Hey bartender!
We have really slow times at work, so we decided to have some 'fun' while getting paid... Nice to use someone else's forklift and mess up their floor....

Hm. Can't think of any trees in the neighborhood that would work I'm afraid.

No forklift required. Engine hoist wll easily lift the car since you are leaving a lot of the weight on the ground.
The pods that need to hear this did, it will sink in when it needs to... Like this...

No, I'm trying to get some of them running... :banghead:

so do you think it was easier than lifting just the engine?
I have a 2 1/2 car garage attached to my house and a 32' x 40' in the back (can fit 7-8 cars)...
All the non-running mopars are inside.
"daily drivers" stay outside...

Karl is back from his nap...
Yep, I agree with you Rani...
But they make me put plates and village stickers on them to "allow" me to have them in the yard...
But if they piss me off too much, I will transfer the plates out of state and stiff them on the village stickers ($60 per car, $80 for a truck). The ordinance says that they have to have legal plates on them - it doesn't say that they can't be from out of state.
I could claim dual residency or say that they are the kid's cars and register them to their grandma's house in Detroit. As long as I have one daily driver registered to this home, what can they do???
I had just enough time to kidnap Mitch and his wife, give them a nickle tour of the area and house, get an ice cream cone at our local home made ice cream shop, then drive them back to the airport (45 minutes away), and they were able to make their flight home... :cheers:
Hopefully it was better than them having a 3 hour layover at the airport.... :banghead:

tsssss... a poke in the eye is better than a 3 hr. layover in an airport...

Busting the upper ball joint (or UCA bushings) was the ONLY downside.. Other than that it was the easiest drop i ever did...

Yes. Easier to control and line up. I was doing the complete suspension as well. And, doing it myself. 50/50 if you are not doing suspension or have help.
Are you afraid that we may be better looking???
Compared to us old farts, you should look like a princess by comparison.... :angel12:

In my previous job, I travelled way too much and layovers were part of the game. With a corporate credit card and a bar in every airport, I made it work. I'm sure I snored really loud on some 'post-layover' flights...

You gotta keep on them to get results...
when we ordered my son's 2011 Shelby, it was built on April 14 and then they had a "quality hold" on them for a few weeks. It took them 5 more weeks to finally ship the car...
I told the dealer when they missed the first shipment date after the quality hold was off, "I will be in here EVERY DAY until it arrives... I was there 5 out of 6 days a week that they were open, having an employee check the status...
Then I was calling every 1-800 number that I could find for Ford leaving them messages asking them why it's taking so long to ship my car... I live 5 hour drive from the plant where it was built and can drive there and bring it home in 10 hours, 5 weeks is totally unacceptable...
The sales manager gave me the number of the local zone office guy and I kept leaving him messages (he wouldn't return my calls). But he did call my salesman at the dealer and chew him out for giving me his number - when in fact it was his boss that did...
If you learn how to "creatively make a pest of yourself" sometimes it helps push them along....
Look for a farmer with camels... they should have hay...

I hear ya - it's the coming home side of flying that sucks - I always have to do the driving home so I have to stay sober... makes layovers less than enjoyable...
Good morning. Had a surprise yesterday, for my marathon Charleston-N.GA-and-back-in-1-day, Enterprise put me in a BMW 328 for 40 bucks. I never drove a BMW before...I see why people like them. It's a turbo, when you stomp the gas from a stop it jumps. I was impressed but assumed it would be weak at higher speeds, getting out on the interstate, suddenly I noticed I was doing 110. I got 34 mpg. This one didn't have all the gadgets like adaptive cruise control, and you can disable the automatic engine start-stop to keep the car running all the time. The shift lever has a button for park another to get it into gear, annoying. Those heated leather seats and the easy driving spoiled me!
Dad was in good spirits. The nurses love him. It just sucks that he can't focus on anything so there's no way to keep him from being bored, that we've been able to figure out... Even the headphones I brought, he listened for a few seconds then lost interest.
