That's what? half a dozen bolts and 250 lbs?

In reply to Kenny_McCormic:

Half a dozen bolts (two of which are torqued to 200 ft lbs), 250lbs of engine (Scooby-swap), 150lbs of transmission, two fuel lines, two coolant lines, clutch cable, wiring harness. And no hoist to support the weight. Ever tried to finesse a 250lb flat four into alignment with the clutch splines by hand and without help?

Admittedly, the most frustrating part is that I'm going to do all that so that I can put it all right back together within a few minutes of getting it apart.

I've seen bits on TV about car designers trying to make sure people of all shapes and sizes are comfortable in their cars. Hint to honda- find someone taller than 6'. The berkeleying park brake handle on the left side of the console hurts my knee, and because of that, I could never purchase one of your Civics. I shouldn't need a small pillow to be able to drive your car.

And Toyota, I drove one of your piles the other day with the same thing. QUIT THAT!

ACCELERATE THROUGH THE TURN. Don't sit in the middle of the frickin intersection, idling your way through it. Skinny peddle to the right of the brake.

Anybody else ever sell a perfectly good car to someone and then they act all awkward afterwards?

I just don't understand it. I've even bought vehicles from people then they turn are creepy acting.

Clearly we had an agreement and we shook hands. If we weren't clear or had questions we wouldn't have shaken hands and passed paper.

If it doesn't have a manual transmission, then don't mark that option when listing a car for sale. I get my hopes up and then look at the pictures and see the PRNDL knob.. berkeley me

I swear the next time I watch someone hit an exit ramp out of the left lane or make a right turn out of the left lane, I'm going to follow them home and burn their car to the ground. Berkleying jerkwads. Brakes and turning - yeah, idiot, you don't need to come to a complete stop before negotiating a turn. Maybe, just maybe, the world would be a better place to drive in if getting a license required a mandatory day at an autocross.

Last fall, one of the burner's on my Mom's (rather beautiful stainless steel) grill cracked. A quick trip to amazon revealed that I could replace all four burners for $24. But rather than taking the $24 option, she went out an bought a whole new berkleying grill for $600! To make matters worse, she deposed of the "old" grill (I was planning on either flipping or saving it for later use w/ new burners). After looking at the new grill today, it has the worst orange peel I have ever seen on a painted object, I think it is actually worse than an orange's skin for E36 M3's sake. So why did my mom buy said grill? It has about 6 blue LED lights illuminating the knobs. I have officially started referring to it as the blue light special.

Moving tomorrow with no help is not gonna be fun. lol

MIL said she would get us boxes from work to help. Well, she got us boxes, but they are probably 36x36x36"
that, filled with paperback books, has to weigh somewhere in the neighborhood of 250-300 lbs.
Gonna be fun carrying that up stairs. Would have much rather gotten 10 regular sized boxed and made multiple trips lol

Bankers boxes. The best moving boxes ever made.

Cheap, stack well and have handles. I've still got about 30 of them in the garage full of books from the last move.

I'm getting so sick of modern day propaganda on facebook. After hearing of the devastation of the OK tornados immediately before seeing an anti-Obama ad using an umbrella as a reason for dismay, I finally started deleting people. It felt good. I think I'll keep going.

I don't care if you don't like your president. Come up with a good damn reason for complaining, and don't be a little bitch. Also, take a berkeleying break when there is an active disaster resulting in the loss of life.

The biggest thing that gets on my nerves beyond that, don't throw religion at me and tell me to pray to your berkeleying god. He's not mine! Don't try to convert me!

Oh yea. And berkeley YOU!

So after berkeleying around with the 4runner's sensors all afternoon, I think I've finally narrowed it down to the TPS. Thanks Obama.

I have yet another one for today.....

Waiting on the MIL to get back, so I then can quit watching the munchkin to go give the lawn a haircut, I am still price shopping for parts to fix my diesel. I figure to fix my broken leaf springs in back, I will need to cut and replace the 5" long center bolt. A certain advertiser that has a 5% discount code, has them for less then $4 for 2 of them, but to ship them to me via ground is $12.72!!! WTF?!?!?! Price gouge much?
