dem beats

Only use mobe here so I have no ide how negative I am. LoL

I am so crabby. For being owned by a mechanc...... Rusty ass exhaust. Fuck. Maybe I should sell this thing once I get it going and spray the visible rust and buy something without rust. Maybe the frame will rot out and I will have to scrap it. You can't reinforce frames can you?

I thik I need that crow foot socket doohicky. Box wrench didn't do shit. Unless I cut the wire and get the hoop side on there it was worthless. Got a shitty set of nice craftsman wrenches on sale though. Kinda cool multi head gripper gimic to it. If I cut the wire on that SOB and it stays stuck, will it be completely undrivable?

Sounds legit.

Saw it at the Detroit Auto show a few years ago, looks proposing http://www.motortrend.com/auto_shows/detroit/2012/1201_2012_detroit_chevrolet_code_130r_concept/ They could have tried a little harder. Looks eerily similar to the BMW 1 series.Wow... no kidding.

I can't even move this SOB with a vice grip......

When I was a kid we took cars apart with a few sockets, some pliars, rope, vice grips and a breaker bar. Now I habe 3 times the tools and still not enough.

Hence why I might just shuffle up to menards in a bit and pick up a cheep set and be done with it. While I hate buying cheep tools its better to have what I need than wait for something better in this case.

I have been to 3 stores and none had an open end wrench for the o2 sensor. I could get a closed one, however I didn't see one of those directly either.

Never heard of freeze off.

That can work actually.

Neither. I have to wrench it. For now I am stuck with an old crescent wrench. Been to 2 stores and they didn't have the right size. If the PB juice doesn't work inwill go to menards and buy a huge cheep set just to get what I need.

Stefan is to hard drives what Matt is to cars.

No clue whay I'm gonna do with that O2 sensor other than spray with PB juice and pray.

PB lube, like me... IT PENETRATES!

A foot long pipe over the handle can be a beautiful thing. Yeah.... that didn't work. Even with my fat ass hanging from it. Probably vice grip and hammer time. After I spray with some knock em loose.

I should just buy a full set of impact sockets and swivels... And that cordless Makita impact wrench. It would be nice... and quiet.

What???

It happened when I was doing pull ups off the wrench trying to get it loose. :-) It slipped a bit and then rounded just a bit near the base.

Oh, as for the dick guy, I did kind of kill him with kindness afterwords and I don't think I will ever deal with him as anything but an equal. Only 3 days with 4 trainers is what it sounds like.

Got some knock er loose. Hope to handle that o2 sensor and wifes oil nut. I know on hardened stuff you need imact sockets.... but on an oil pan plug do you think I will be ok using regular sockets? It started rounding over and before I use the vice grips and a hammer I thought I could at least try it. Whatcha think guys?

:insert captain Picard quadruple face palm:

Yup. I am even debating not discussing it with the District manager (my boss). This guy will probably be moving out of state. I don't want to be looked at as the bitchy new dude, however he did cos the company a new recruit. I'm over the personal hurt now but that night when he held me back it made me feel so bad I almost called the DM to quit myself. I just realized that one dbag who slipped through to be a manager is not reflectant of the whole market or company. I was suprised how highly rated amongst employees they are. Again MN is a completely different animal. The guys in the south have a much busier but much more profitable and easier time.

Eff yeah for double phone poast.

I kind of doubt it. I think it's personal, and he just got the manager/trainer position. Either way he will be gone soon. I got a customer to fall asleep on a bed while I romanced his wife and the guy couldn't even close the deal. They waited some 20 min just to talk to a sales guy too. But really Sean, as we have talked about, this is a job that will make money and make it easier to get into another job. Maybe I will take promotions here, but most likely I will use it to find a better fit. The down time is also enough that I can learn some tech or business degree and use that as leverage also.
