I still get nasty road rage when I'm walking these days. It's f'ing annoying how you'll have a group of 3 hogging the entire effing sidewalk (or group of 2 when it snows, since the plowed section is kinda narrow). A guy pissed me off enough once that I kinda threw him off into the snow. Basically, he and his buddy were walking in a pair towards me. Now, common courtesy would be that you'll fall behind your buddy into a single file so everyone can get by without having to walk onto unplowed stuff. He didn't, so I didn't bother jumping off to the side like I've done for the first month or so when it snowed, and just walked straight into him. The guy was pissed, but I was more so, and he didn't have a snake in his hand, so I guess I looked pretty scary.

My buddy, standing behind me, kinda laughed about it and said my road rage makes most Torontonians look like newborn puppies.

Bahaha, what you need is a big backpack full of books, and you know how those annoying people walk right at you and you have to turn sideways to get by them? Well if you've got the backpack you can nail them with it as you turn. Hehe.

Kind of like a really old video game where school girls smack you with their bags (obviously no ordinary school girl I'm taking about, but hey it's a game)

I'd rather take a 993 with suspension mods and just not worry about it than some I'm gonna blow up today car (i.e. highly modded RX7's)
That's all good if you have 100K+ to spend right up front, or be able to afford to finance/lease the thing for a few Ks a month. However I would agree that a highly-modded RX7 could cost more in the long run, but mostly because it's a rotary so it's that much easier to blow it up (I wonder if the Renesis is any better when it comes to the apex seal)

Comes to think about it, I might just lease a M3 or RS3 for a few years instead of buying those thing outright or financing it.

Yeah, should be fun. Found out last night that Shark Club doesn't have nachos though. Hopefully there'll be more food tonight than last night.

Have fun you metrosexual males.

I finally got to check out Don's shop. It's pretty nice. His garage is huge!

So my alignment specs now are -1 degree camber all around, with zero toe. My old specs were waaay off. Crazy toe and stuff.

Don says my car has some memory steer due to old bushings. Time for new ones?



LaterZ!

Pretty big place I tell you - apprently, bushings do improve the steering feedback on our cars. Is the -1 degree natural on the stock suspension in the rear? I thought you can't adjust the camber in the rear without endlinks, and I had -1.5 in the back due to the P1 setup. -1 up front, and -1/16 toe in for the back

No Joe, we don't know. We're not mind readers. Why don't you enlighten us?

some choice pics are up (16 in total), sorry didn't resize them just in case you guys want them big.

If there's anything in particular you guys might want that's not there, let me know and I'll e-mail them to you

BGK - Aparently you can do -1 in the rear without any camber bolts. Don didn't set the camber in my rear. It was already set to -1.0 and -0.9. My toe however, was waaay ou t of whack.

Stop being a wet blanket, she brought her girl friend from work. Last time I checked, she's supposed to be with you.

Look man, I don't want this to turn into a Jerry Springer episode. If you have something else to say, come meet me in person. Otherwise, this conversation is over.

Oh, that's interesting. Well, in any case it's a legal matter now and someday once things are settled I hope I can share with you all the things I know about her.

Interesting that her little plan seems to be working, though.

Not wanting things to turn into Jerry Springer is exactly why I couldn't come last night. Like I said, hope you all had fun.

Oh, and last time I checked she was supposed to be with me, too. Anyway, sorry to prolong a conversation that's "over".

Oh please, spare me. If that is really what you think is going on, then you really don't know me.

P.S. It's not like you expressed interest in going in the first place. I never heard anything from you until know. Don't make yourself look like an opressed peasant. The whole world is not against you you know.

You know how to get a hold of me. Seems like you're content just slagging it on on the internet. How immature So go ahead, post some more, you seem to always want to have the last say anyways.

Look mang, I had called you a few weeks ago so you were busy, fine. I told you to get a hold of me when you're back in town. Did you get your phone fixed, 'cause it's tiring listening to your voicemail greeting. I haven't heard anything since, so that's why we thought it'd be a good idea to call her out since obviously you weren't gonna come. Otherwise neither of you would have come and it would have been a wasted night. I don't think it's fair that you're pointing out we don't know everything about her. Yeah, that's true because you haven't been around to explain any of it to any of us, yet you don't want us to invite her out to stuff when you don't even seem to be around. I've heard her story, I haven't heard yours so it's not like I'm going to treat her any differently than before. I'm not pushing you to tell me or any of us anything, but it seems like you want us to know, but I'm not going to keep prodding you about this 'cause I've told you enough what I think on the limited info I have and I don't know if it's made any difference.
