I actually find tht more believable!
-
I know it's not of at the cost, performance, or rarity level of that Camaro, but I would be furious if that happened to my 200. Probably to the point that I'd demand it's replaced with something comparable (maybe a similar 200 or Avenger program car off the lot or comp me on a similarly optioned 2015 200 once available) and that if they didn't press grand theft charges, I would be!

We were a day off like what happens during holidays.

Hey Harry, was your garbage pick up delayed this week to?
-
Lol, Harry! I ran Rt. 38 from West Chicago to St. Charles going to work today and there were some pretty healthy ones from where it meets Washington St./Fabian Parkway all the way through Geneva to the strip mall we're in. It was bad enough I sent my sister a text telling her to watch out for them while she was out today. My Jeep is still rolling on 15's wearing 235/75R15 Wranglers, but her Charger and my 200 have 18's with very short sidewall tires! That is kinda funny, It's the same here. We would have to go to school in the cold we had, a well as when the snow was severe, but they aren't doing that any more. I remember one year in high school that our van slid amost as much as it drove due to the road conditions around my school. I'm kinda wondering if it's wussification of the younger generations, fear of lawyers, or now senior staffers as well as teachers my age that remember going to work/school in really sketchy conditions and not allowing that to continue.

Isaw something on the news about that, supposedly Chicago is already starting on putting cold patches into the ones that have since appeared.

Early Christmas Present I didn't ask for.

I saw a worse one today on a customer. He got bit by a park flier prop so bad that he needed 40 stitches between his thumb and pointer finger on his left hand! Be was adjusting linkages on the plane itself while it was powered up with the motor plugged in and something moved hitting the throttle stick, throttling up the motor, causing the prop to strike him 3 times. He said the E.R. doc wasn't sure if he was going to need a specialist, but the blades managed to miss anything important inside his hand..........almost sounded like the Doc was more relieved than this customer was! I told him about a customer who runs in the Vance and Hines 1200cc spec class that laid his Harley down at over 100mph trying to qualify at Indy this summer. All but destroyed his knee cap and ground the skin on his left had down to the point they could see the tendons working! They both offered to show the pics, I thanked them for the offers, but declined both.........didn't need to see either! -
Yeah, he'll just stay in the same place and keep complaining............like the rest of us that live here
-
Why is it that whenever I see pictures like that, I automatically assume alcohol is involved............lots of it.

Funny you mention this. There is a thread going on NAXJA started by somebody else who was dealing with a XJ not firing in the extreme cold. Two of the older guys on there mentioned that but with a shallow metal pan with some gasoline in it under the oil pan of a 258 in powered CJ and that working like a charm, but was afraid to do so with his XJ do to a heavy layer of grease built up on the engine. The other guy said he did that witha hubcap filled with sand and gas after getting caught in a sudden freak freeze while camping in the desert in a stripped down CJ..........he made part of his drive home while wearing his sleeping bag.

According to Accuweather, we're back down to -2º............but considering that's still noticeably warmer than yesterday....... Oh https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BdalbjPIEAAWZoh.jpg

Oh, I know. Picked Dad up from the shop he took his company truck to for more repair work. Told Mom it nearly felt like a heat wave at 0º when I left to get him! I'l wait until we're back into the double digits and the snow is a bit less hefore I start to rejoice. Yikes, that sounds painful, hope you get over that soon, and/or get some good pain meds.
-
And I'm quite fine with that Oh, Dad borrowed my Jeep this morning, it's been so long since he spent much time behind the wheel of an XJ in these conditions that he forgot how much easier driving in the BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH is!
-
It's 19º in Fairbanks, AK yet 2º here in Chicago...............what's wrong with this picture.................
-
Just got a call from work, we're closing early, don't bother coming in, just lost 7.5hrs of pay. Yesterday we closed early and I only put in 4 hours, should have been another 7.5hrs for yesterday Sunday would have been 4 hours too, if I hadn't been called off. Hope we're open for Thursday and Saturday, they're the only shifts I have left this week, and those are only 6 hours each!
-
Lol, I heard the Chiberia crack yesterday.
-
Trust me, I'd have preferred sleeping today too, didn't sleep worth a darn last night.
-
Like a told a friend and co-worker today, for that kinda money, that gold paint better be like buying a pint of Goldschlager, there best be real gold flakes floating in it! The strong cinnimon scent would be a nice touch for a spray paint too
-
Dad got the Jeep started tonight, thinks the battery is loosing a cell. Took it out and ran it for over an hour to get more charge into the battery and get all the lubes up to temp since it hadn't been driven in more that 24 hours at that point.
-
The Jeep wouldn't start, so I ended up taking the 200............which started no problem with half of the fuel being alcohol?!

I'll have to try again shortly, the store manager is having the same issue. I'm getting some fuel, some spark, and it was turning over.......just not that fast. He wasn't getting any fuel!
