Intrepidation

Have I ever mentioned how I despise the throw away mentality of our society?

None of my cars will ever see such a sad fate.

Yeah, an example of flawed logic is at this photo: Greenbrier Volkswagen, Chesapeake VA Notice how none of those are VWs, not even foreign. That poor GC and CV.

If you've ever had the misfortune to actually come across /b/ you'd know that this is nothing compared to it.

Could be worse. When the Prizm sat before it was put back on the road and later given to my girlfriend, it had mice in it...and not just one.

Yep.

I don't think it's beef so much as road kill. I think they are the most vile, disgusting, pathetic excuses for "food" in existence. But to each their own. Now as far as burgers go, Sonic has good burgers, although they tend to go heavy on the mustard when you ask for it. Closest one is in PA though. I also enjoy Red Robins...they have awesome onion rings as well. Too bad none are around here. Spangles is good too.

I do not like the flat, shapeless seats. Looks like a sofa.

I tried 2 Sam Adams and a Heineken on three separate occasions. probably had all of 2 sips of each. Beer is disgusting. If I want to drink carbonated piss I'll piss in some soda water. I have only done a lot of drinking once, where after I turned 21, my cousin, who enjoys making various drinks, had me try all kinda of creations and shots. I would say I tried about 15 different things ranging from Whiskey to something called Chocolate Cake. I didn't really even get a buzz before I decided I had enough. That was the most I ever had. I prefer "sissy" drinks or whatever they're called. Ones that are fruity or whatever, and that aren't that strong. I want to like a drink right off the bat, not have to get used to it. Drinks like daiquiris, pina coladas, kahula, and such. I've tried red whine and didn't really care for it, although it's great for cooking. I'm willing to try any drink though.

White Castle makes McDonald's look like the best, highest quality food on earth.

Wow. I mean it's neat for what it was, but you have to have mental illness or a lot of money to blow if you're going to spend $90,000 on something from the 80's.

I had a set of Goodyear Eagles that I was content with. The fronts now have Continentals and I hate them. Lots of the roar and the squeal easily.

Yeah the clutch is definitely bad, so most likely that's the culprit. I want to take the belt off and see if the noise goes away but its so damn humid. I'll either try in the evening or get up early tomorrow.

So here it is running, as you can see, there is clearly a clanging noise going on. The general consensus seems to be either the idler pulley or the compressor clutch are bad. Going to take the belt off tomorrow hopefully and see what's what.

Anyway, this was a better, more permanent solution:

Maybe it was' the Acadia, I or maybe it was just the stereo knob. I can't remember. Basically you hollow out one of GM;s chrome ring knobs, then sand down the LH knobs and fit them in, securing them with epoxy. It was a really cool mod. I have to look for it again.

Man that andersen_knight with teh ugly Sonata is quite the post whore.

I haven't had anything with alcohol in...I can't remember. Several months a least.

Yeah, it's great stuff for making the plastic bits in your engine bay look pretty.

Use the google search, as mentioned. It's just better. I've never come across a forum search engine that was any good.

That is sexy, but I would ditch the chrome wheels...I'd prefer polished or silver...and I'm not sure I like the quad exhausts next to each other. Maybe duals would be more my thing.

I was going to make a response, but I saw you called yourself a hypocrite, so I don't need to.

Well the exhaust leak is better, but still there, and so is a hissing sound when you rev the engine. However it's to the point where it's not that noticeable with the windows up. I think it might be from one of the EGR tubes. The clanging sound might be the a/c compressor. I need to figure out if that's teh case or not. If so, I'll probably take the belt off for the time being until I have the money to get a re-manufactured one. those suckers are pricey.
