haha u ******, i know i will get flamed like no tomorrow...

but after buying vice grips, torque bar, and blah blah blah, that last ****ing strut nut refuses to come off. With it stripped, i had no choice but to take it to my local friendly dealership haha well, i know a real nice salesman there who said he'll hook me up w/ a mechanic there that will take it off for a cheaper price... he's probably gonna cut it off. At this point, I give up and i'm just gonna pay for the damn thing to come off.

what an expensive spring break... i am goin poor w/ all this car stuff!

 

Damn ... on my old car, the nut just popped right off with a breaker bar.

 

Nadir, is this the thread you sent me on my cell phone?

 

breaker bar didn't help me either just stripped it more... and why are those nuts $1.70 each?! i wanna replace all of them... there are 2 more on the verge of stripping.

 

$20 monthly gym membership

 

actually, i pay $47 Gold's Gym monthly fee

 

get your money back.. it ain't working

 

$47USD a month! That's freakin' expensive.

 

Yeah, 47 bones seems somewhat exorbitant(sp) i pay 30/month for my gold's gym.

 

while we are on outrageous gym prices. New York Sports Club is $50/month in Norwalk CT and $80/month in NYC

 

working out at home > going to the gym

The machines are never taken, and you never have to see saggy old man ***** in the changeroom.

 

haha! i'm weaksauce


i ended up paying 30 bucks to cut that piece of **** off... now i finally have the strut bar installed! it isn't as exciting anymore though... especially w/ the money and all the trouble i had to go through for it

 

whats the matter T-Dawg? you can't resist looking at them?

 

I'll admit I look. I don't know why, there's just something funny about old man *****.

 

 

stay away from me at maxima meets

 

are you sure you didn't use standard tools like at the meet on 3/2 someone told me you used standard sizing sockets to take off the strut bolts... hahaha and you stripped them hahaha

 

ppppfffffffffff..... I know you look too.

 

what's so funny! this is all ure fault, u jynxed it at the last meet when "triocet" and "mozy" (stan) tried to take off that bolt!

 

issues

 

I had to do that too. I didn't have access to air tools and my wrench wouldn't do the job. Except I paid $20CDN to get it done.

It was funny too cause I had 5 bolts out except for the very last one which refused to budge. Really ****ed me off that I had to pay $20 to remove one frigging bolt!

 

a simple socket wrench, some wd-40 and a hallow metal bar to get an extention will do take em off with no problem.

 

penetrating oil baby!!

i tried everything, and even the dealership tried the vicegrip method. They had to cut it off.

 

my gym membership is covered by my student activities fee thats part of my tuition i wonder if a gator grip would have done the job

 

LOL! I think you should hand me over your Porsche NOW!

before you let nekkid old man ***** dirty it up.

 

don't go getting tea bagged now..

 

I don't know about you guys, but I go to the gym to look at hot girls running on the treadmill. certainly no old guy *****.

 

I don't know about you guys, but I go to the gym to work out.

And speaking of paying for stupid stuff: I had to pay $15 to take off the rear license plate because the screws were so rusted it was impossible to unscrew. Drilling the screw didn't work either. So the shop used a saw and cut off the part of the bumper where the license plate was attached too.

 

omg, everytime i think about the 30 bucks i spent to take off that ghetto bolt, i get so ****ed off.

I just have to remember what my friend told me yesterday... you live, you learn, then you die. then he reminds me how he spent 60 bucks to install window washer LEDs long time ago, lol! he has learned alot from that situation!

 

 

here's a not-so-exciting picture of my FSTB now installed finally

 

I've done 4 FSTB installs, all on cars no newer than '94 and each one was not a problem.

 

too bad that wasn't my case

 

LOL!!!
