I got up really late today drove to school. When I finally got there, every parking spot in the lot was either taken or only could fit a really small car. Ended up parking at the local church and walked 4 blocks. A lesson to you all, don't buy a truck if you have to park it places

Why park in a space when you can park on some lady's Toyota Prius? :cheeky:

Ryzza5 · January 25, 2012

Just chuck an amber warning light on the roof and park it on the grass wherever you want.

So sorry to hear it, mate. I wish the best for you and his family.

:shug: It's only virtual, but still it is a hug.

Ken · January 26, 2012

Dang, sorry to hear that. I'm a bit lost for words other than I just hope everything straightens out soon and things get better. :\

Jacob · January 26, 2012

Thanks guys truly.

Paladin Skylark · January 26, 2012

I know it doesn't mean much, but if you need anything from me (and I probably speak for most of us here) please feel free to ask.

superhyper · January 26, 2012

Wow, that's really horrible :eek: Sometimes stuff like this feels so far away and unreal, all the way to the point where it touches your life. I felt horrible just reading that. All the best for you and everyone else who was touched by the loss..

superhyper · January 30, 2012

Frickin' car is doing my head in now. I get one thing fixed and then something else starts going wrong.

Got the new brake pads on yesterday and I thought "Finally, the car might not have anything wrong with it for a while". Bad thing to say. Went out for a drive, turned left at a junction and now I get a knocking/clunking noise from the front somewhere, it doesn't do it constantly, maybe once or twice throughout the turn (not full lock) so it's hard to determine exactly where it's coming from because by the time I realise the car's make the noise I've stopped turning. Could be a CV joint, I don't know. It doesn't do it every time I turn at a junction either. I'm also getting another noise from somewhere which half of me says is a wheel bearing and the other half of me says could be tyre noise from the ditch-finders on the back not liking the cold weather. I went somewhere with my step-dad yesterday, and his Golf was making exactly the same noise and he only replaced the bearings a year ago and didn't seem to notice/be bothered by the noise either so I don't know what it is.

Whatever it is is bound to be more money leaving my bank account. Definitely a love/hate relationship with this car. I love the car in general, but I hate how it keeps breaking something else everytime I fix something.

Working French car aint a proper french car eh? ;D

:p

Maybe it's a warped disk, GTA?

GTAMADDOG · January 30, 2012

Maybe it's a warped disk, GTA?

Only replaced them the other week. Went to put the new pads on as well but they turned out to be the wrong type so I had to use the old pads for a while until I got some others, but the disks look fine.

Fear Deer · January 30, 2012

How many money more or less have you spent repairing/buying parts for your car ? xD just an estimation

GTAMADDOG · January 30, 2012

Can't remember off the top of my head, I'll have to find the receipts.

It's had a new cambelt and crankshaft pulley, auxilary belt and tensioner, front and rear brake disks and pads, two new tyres for the front, water-pump, oil filter, fuel filter, air filter, oil. Which in the scheme of things are all things that could need replacing on any car at any time. It's just a pain in the arse that they've all decided they want doing within less than a year :p

With my job hanging in the balance I don't need the car throwing problems at me all the time.

I suppose as long as the rear beam or injectors don't break then I can't really complain too much. Those are the parts that'll send the car to the scrap yard if they let go.

i broke my skateboard today :cry:

on purpose though :lol: i need a new one, hope to get it tomorow.

also the freaking snow here made me take 2 hours to travel just 10km to my home :fp2:

The Compensator · February 3, 2012

Buy some carbon fibre skateboard! It won't break. :p

Flo · February 3, 2012

That ruins the concept of a skateboard, you won't be able to slide or anything

:lol:

My pathetic lumps of overpriced crap I have to call network equipment died for the 9001st time, was almost a halfway decent day until I had to take 3hr to get it (partially) working again, now I've gone to default settings and by some act of God it works. On the subject of crappy interweb things I apparently have about a 2.5mbps connection to the internet when being promised up to 15mbps, I didn't expect the max bandwidth but this is just sad. Also had to use Windows Vista and the obnoxious tools at my school were being slightly louder and more annoying than usual. :bsod:
