.
 

For example, does anyone really believe this?




I've interacted with this guy. He's barely bright enough to ride a bicycle or scribble his own name. I find it unbelievable he once flew one of the most advanced aircraft ever built or makes any money writing. He seems to have trouble maintaining a clear line of thought, much less stringing more than four words together into a meaningful sentence.

From everyone with whom I've discussed him, it seems he's universally a laughing-stock here.
