..J.J., I would think about getting a cover 4 your Monte ? Wouldn't that prevent hail damage ?
...`Mike, what's the penality for working on your car ? Is that your association rules ?
...R.J....Hope U are feeling `up 2 par & that U are enjoying the effects of Global Warming ...I know the weather is different every year that I've been...I'm waiting 2 C if any member seems Earth 2100 last night on ABC ?

Wish everyone a `Happy....,your choice : )

The office is only open weekdays 12-4 lol, so I never get to talk to people about it. But I'm going to ask questions. I could see them ruling out oil changes and some things that could potentially cause hazardous waste or spills on the parking lot.

but they have the audacity right now to tell me I can't wax my car in the parking lot. Like I'm hurting someone? So I'm going to bring it up when I can.

Hi Michael, I don't think I will ever have a `normal life,
whatever that is ?
I have many in my life that I help & they have been
consuming a lot of my time. I have a lot of catching `up to
do for those that have done for me.
My g/f is working as much as I taking care of my grandfather
after his stroke, and working as a visiting nurse.
The `Bum's have been busy with their new `job,
and I don't get to spend the time I use to with them,
and I really miss my `friends.

I wish that we were all back in our early teens, when we
all worked, but found time 4 `fun. It seems the older
I become, the more difficult it seems to be.
(Excuse all the words, I'm practicing on my new laptop
keyboard..., it's way different then my old DeskTop : )

It is great working just one shift @ night, but I have
to adjust 2 sleep'in days. I take power naps : )
Hope life on the West Coast is good 4 U & your Monte.
Also, I hope U get a surprise & your CAI comes in soon.
Got 2 run....Catch EveryOne later.

Wish U & Readers a `Happy

A lot of the things I do to my car, I do while visiting my parents. My dad has 2x as many tools and a garage to work in. But it's stupid stuff that aggravates me like that. haha

Space, I got to say your a great person! All the help you give to people is amazing, and one oo these days all the good you do for everyone else will be returned to you!

I totally know what you mean about wishing you were in your early teens again. I'm only 22, but man do I wish I could be back in high school again. I thought life was so tough back then. OMG I had to go to school all day (7-1) and I thought that sucked...Now days with work and school (college, not the high school b.s.) I can hardly find time to sleep or spend anytime with the ones that mean the most to me....It just cracks me up when I look back 5-7 years ago, and think about what life was like, and think about how much I wanted to be done with my teens years and move on to adult hood. Now that we are in the world of adult hood, we want to go back in time...lol

I would love a surprise CAI at my door when I get home tonight too...But I don't see it happening. I still have not gotten shipping conformation from the guy...All I can say is I am not impressed with the service from MPD, Inc....so hopefully their product makes up for it!

On a good note, I got my new rotors and pads yesterday. They are all drilled and slotted, with powerstop ceramic pads. I know many members suggested against D/S, but I had already ordered them. Oh well, they look really really nice...and I got all four rotors D/S with pads for front and rear for $200....that was a deal I could not pass up...The front rotors on my car a fricken huge, I was amazed at how big they are! I'm not installing the new rotors and pads until the OEM pads are completly worn out though, so IDK how long before I put them on the Monte, but i'll let everyone know when I do...

Well, everything I do with my car is at my parents, because thats where I live LOL. But yea my dad has like 10x the tools I have....so i'm sure once I move out i'll still be hitting him up for the garage and tools!

Not being able to wax my car in the lot would aggravate me too....
