if I haven't posted about MY LANDCRUISER yet, check my bullbars for kangaroo prints

New contestant for the "Most horrid poo poo to ever fall out of a car" award. Friends 80 series landcruiser has shagged inner axle seals, so the front diff is full of this green, gloopy, thick, evil smelling mix of GL-5 diff oil and Moly grease from the CV housings. It flows like glue and stinks like poo poo and takes FOREVER to clean up.

Im so not looking forward to having to clean out that axle housing when we do the CV's and swivel hub rebuild

Seriously, though, it's a fun little thing. 188hp turbo motor combined with CVT makes a rubberband type of acceleration that I've never felt before. Looks like an intake and exhaust give it another 15 or so horsepower, but it's already peppy.

Reasons to have it that some in AI can't understand: a) wife likes the look. b) wife likes a higher seating position of suvs/mini-suvs. c) it's even more ridiculous than the 269hp in her FWD RAV4. Most importantly a).

If my wife ends up getting one too we can form the 'Husbands with Wives that drive Jukes Club' where we act as diplomats and apologists and come up with clever vanity plates like 'NTAZTC' :):hf::)

Goddamn, I don't want the past 24 hours to ever repeat themselves.

Several fights behind the store at work, thanks to the parking lot behind the store turning into an RV park for the weekend (since Jimmy Buffett was in town, and played at the stadium behind my store).

I want to know how Jimmy Buffett fans get into fights when Jimmy seems like the chillest bro ever. He seems like he wants to chill out on a hammock by the shore, drink a margarita or two, maybe smoke some weed, and eat a cheeseburger. What part of that is "hey lets get into fistfights" is what I want to know.

Surgery went well, thanks for asking. Still in tons of pain and think the weeks after the incident were less painful than post-op surgery. Ask any tranny!

Gonna go look at a 2003 95 5 speed for pennies tomorrow (facelift, but its an LPT). Wish I had pennies to throw around. :(

Seriously, if it's road legal and driveable, I always go to the jetwash at the petrol station to get really nasty stuff off. More powerful washer, and they probably have a better collection/filtration than "let it run off the drive".

I don't really get why we keep expanding that acronym. I mean LGBT was enough to establish that the group of people it refers to has romantic/sexual preferences and/or gender identity outside the established norm, do we really need to expand it to include every single subset of said group?

As my friend explained to me, some people prefer to be called queer instead of gay because they either have homosexual tendencies but aren't actively gay or because they are homosexual but "don't act like it" or something to that effect. It may also be more of a British thing, I honestly don't remember. He always identifies with the LGBTBBQ group :haw:
