Never meet your heros ,best not test drive that rig.
Buy a Forza game and buy the car , paint it your favorite color and proceed to wrap it around trees.

Not that car.

That car passes the meet your heros moments. It rides harsh but it's an RS Porsche so of course it does.

That one is different. That one is special. normally I obsess most of all about Italian cars but that car is my favorite new car on the market today.

Took piglet out for a beating

My $2000 heep ,the PO was told the trans was trash because it was slipping hard. I asked what they wanted for it and they said 2k, I didn't argue I whipped out 20 $100 bills and put 3 qts of fluid in it and drove it away , it was leading from the trans cooler so I replaced it for $105 bucks , plus the PO had just put 4 brand new perelli scorpion tires on it , had 90k miles when I bought it. Runs mint.

Any of you guys tried ripping up parkay flooring before? Holy shit what a pain. I'm using a pneumatic chisel, which I thought would make it a breeze. *le sigh they come up in little Jenga pieces

Doing 2000 sqft and that includes ripping up the carpet on top. I think i might just hire someone to put down the new hardwood... I'm cooked and still more to go

A pitch fork maybe? Iv'e run a skill saw at the depth of hardoood thickness and made a pass against the flooring every 2 feet ish ,just use an old blade because you will hit nails but iv'e never run in to parkay , sounds diffacult.
Putting down new hardwood is pretty ease , amazon sells the gun you need cheap and it comes pre finished if you like.
Is the parkay glued down?

It's got a little hail damage and it did take me a full day cleaning the inside , non pro tip , a amazon steam cleaner , like a small one is like magic on the inside of a car.

I have one of these , use the flat bit , your still going to fill trash cans but it will get it better than an air hammer using the same method of prying. Air hammers piss through air.

Lol I'm a contractor... yes I have a flooring nailer but this stuff is driving me nuts! Yes its glued down. Thats why it's taking me so long. Every little piece is a glued down Jenga piece for 60 years

I was just gonna tell Rigid to f*** off till I saw the site lol. I think what you're showing me is about what I have though. My 25 gallon compressor keeps up, and no I'm not burning it out.

If anything is burnt its me. As for Rigid I bought their little roto zip tip tool, thinking I could clean up around the baseboards, but it sucks ass

Sounds like a massive pain , some old glues just don't let go , the good old dead horse glue lol. As for ridgid tools.. junk, Lately Iv'e been going Hitachi on almost everything but cordless drills. Best bang for buck and make the best guns HANDS DOWN. Makita still make good grinders but I like using usually 3 when working with metal so I don't have to change bits , [flap wheels ,cut wheels etc..] I just buy Hitachi ar $35 each , Metabo is the new hitachi Good luck bud , that floor sounds miserable.

Bought my ex a 2013 Hyundai Elantra for 5.3k, 140k miles, in Virginia from some small crappy car place.

She lives in Maryland.

Took it to a shop that does MD Inspections and they failed her saying they could get her to pass but it would be 3.5k in work.

Took it to my car guy, car passed with $550 of work (2 tires, bulb, light stuff, incld 130 for second inspection) .. my car guy said other shop was full of shit.

Anyways ... 3 mins until 5 on a Friday

Lol so we got 10-11" of snow lastnight. This was not stopping me from going to the "juice box store" today. I had to bully my way out onto the main street as the plow had gone by leaving a decent sized mound. Hope I didn't damage anything

When I got back from said store, a few people were out clapping as I'd given them hope of getting out lol.

I've already been out and pushed 3 cars today while trying to work on the floors and it's only 4:15....ps don't take ur BMW out in 10" of snow

Believe it or not I didn't originally intend my comment to be dirty, which is concerning me as I swore to never mature. Am I going soft?

Breakfast dinners are underrated.

My wife and I specifically did a brunch theme for our wedding reception and the guests freaking obliterated the food.

I bet they did. Good on you for doing something different then the old steak or salmon routine.

I don't eat breakfast so it's a nice treat every week or two

I woke up this morning to hear my daughter making more car noises.

"My 'yamborgeenee' has flat tires! need a pit stop and premium gas"

Everything else in my life is total shit right now...but she is pretty great.
