I dunno-- 41 gear pullers but only 36 screwdrivers.

Its 1 am. I just hit Georgia. Im hoping to meet Florida man by sunup.

Edit: met him in a rest stop just across the Florida line. Washing his tighty whities in a sink while wearing a bathrobe and snakeskin boots.

Was he lighting his cigarillos with fake $100 bills? 'Cause if so, I saw him at the Waffle House a few weeks back.

I didn't hang around long enough. I was scared i might witness the reinstallation of the freshly laundered undergarments.

I took off the snows on the Fiat and put on the summers. I didn't remember them being so filthy when I took them off. I was just making a quick stop off to air them up and then I was hitting the car wash for a good scrubbing. A guy at the air pump ahead of me had a spotless yellow NSX. On his way out he commented that I had nice wheels. The wife didn't understand how embarrassing it was that someone saw them as dirty as they were.

I watched the first two. Based on that I'd say you have like... 2 extra hours in your life that might be useful or meaningful. Me? I can't have them back.

I ran out of gas on my motorcycle today.

I cavalierly rolled up to the pump 70 miles from my house showing reserve light and 45 miles left ... reached for my wallet and fuuuuuu... no wallet. Left it in the truck glove box from my AM run. Rifle thru saddle bags and turn up 2 melted Clif bars but zero change at all. I was not feeling desperate - despite there being several people there at the gas station who likely would have bought me a gallon of gas if I made doe eyes, handed them a sketchy blueberry Clif bar and promised to mail them reimbursement. But I was cocksure that BMW must build some give into the system. Empty never means empty just like 100mph indicated is really 94 actual.

So... I tried to make it. Did you know BMW "miles remaining" is accurate to the 1/10th? Did you know AAA will bring 2 gallons of fuel right to you wherever you are?

I do now.

It's possible to hook up a jump-pack wrong after doing it oh I don't know a hundred times and get away with only blowing the 75amp battery fuse resulting in no more than limp mode and a tiny overheating moment before scavenging another 75amp fuse that car parts stores don't stock.

Sometimes at the grocery store I will either add or subtract a random item to a cart while the person is not looking.

In reply to Huckleberry:

I think that has a lot to do with the fact that it's so uncomfortable to ride a motorcycle with a wallet in your back pocket. I always kept a $20 bill hidden under the seats of my motorcycles just in case.

Yeah. I stashed a $20 in with the registration. I carry toilet paper. I can't believe I didn't already have a cash backup.

At Wally World my M-I-Law left her purse in the cart seat and it was open - she turns her head and some dude puts his hand inside and grabs her checkbook (yeah, daughter yelled about that to her). She turns and says I just saw you grab my checkbook - he runs out the store and is long gone - no video and Wally world shrugs it off. Next stop was cashing checks in a Florida casino.

I steer clear of women and their shopping carts - I see a lot of purses sitting and them looking the other way. And if it's a dude I am sure he can probably beat me up.

Currently not sure if it's too early to start my build thread if I don't expect to see the car in person for another 2 weeks.

Instead of buying a carb kit for my 23 year old fourwheeler, I bought a chinese carb off of Amazon for $50. The rebuild kit was $25. Let's see if laziness works out

I've been having terrible thoughts lately about rotary powered P71.

Not just putting the rotary in and calling it a day, but turning it into a frame with a roll cage and rotary motor. A rotary roller skate, if you will.

You'll need to log in to post.
