SECURE YOUR GODDAMN LOADS

Once on the interstate on a bike a truck in front of me lost a mattress and I poo poo my pants. Another time in Japan I was late night Tokyo Drifting in my (four door) Skyline, came around a sharp turn at high speed to find a refrigerator box in the middle of the road. I hit it head on and poo poo my pants as it caved in, lucking out that it was empty :v:

Based on what I've seen online, OEM parts were around $80 but are now NLA. But apparently they go for peanuts at junkyards. I don't even need the sensor that threads into it, just the tee itself.

cool, when we get a trip planned out, I will be in touch about the better places to go. I just want to avoid the tourists as much as possible.

Any time in the fall (Oct, Nov) is the best time to come because the weather is perfect and it's considered off season so it's a lot cheaper. Gulf coast is the best coast, the atlantic coast sucks.

Winter is not worth it, and don't even think about spring or early summer unless you don't mind crowds of idiots and ridiculous rates.

Thanks..

Its the weirdest thing that has ever happened to me.

I was just sitting at home a saturday night being hung over and watching the dog when some dude came shouting down the streets, my dog barked at the dude and the dude started yelling at the dog. i told the dog to shut it and figured he would walk away. the dude kept yelling so i grabbed a camera and took a picture trough the window. He did not like that one bit and started throwing poo poo at my house. He approached the front door and started breaking windows with rocks and poo poo. when he started kicking on the door i called the cops. I decided that i should walk out and try too calm him down and opened the door. I did not even get to say anything until something hit me in the ribs, i hunched over and then it all went abit black for abit. i woke up crawling on the floor in the hall and my face and head was on fire. I called the cops again, and they showed up and chased him around the bushes for awhile before catching him. i was taken to the ER "light" where a doctor looked at my face and nose, considered it hosed and sent me home to have the swelling go down. i returned to calm the dog down, continue to be entertained by #neai and have my face feel like it was about to fall off. i called the wife to let her know what was going down, and got her to wait untill morning before rushing to my aid. at some point during the night i became worse, removed one of the tampons from my nose and started bleeding alot, i freaked out and called wife. i was admitted to the hospital, had surgery and went home. most of my face is broken and because of some pressure buildup they drilled my head out.

so i guess, not much of a story

Wow it sucks that happened dude, but i suppose you learned a lot from it. Let the cops deal with it, it's what they get paid to do, don't ever think you can reason with someone that's drunk and/or irrational, and don't ever leave the safety of your house. When I read the part of you leaving your house to try to reason with that idiot it baffled me as to what your thought process was. I don't know how the law works where you are, but hopefully the dude is in jail for a long time and if he has any worth you should sue the poo poo out of him.

So my son is in little league, and we practice hitting in our back yard with a "quick stick" which is a small diameter bat that you hit plastic golf sized balls with for better hand-eye coordination. He tends to hit balls over the fence and our neighbors just throw them back over whenever and it hasn't really been a big deal. One of my neighbors who I thought was a friend decided it wasn't cool by screaming THAT ALMOST HIT ME IN THE loving HEAD!!! keep in mind this is a tiny wiffle ball the size of a golf ball that literally couldn't hurt a fly. So am I unreasonable to think he's being ridiculous? Do I really have to go to a park now to try to get him some hitting practice? What the gently caress.

It could have been just a bad day for the neighbor and your son may have hit it at just the wrong time.

This ended up being it, he came by shortly after and apologized so it's all good now. We've always been cool since I've lived here (over 10 years) so it was just kind of a shock, mostly for my son because they have had a great relationship as well.

My advice is dont bother, once someone pulls a gun everyone is hosed and if there is an active shooter situation its gonna be hard for the cops to figure out who the baddie is and you might end up capped.

if you do security work maybe open carry is better because then people know you have gun and are less likely to start poo poo.

if you are set on concealed carry get a 1911 because they are pure sex

E: the only americans i know are my cousins and they are black so they wouldnt even consider something like that

Yeah I do security and was basically going to use a CC until I get my class G license, because I've come to the conclusion that I can't depend on the cops to be there when I need them, nobody else gives a gently caress about my well being so I have to be able to defend myself from scumbag idiots that have an axe to grind with me. I've gotten seriously physically threatened twice in the last two days and I'm over having to worry about my safety.

I have a Kel Tec 9mm with a little waist band clip that would be perfect. Also have a .38 snub nose but I don't think I'd want a holster, and it would be hard to conceal because all I wear is a t shirt and shorts.

[e] Only thing I'm worried about with the Kel Tec is it tends to jam. Think I'll need to test some different rounds through it.
