Can I counter your Shitty day? I just dropped off three of my sister in laws at the airport. I was a designated driver for them and my wife for a week of beach runs , shopping and drinking. Anybody seen my man card? I'm resting comfortably now.
A young man in a beat up square body stopped to help . Very nice. Hope You slipped him some HAMB swag . Might be a future Hot Rodder in the making. Sorry Your day started out shitty .
And yet, as a fellow HAMB member has noted in the tag line following his posts, the word "gullible" isn't in the dictionary. Quite strange.
If anybody has been watching Squarebody prices they are starting to make 32,3 and 4 stuff look affordable!
I wonder how many of us have even had the jack out of our daily drivers? I’m guilty. We go over the old ones every year to be sure we can safely drive them for a few thousand miles but overlook the ones we rely on for 15,000 miles. I had a young fellow stop by and give me a jump when my coupes battery gave up the ghost last fall. Great to hear there’s more out there to help us old farts.
At least where I live, I swear... you are far more likely to get help from someone under 30 than you are someone over... My wife says it's because I look like a transient...
Maybe so. After all, you transiented (sic) from Austin to Koloa but then, by definition, she's a transient also .
I've only seen one or two pics of you, but that may actually be true, lol. I know I scare most people over 60 and I don't even have any ink. My banjo player is all inked up heavy, used to be a mma fighter. Has "bezerker" tattooed around the bottom of his neck. And everyone seems to love him! Go figure.. Lol....
My daily has one of those over engineered strange jacks. At least it will work well enough to raise the car up to change tire. My daughter had a flat on her hubby's Very off topic turbo powered thing last year and had to do the Call Dad thing as the car had no spare and no jack. I had to go to a tire store and buy a used tire on that one. My handy dandy little HF aluminum "racing" jack did the trick though. She has lost track of how many roofing nail flats she has had on her jeep as her route to work is also the route to the dump from her side of town.
At the beach in our low 49 coupe parked on the sand. Came back from a swim , hmm that car looks low. No spare, no jack, no phone. Walk to the store to call mum for help . What an arse of a job getting a jack under it on the sand. It seems i dont learn as none of my hot rods carry a spare.
Hopefully you told Square Body that you are cool in your other life and rubbed a little car guy off on him. Anybody driving an old pickup could potentially be “one of us” with a little help. -Abone.
Boss. If it makes you feel a little better, my shitty , crappy Monday was spent fixing a customers OT run into the ground, rotted, abused, worn out piece of total shit, with new parts that don't fit. Ok , I feel a little better .
Nope! I actually had to go back and find my post” Monday Bitching” and I was talking about bad welds on frames and folks junking old parts before trying to sell them to some one. Things I thought were in line with this forum! But it got padlocked after a while, due to some folks claiming they didn’t want to hear about “ bitching” ! It’s no big deal, to me. I just find it kinda funny! Bones
Wow! With the profanity of the subject line and now with “new and improved bitching” this thread has really turned into a rather crappy one! LOL
You can use profanity all you want… we just don’t allow it in titles… To me, “shit” isn’t a cus word though…
To me 'politician' is a 4 letter word. On the worst work days I used to say to myself, "At some point today I'll be going home". Got me through the day but now I'm retired every day is good.
When i saw the pic i came to think of this one. I dont know anything about it other then i saved it from HAMB a few years ago. Its problaby not the same car but since i look it up and find it on my computer could just share the pic. It is a stunning car.
