Jon - I think I'll have to drive myself one way or the other. I am trying to set-up an appointment to buy a full tool box w/ tools on friday, or poss. have a bon fire to go to. But, both will probably fall through.

Yeah, with the welding... I'll take some pics when I do some shuffling around today. They have me prepping a 95 F350 flatbed to sell also... makes me sad because it could have been a doner vehicle for me. Anyone want it? Ryan, you're in the market for a new car. LOL

Wait, speedbumps high enough to bottom out a stock height RX-8....


If I have to I'll seriously drive around them through the grass (provided there aren't any curbs..)

This blows

Where's Machiavelli when you need him. I'd file a small court suit to have them lowered/removed if that's really what they told you.

They put speedbumps in my place but I don't bottom out on them. Pretty sure they put them in because of me so I'm quiet about it.

The speedbumps were needed where they got installed. Once they finish replacing my street with concrete they will be fine. The problem is that the new concrete is higher than the old

So basically what you are hinting at is don't bring the RX-8?

It almost pisses me off enough to not even go. If someone is going to make the area inaccessable to certain vehicles by putting in ridiculously large speed bumps then they can suck my ****.

It's profiling and it's bullshit.

I should take the RX-8 anyway, put the front bumper right into the speedbump and break it, then sue them. The front lip is cracked anyways

But srsly. I may bail on the event now because of it. I know I could just suck it up and we can take Megans car, but srsly it's horseshit.

ahhhhh

I thought the speedbumps were at headlands.... Apparently this mild hangover is affecting my comprehension skills.

John I remember the speedbumps at your place. I didn't have a problem with them at stock height. They were those really wide ones. I could only imagine them now...

I was wondering why John kept say "we" in reference to the speedbumps. d'oh!

What meet?
When?

Can we post important stuff in bold?

What is in Mentor?

I'm confused!


TJ: Use a crow bar or a hockey stick on that thing. It'll come right off.

A hockey stick would be absolutely awesome. That's almost as good as using a bat to roll fenders.

You have to drive past my place to get there anyway so if you want to stop by to make sure you don't get lost on your way that's cool. I'll be leaving here at like 1245 or so.
