Dentist appointment this evening at 5. Will be interesting to hear the hygenists thoughts on my teeth after having that electric toofbrush for a month compared to the last time I went in.
I have a brush at work that I'll use before I cruise down, but I meant to bring floss with me too since I ran out of my work supply. Oh well. She can scrape that shit off.

I can just cut the springs in half, right?Desertbreh wrote:Need to do something about that wheel gap bro.
Real "build" plan: OEM Mazdaspeed6 rear sway bar, some more aggressive brake pads, maaaaaaybe OEM MS6 springs - pretty much the same ride height but better spring rates.
I did see a full set of speed6 takeoff shocks+springs for $200 shipped on ebay so maybe that'll be the easy button plus the sway bar. If I had workspace I'd probably go ahead and order them, but since I am now at the point of paying shops to do work I'm about the added labor cost and uncertainty of random morans fucking it up.

Just drive it till it rust away. Then replace appliance. Did you mod your dishwasher too?

because his time, efforts and funds will go into the black hole. Then we will hear him bitch about the effort he put into it and why its worth XYZ when he goes to it. Can just leave a vehicle stock and simply drive it like a pleb?

Also, I spent less than expected and it needs less additional crap than expected too since the tires are good, stereo is really good, bluetooth streaming works well, and a remote starter has already been installed... Spending $150 on a sway bar and brake pads is practically negligible.
I guess, but I thought the point of this one was the be a beater to survive your lifestyle change. I assumed this would be an attempt at driving a one notch above vanilla Camry.troyguitar wrote: ↑Mon Feb 18, 2019 2:53 pm Also, I spent less than expected and it needs less additional crap than expected too since the tires are good, stereo is really good, bluetooth streaming works well, and a remote starter has already been installed...

right, I just thought this car was an attempt to be a pleb. Best of luck on the modding front then. Didn't know those parts interchanged.troyguitar wrote: ↑Mon Feb 18, 2019 2:55 pmI don't leave anything alone, whether it's a car or a spice rack.

Um, that's a big no on that dawg. It makes him happy and most of the move to the Taiga does NOT make him happy so I think a little $$ on the car would go a long way.

I cheated on the diet yesterday at the outlet mall and got a thing of the hotdog pretzel bites from Wetzel Pretzel. So greasy Definitely paying for that a bit today.
Had a scheduled cheat meal Saturday night. Went to my favorite pizza place out here and had my first underwhelming pie from them Crust was noticeably thinner than usual and less greasy than what I like this place for.
