I've curbed my wheels before. It happens, get over it they are only stock!!! Lol

 

i have yet to curb it in the year ive owned my car

 

It'll happen. I curbed my tsw's a month after I got them. You learn after that! Lol

 

i've curbed mine a few times too, its going to happen eventually.

 

I did it once. U also only smash your bumper into a curb once before it's ingrained into your head to park a foot back from any curb.

 

hahaha ya thats one thing i haven't done is smashed my bumper

 

dont gotta worry about curbing anything my truck haha

 

anyone got a power adapter for a samsung laptop i can borrow for about a day. need to test a laptop of mine and don't have the power adapter for it and don't want to spend $50+ on it if the laptop is dead

 

I'm not sure what they look like, but I can check for you.

Johnathan you cheap bastard, just get a shaw hd box and be done with it!

 

if you could that would be awesome. and i'm pretty sure it will say samsung on it. all samsung laptops use the same power adapter.

 

You'll need to show me what one looks like.

 

lol how do you think he afforded his 6 cars???

 

 

I'll see if my sister still has her shaw box that she doesn't use anymore. maybe 50 bucks and it's his! lol

 

you can get a brand new digital box for 50 dollars

 

ive hit my bumper once really bad on a curb thing, now i know when to stop lol.

man its hot out

 

why don't you do those springs you keep posting about on the FB group?

better yet, you could come over here and do some yard work for me

After first getting my Tivo, I realized I was spoiled;
the Tivo kicks any local PVR offerings square in the nutz...

I decided from that point, that I was going to do;

Tivo or No TV



Unfortunately Shaw pretty much has a monopoly, and has been passively for a couple years muscling it's customers over to their HD-PVR setup, and Tivo only works with their old fashioned cable... and when the cable bill hit $65, I said;
F-it, enough is enough.

Cable used to be $45 for tier three or four (the one with speed/history ect), and even then it wasn't worth it.

If I had a room mate I could probably afford/justify getting cable again, but until that happens, I don't need cable...

How has cable enriched my life anyway?

(hint: this is a trick question, TV does nothing but pacify you into wasting your evenings staring at a box with flashing lights!)

I have only been trying to get this antenna thing figured out so that I can hook up my Tivo with peasant-vision ~ which would mean that I would get the local channels, and the Tivo would record the few good shows on it as they were broadcast...

I have had it up to my eyeballs with Shaw's terrible customer service, and their passive-aggressive muscling tactics...
They can keep sending me new offers in the mail every week for all I care - because that means they are wasting their money;
which is fine with me ~ let it's current customer base pay for all that...
(them wasting their money on needless advertisement is probably the reason why they keep having to charge their customers more)

In my less-than-humble-opinion;
Shaw blows goats.

huh? - where did that come from...

I got from my visit with Greg at my place that my car situation was being talked about...

There's nothing spectacular about my situation, and having a couple cheap cars is pretty simple...

 

because i need another person. and i think ill pass on the yard work

 

you dont need 2 people, u can do it by yourself, trust me

 

how hard is the strut bolt to do?

 

you seem to have the wrong idea;

• You remove the strut assembly
• you use the spring compressor to compress the spring (duh!)
• you then remove the top strut bolt
• assembly is the exact reverse

If you have air tools there's nothing to it ~ but even if you don't you can use a little & big wrench (not socket) to loosen the top nut.

Any servicing job can be done without fancy air tools or whatnot...

 

I remember talking to you about Fbodies and we went over the cars you owned and currently own. I wish I had that many but I'm working on it! lol

 

i thought that you needed someone to hold the strut or else it just spins, thats what i have been told. and that you need to use a allan key and a socket at the same time if your not using air tools

 

BAH! ~ most of the car's I've owned, are still in my possession.

one's I've owned and sold

• 1980 Monte Carlo; 305/auto (almost sold the '70 and kept this - thank goodness I didn't)
• 1981 Malibu 4 door; 267/auto
• 1989 Grand Am; Quad4(150hp)/5spd

the only car that's bee written off;
1991 Grand Am; Quad4(180hp)/5spd (the aforementioned 'white' car)
And that accident was not preventable by myself... I made the turn on the red only when I observed the oncoming lane of traffic had stopped.

Yes, that one still kinda pisses me off, I got royally boned on that whole ordeal...

the struts that I have worked on (obviously for 1980's & 1990's cars) all had a small (??8mm) head on the end of the strut shaft;
that end was also threaded and the nut went over it... hense the need for two wrenches...

even if your info was good do you think you could "hold" (what equates to essentially) a smooth shaft with a that has a nut torqued on the end of it to, oh, I dunno, 100lbs?

go to auto value, they can rent you the spring compressor and give you printed instructions on doing the job...

and when you're done, be sure to drive down my street this winter ~ the plow doesn't make it around too often

 

the car wont be THAT low. its only like an inch.

but ours are a 21mm socket with an allan bolt inside of it. i heard that the impact gun just owns the bolt, and all you need is someone to hold the shaft just a bit.
