Hello people from far away
-
@renovatedkitchen Hello
-
@renovatedkitchen hello there
-
@renovatedkitchen Hey, how are you doing? #hugs
-
@xeleanorxrigbyx how's your day been
-
@renovatedkitchen Well, with the exception of the car news, not terrible.
-
@tekkdan I'm good thank you. How are you?
-
@renovatedkitchen How are ya
-
@zach I thought you were going to sleep..
-
@xeleanorxrigbyx as long as they don't find anything else wrong with it. That's killer for me.
-
@zach I'm dandy as a papaya
-
@renovatedkitchen Just fine, been a while since I was last on here, so I decided to try and go on here.
-
@renovatedkitchen I'm concerned about that as well. Did you get the Talon back?
-
@renovatedkitchen that's nice
-
@camero This place is distracting....
-
@tekkdan yea. I took a long break from here at one point too
-
@zach Ok then
-
@zach Yeah, it really is. XD
-
-
@xeleanorxrigbyx sure did. It looks good, I cut up my hood so it closes okay. Going to install the hood pins tomorrow, or try to at least. Install front license plate bracket and bolt down the battery box, then install the new ECU so I can start it.
-
@renovatedkitchen Nice. I saw you had a carbon fiber hood, it looks like?
-
@zach no, because papayas aren't dandy
-
@renovatedkitchen aww what's wrong, I'm not feeling hot either.
-
@xeleanorxrigbyx yup. Real carbon fiber. I'm not a fan of cheap parts. The cheapest part in there is the ipod cable I bought for the stereo. Clutch pressure isn't as bad as I expected, but we'll see. Excited about her first start
-
@renovatedkitchen I started texting a friend from school, and since she would talk to me like whenever and would reply back pretty quickly, I kinda lost interest on here for a while.
-
@renovatedkitchen Awesome! The carbon fiber hood is BA. I hope it starts well. :D
-
@zach just everyday stress. Quitting smoking, joining the forces, car, money, work, blah blah. It piles up
-
@tekkdan whatever works for you. It's better to have a good friend that's close by
-
@renovatedkitchen Ah, me it's just non general teenage stuff that seems to happen to me. :P nothing severe, just minor depression.
-
@xeleanorxrigbyx it is. I didn't like the whole black car, so something had to change. Carbon fiber fenders next. I hope both our cars turn out well.
-
@zach severe depression will get to you. But hopefully not. Depends how you deal with it
-
@renovatedkitchen Yeah, it's pretty nice actually. Not very often I can just talk to someone all the time.
-
@renovatedkitchen That'll be awesome! I've got big dreams for performance and aesthetics, I just have to keep it together first.
-
@tekkdan you're a lucky man
-
@renovatedkitchen Yup, me it's just general emptiness...
-
@xeleanorxrigbyx yeah. Dream car is the Supra. In my eyes it scores perfect. Love the look of mine, but as fast as it is, it has that 4 banger sound. Still its different, but the 2jz just has that epic tone.
-
@zach it creeps up on you. Handle it well and you'll be fine. Plan for the worst, hope for the best
-
@renovatedkitchen can't you guys get those up there? I know the Skyline isn't in the states, not sure about the Supra.
-
@renovatedkitchen I usually do. Mostly by cuddling a pillow~
-
@xeleanorxrigbyx we can. But last time I looked, it was $15k for one that needs work. A auto N/A is $8k+. A clean TT 6 speed supra for a reasonable price does not exist here. I almost bought a mk3 supra, not sure why I didn't. They are boxy looking, but fast nonetheless
-
@zach well, as long as you have it under control. I still do that sometimes. Getting close to pulling out of depression myself
-
@renovatedkitchen Not my cup of tea visually, but can't argue with performance.
-
@renovatedkitchen good luck!
-
@xeleanorxrigbyx I still found beauty in it... Somewhere. Although those white, with black or goldish rims looks very nice. What's your dream car?
-
@zach yeah. Quitting smoking doesn't help. Good luck to you too.
-
@renovatedkitchen Thanks :3
-
@renovatedkitchen Man, I'd love to have an Audi R8. Or an Alfa Romeo Montreal. Neither is within my grasp, so I'll settle for the little Audi cousin. Kinda.
-
@xeleanorxrigbyx r8 would be awesome. I hope I get to drive one at work. We get to "valet" er, test drive their cars down the service road and Park them. I've never been am alfa fan. Apparently everyone else is though
-
@renovatedkitchen Oooooh that would be awesome! I don't know about any other Alfas (they don't have them here) but that one just looks mean.
-
@xeleanorxrigbyx Mhm. It's still a shame I missed the time some guy brought a veyron in. :(. And wow. That alfa. Any meaner and I would be cowering in the corner! Lol
-
@renovatedkitchen Oh man. Hopefully there will be another chance! And yeah, that car just looks angry. I bet the engine roars too!
-
@xeleanorxrigbyx YouTube seems to agree that it does
-
@renovatedkitchen why didn't I think of youtube? facepalm well... scurries to the internet
-
@xeleanorxrigbyx but it has a.... 2.6L V8? Am I supposed to say it's small or its a v8. Lol. But light at only 2800lbs
-
@renovatedkitchen whoa.... that kinda gave me goose bumps. I love the muscle car type sound.
-
@xeleanorxrigbyx muscle cars+ long cams= mmmmmmmmmm
-
@renovatedkitchen I think I've decided I'm going to fix cars when I grow up. seems to meet all of my criteria.
-
@xeleanorxrigbyx is that so? Any specifics? Tuning, performance or just regular mechanics?
-
@renovatedkitchen No clue yet. But I get to pull stuff apart, and I don't have to deal with that many people. Plus it's useful.
-
@xeleanorxrigbyx that's pretty true. Would be very cool too. Plus like you say very little people interaction
-
@renovatedkitchen Absolutely. :) Pay isn't astronomical, but I'll be pleased if I don't want to walk in front of a truck after work each day.
-
@xeleanorxrigbyx that's how I see it. As long as it's enough to make life livable and I somewhat enjoy it, it's worth it. Plus, you can show all the guys how little they know
-
@renovatedkitchen That's a plus too. Some smugness is worth showing the boys the girl can fix their car and they can't. :D
-
@xeleanorxrigbyx Hey, I'd be pretty happy if anyone fixed my car if it was broken because I know nothing about cars.
-
@xeleanorxrigbyx I know right? If that can't make a day good, I don't know what would :p
-
@renovatedkitchen Agreed good sir! Well, this day hasn't ended so badly. We have to sell a car to pay for the TT though. >.< No more 280ZX.
-
@xeleanorxrigbyx noooo! :( I would love to help if my bank wasn't in the negatives
-
@renovatedkitchen I know. :( Thanks for the thought though. Part of me wants to fix the TT and then sell the thing but the other part is so freaking proud of that car.
-
@xeleanorxrigbyx its kinda how I feel about my car. It's hard to part with, but I'm the long run is sometimes better to keep. It's a tough call. You never know how major the problems are that it will have
-
@renovatedkitchen Exactly. Trying to gauge how much of a money hole it'll be. Also, if I did sell it, can I afford to take the chance that the next car won't be worse?
-
@xeleanorxrigbyx it really is a tough call. Or a car that is cheaper to repair? But then again. I couldn't. I don't see myself settling for anything non turbo. It's gotta have some spunk to it
-
@renovatedkitchen Exactly. >.<
-
@xeleanorxrigbyx its a harsh world out there
-
Alright everyone, I need to prepare myself for bed. I may talk to you all tomorrow. :)
-
@xeleanorxrigbyx have a good night
-
