Tomorrow's the gf and I's 2 year anniversary.....yea

i fucked up, i lied and lost her trust and loyalty so just before it i fucked up and shes gone now. So tomorrow im going to play disc golf alone and then go out to a nice resturant dressed up alone like a dumbass if anyone wants my advice... no matter how much it may hurt them in the beginning just tell the truth first and dont let it boil over

New wheels on my Benz... All 4 are worth or $2000 new and I got them for $350, they were just collecting dust in someones garage.

Well, the rears needed new tires and the front tires were nice and good. So I buy "used" tires from a guy on CL and they turn out to be great tires. In fact I don't think I could have gotten a better deal on them. 95% Tread and paid $100 for both (255/40ZR19's). Bring them and the rims to Discount Tire to have them balance and mount them.

As they are getting all of them ready, they find that one of the rear rims has a bend in it. It's not enough of a bend to notice while driving, however, they go on. THEN they call be out to my car and show me that one of the front tires has a bubble in the inner sidewall... Which is very odd because the guy I bought them from and I looked over the tires before when I picked them up. Well, they wouldn't put them on my car and let me drive away with them because it would be a liability. SO, I have to get new front tires. So back on CL I go, in search of another pair of tires (235/35ZR19's). BAM, found some for $90, for both of them. Had Discount Tire put my stock ones back on and drove out to get the tires.

Picked them up and headed back. They get to work and put the tires on the new rims and put the rears on and then go to put the fronts on, only to find out that the studs are too short for the offset of the rim. So the guy is like "it's ok we have studs you can buy to get these to fit." Well, hey didn't they were out of stock. So, they guy goes around the WHOLE building/shop searching for studs to get in there. He comes back with like 4 different kinds of studs that are the right length but not the right kind. He's like "these will do for now, I'll get them in there to hold the wheels on but, I wouldn't do any long drives with these like this, until you get the right ones in there."

SO, $280 later, I am driving home with my new rims on with all basically new tires and studs in the front that aren't the right ones and at 40mph and up, my steering wheel shakes... I need new lugs NOW.

Yikes Mark that suck!!!

Sorry Alex... live and learn I guess?!?!?!?!

Yeah, blows but, the guy that sold me the wheels is now giving me the longer lugs that I need. :lol: I guess there is one good thing to come out of this...

I guess this isn't really a rant but then again it could be:

This guy last month called me with a wrong number, started talking to me and I asked who it was and he said somebody then he was like "it's me Quint" I'm like you have the wrong number and hung up and went on with my business.

Now fast forward to today, I get a call from the same guy. I always answer the phone with my name because I never know who is going to call me because I give out my cell for work and freelance so I always throw my name out there to be somewhat professional. Anywho this is what the convo went like:

"Jim M......" - Me

"Hey man" - Him

"Hello, who is this" - Me

"It's John from blah blah..." He continues on for a while

Then he comes back to say like "Hey Quint"

"This isn't 'Quint', you have the wrong number" - Me

"DAMNIT!" - Him

"You're an idiot"- Me and I hang up

:welcomeFP: I'm just like wow how do you get the number wrong so much? About ready to save his number in my phone book so either I know not to answer or answer and call him an idiot.

New rant...

What was with people driving yesterday. Going into work yesterday I was on a 6 lane hwy (3 going each way), I'm in the middle lane and I'm pretty much the ONLY one on the road because it's early morning like 5:40ish. This lady takes a right onto the road I'm on and pulls into the lane, almost hits me doing it then sticks in the lane when I lay on my horn. During all this I had to slam on my breaks and go from the speed limit 45mph to almost 20mph!!! She didn't speed up or do anything I had to go around her. I was like WTF!! I have no problem with you turning but please go into the WIDE FREAKIN OPEN other lanes and not the one that's occupied!!!! Or if you do speed up!! Don't do 20mph so I'd freakin hit you. Luckily I was awake and was able to slam on my breaks and change lanes but I was like do people look anymore when they turn?

To back my final statement of the last paragraph up, some douche-canoe on my drive home from class yesterday took a left having to cross both lanes going the other way than where he was going and he perfectly saw me and another car coming and did it anyway, as slow as possible too. What is with people! Me and the other car coming in our direction had to slow down from the speed limit 55mph had to only go to about 40 but I had to slow down to brake and go to like 20mph cause he took his bloody time and half his car was hanging out of the median where he stopped to go on to the road going the other way.

What is coming of people, it's seriously like they want to die. The incident in the morning I think that lady needs her drivers license taken away cause she has no excuse not to see me.

I think that T-shirt needs to be updated to "I run a bullshit operation from a Douche-Canoe"

Best lines ever!

Its never going to stop. Driving lessons are bullshit these days.

I finished my test in literally about 1-1:30 minutes, I drove around the block and ended it with a really crappy parallel park on an empty side street.

There is absolutely no standards, so kids that don't know how to drive and they put reckless idiots on the streets. You should see how many times I've almost been hit by a dumbass. it is mostly girls thought (no offense to you FP gals and good drivers) because they treat a car as another accessory and they think they can drive, eat Dunkin' Donuts, and talk on the cell phone all at the same time. At least the guys focus more on driving, they are just bad at it.

I mean that Allstate commercial with "Mayhem" playing an "average teenage girl" is frighteningly realistic.

WHY IS THE INSURANCE RATE FOR TEEN GIRLS LOWER THAN GUYS?!?

/topic jack/rant

  • Founders

Brings me back to my drivers ed class in high school when I was 15 and only barely have driven I was doing everything perfect, so much so my teacher thought I already had my license and almost removed me from the class :blink: but people were having the most difficult time with the simplest tasks like parking between 2 cones.

Then there were girls in my high school that totaled 2 cars before they turned 17!! :lol: I surely as hell as their parents not given them a 3rd car!

Our insurance rates would all drop significantly if they made the drivers license test harder and you had to go in for a quiz or something every 5 years or something. Another thing I agree on Havoc is how I'm paying insanely high rates for insurance just because I'm a guy yet have only been in 1 accident (which was ruled not my fault) and have no speeding tickets, warning or whatever. It's stupid, we should be able to prove we're not a reliability risk instead of being sexist and tacking on these prices.

WHY IS THE INSURANCE RATE FOR TEEN GIRLS LOWER THAN GUYS?!?

It ultimately doesn't matter what their beginning insurance rate is because the women eventually end up paying more than you since they suck so bad at driving. :angry:

I pay $135 a month for Gieco's top of the line services and coverage.

Come at me, bro.

i pay $177 a month for two cars full coverage. something like $1550 a year including $300 some odd for surcharges.

and i love my new windshield in the subaru that i paid nothing for. better than the one that a big ass crack a 1/4 up from the bottom 3/4 of the way across the whole windshield.

  • Founders

I guess I should be happy with my full coverage at $126 but that's because I'm still on with my parents and I pay them the money each month. I'm scared to look at what it's going to be for the 6er and the Camaro here in a couple months...

Still though I think insurance should be a lot less and if I don't make a claim in x time I should get money off. Least it's not taking me to the cleaners like health insurance used to till work got a new program...

I'm just gonna put Antique plates on the Phoenix and buy a $100 shitbox to drive.

Anyways I have added on my list another t-shirt idea for my screen printing class.

I had a hippy-bitch in school tell me I'm a terrible person because the Phoenix isn't "green"

I decided to make a shirt that says "I'll destroy this earth, one hydrocarbon at a time."

Or "My car cancels 5 Prius'" or "I get 12mpg, come at me bro"

:agreed: make them all.
