melkathi Posted November 9, 2012 Posted November 9, 2012 Today I posted in the What you did today thread. I also came to the conclusion that this joke is rather old. I decided to do it anyway Unobtrusively informing you about my new ebook (which you should feel free to read and shower with praise).
Gfted1 Posted November 9, 2012 Posted November 9, 2012 Luckily I do my own brakes and Ive stumbled across FREE BRAKES FOR LIFE. Yeah, I recently switched out the brake pads on the new Mustang for the first time. I slapped on Bendix ceramic brakes. They were quite reasonably priced and they've got a good reputation for brake pads. The rotors were in good shape. Anyhow, I noticed the warranty on them, and I have to say that it sounded too good to be true. It's nice to hear someone with experience vouching for it. I have to fill out the forms and mail them out tomorrow. If you bought them from a chain auto parts store (AutoZone, Pep Boys, etc...) than you can get the refund right there. You may have noticed they asked for your phone number when you bought them and what they are doing with that information is adding those parts to your personal database. You then bring in the old worn pads / rotors (the ones you just changed out), they look at them and nod, then instantly credit you back. Anyhow, the older Mustang (1991) is vibrating especially at high speeds or when braking, and so I thought maybe the pads or shoes were gone and maybe the rivets were digging into the rotors, but the disk brakes are great up front and the drum brakes in back are even better, so I think I need to take a look at the struts. Thats usually a sign of a warped rotor (the surface of the rotor is no longer flat but wavy). If you start to notice the vibration ~60MPH, thats probably an imbalace situation. Go look and see if one of the balancing weights on one of your tires is missing. I wish you lived around here, man. I'd buy you a case of beer or a bottle of scotch (you can get a 12 year old single malt Glenlivet dirt cheap at Costco) and you could help me knock the job out lickity split. As it is, my brother in law and I will tackle it when we get a free day. Ive never tried a good scotch. Years ago in my youth we got wasted on Cutty Sark and it kinda turned me off to scotch for life, but Im willing to get back on that horse.

LadyCrimson Posted November 9, 2012 Posted November 9, 2012 Yeah, I like them in the early twenties myself, my friend, but you get what you can get. I totally read this in a completely wrong, non-contextual way. Today I posted in the What you did today thread. I also came to the conclusion that this joke is rather old. I decided to do it anyway I occasionally wonder if the forum blog-feature was active for members, here, if I'd put my ramblings in that, instead. Then I think, nah, this thread is much more fun. “Things are as they are.

Labadal Posted November 10, 2012 Posted November 10, 2012 Woke up with the worst headache I've ever had. It feels like my head is about to explode. It turns out that drinking wine, then whiskey, and THEN take some Jagermeister shots was not a good idea. This was the first time in 10 years that I have been drinking this much. My brother is to blame, it was his birthday party. Got him an ipad 3G, fun fact: I don't own one myself.

Raithe Posted November 10, 2012 Posted November 10, 2012 I'm in favour of making sure to drink water when I get in, and some chocolatey type goodies eaten away.. then when you wake up, hit it with some fruit juice of some sort to double on the rehydration and energy...

Monte Carlo Posted November 10, 2012 Posted November 10, 2012 ^ Epic fail. You are taking all the good stuff after the fact. You need to rehydrate before you sleep. Srsyl, booze makes your bloody brain shrink from dehydration. Stop it. For the love of God. Since I discovered Dioralyte I have been able to enjoy even more alcohol in a consequence-free way (well, in the short term, but, Dogs, do you want to live forever?).
