u know how people rave about that rear progress bar.. i had one on my GD and it made the car drive like crap. it's too stiff and wat the fits really need is a stiffer front bar to rid the initial sway.

 

then u got these novis folks blah blah about how a stiffer front bar will induce understeer... i said stiffer not stiffist dogdamn 4" diameter solid pipe. so stupid.. lol

 

kinda in a bad mood after driving a faking rwd pickup truck the last two days. lol. yep a nissan one the rental place gave me. these things are so disconnected front and rear it reminded me of the progress bar i had (and immediately sold) on the GD. like the front of the car is not the same car as the rear.

i need to get back in my GTI asap.

 

Awww you're in a Frontier? I loved my '06 Frontier.

I need to see if I have pics of my RCs I can post up. Thanks to photobucket holding my pictures for ransom...I can't link to them without paying for a membership.

Yeah as I was selling parts off the Fit, the first part to go was the sway bar and the DD ride comfort was night and day.

 

My concern with tools is really goofy but it boils down to this:

I want almost zero storage space in my garage haha. Right now my garage is a dark, cluttered mess. Over the winter/next spring I want to insulate, drywall & do some electrical in the space. I want one cabinet for the few tools I will have my detailing supplies. This quick sketch I threw together really badly should give some idea of what I'm seeking.



Wheel racks on end of garage, window with two LED bars beneath to light the car for minimal shadow when detailing, one cabinet to hold everything, two open shelves above to keep trinkets & a bluetooth speaker setup.

 

Looks good to me. I was thinking of wheel/tire rack for my garage too to store the stock wheels off the miata and civic lol. Better than storing them in my hobby room in the house LOL.

 

yah it was a frontier..lol okay for low speed but mang that thing is like should be illegal to drive on hwy on bumpy wet ground! so unpredictable and getting tossed around in crosswind. i need to get back in my performance oriented street cars mang.

hey nice sketch mike.

 

alright, flight back was smooth, shuttled back to the office late afternoon, picked up my GTI and zipped home. the drive was SO RELIEVING and NICE big smile all the way home.

 

Always nice to get back in a car you enjoy driving =)

 

true that!

 

on the menu today.. going to enjoy motoring my GTI to work and seriously try to pace myself rest of the week. got another busy as hell work week coming up..

after work, going to install a few rivets in the side diffusers on my R using the new Makita. should be a quick walk in the park.

have a good thursday everyone!

 

school teachers... so stupid some of them. my kid is an outgoing straight-A student and some kid is messing up a group project so he told the kid to either do his part or stay out of it. teacher sends my wife an email that my kid was bulling him. WTF mang..

this is why our countries are losing. too soft on the kids. faking pansy education.

 

Ugh that is freaking lame. Everyone is so freaking sensitive nowadays.
Person #1: "Do your portion/job!"

Person (if you can call them that) #2: "Oh no...you spoke sternly at me for not doing my portion of the work/responsibility I'm telling teacher/boss/HR on you! My feelings are hurt and I do not know how to deal with confrontation/life *runs away crying*"

 

^ exactly!! so much faktardation

i faking hate sensitive losers.

 

told my kid to remember 90% of the people, when you go out that front door, are idiots. leaders use all sorts of people including idiots and make something big. your job is to learn how to make idiots feel they are a part of something good, feel worthy, and make them willing do wat you want them to do to make your group win. that is wat leadership is all about.

he said he will try again.


ofcourse i also whispered his teacher is probably part of the 90 percent too. . haha.

 

this am was still pretty crazy at work. need to dial it back several notches and slow the hell down.

think im going to shop for a lego kit. lol

 

CPO A3 2.0T FWD with Bang & Olufsen stereo and Virtual Cockpit sounds like a nice daily.

I have car ADD. It is a problem.

 

haha . i've not heard the B&O yet but the Fender stereo in my autobahn GTI and R is very good. i was impressed how good a factory stereo can sound.

Fender as in the guitar and amp maker Fender btw.. a Harman company

 

The B&O in that 2011 A4 avant I was considering was decent. Not amazing...but it sounded full.

Whats virtual cockpit?

 

i think he's talking about the lcd in the cluster. no more analog gauges.
