That rooster in death metal form is bad ass, but if he was in my yard doing that shit at 3am (no they don't do it at sunrise like cartoons show) he would be filled with bird shot. Neighbor used to keep roosters and they would roost in my trees at night. Hated that shit.

That cat is funny as hell. I assume he likes the brush since he never attacked.

buffon01 09-14-2010 09:19 AM

Lol one of my cats makes the same noises, but not the creepy faces :mad:

When I lived on a farm I never had a need for an alarm clock cause the fucking roosters woke me up every day. I liked it though, made me feel real country like.

last night my cat started foaming at the mouth and salivating like crazy. She was licking her chops like she had something stuck in her throat and was trying to get it out. I couldn't believe the amount of drool. I started panicking and couldn't figure out what she ate...it's usually string or plastic wrappers of some sort. We called called the 24 hour animal hospital and were about to go rush her over, been then i remember her licking the backside of my hand while I was sitting on my laptop. I had just showered, and like the girl I am, used hand moisturizer as my hands get really dry and my skin peels. Turns out she get licked a bunch of lotion off my hand and really didn't like it in her mouth...

These bastard would crow anywhere from 2am till maybe 7am, so not exactly clockwork. Maybe they were just retarded.

NA6C-Guy 09-14-2010 10:26 AM

What the fuck is the point in having insurance if you can't fucking go anywhere with it. My insurance rates have increased x5 since I started at this company nearly 2 years ago, and my new insurance is now not paying for doctor visits that they used to at the lower rate. So I pay 5 times more and still end up paying $100 out of pocket just to go speak to a doctor for a follow up and have him write me a prescription refill. I've had to pay for two visits out of pocket in the last 4 months. It's bullshit! :vash: BCBS has usually been great for me. I guess I'm gonna have to call and figure out what the hell is going on. Sit through what I'm sure will be an hour of recorded messages and menus as well as "please hold while I transfer you" a hundred times. God these last 2 weeks have not been making me very happy, nothing but bullshit followed by more bullshit.

Brush those teeth! I hate throwing up. I try to limit it to once every few years. Last time I had the stomach flu was horrible! I threw up every 3-5 minutes for the entire night and next day, even when nothing was there to throw up. Didn't eat for the following several days and only drank small sips of room temp water and juice to avoid upsetting my stomach lining again.

Bond 09-14-2010 10:43 AM

It was more of a voluntary throw-up because I knew I would feel better after I did, I overloaded on water.

Hardcore. I avoid it at all costs. I will go into super concentration mode when I feel the need to throw up to try and block it out. If people try to communicate with me while I'm in this mode they get hit and I quickly tell them to STFU!

Oscar 09-14-2010 10:46 AM

I do that, usually before I go to sleep though. Get wasted, get it out again, brush teeth, drink a little water and then sleep. No nasty hangover or the taste of wet dog in your mouth the next morning.

Someone has gotta pay for all the 18-26 year old kids that are now all forced to be covered under their parents plans. And that someone is you.

Also, medicare only pays out .85 of the dollar billed to them, so doctors charge more to their other customers and insurance won't cover it.

then you're not taking advantage of the new law, that enacted immediately.

chicksdigmiatas 09-14-2010 11:48 AM

I wouldn't know. The insurance law can suck on these. You don't need to be covered if you don't want to be. There was plenty of ways you could be covered if you didn't have the money. When it comes down to it, health insurance was never much more than car insurance. You pay x amount for your car, don't you value yourself more? It is just a case of people not having priorities straight. Next we will start paying illegal immigrant car insurance too. Yes, the ones without a license.

Braineack 09-14-2010 11:50 AM

we already do.

buffon01 09-14-2010 12:03 PM

And it is expensive. It is often called uninsured motorist coverage.

We have a large problem with hit and run offenses here because so many are illegal/don't have licenses/have suspended licenses or no insurance. People die in the street because nobody will render aid to someone they have hit when they are driving illegally (or are drunk or on drugs/pills). Sometimes just helping to stop the bleeding would save some of these victims but motherfuckers who just have to be here illegally or who just have to be drunk or high can't stay off the fucking road.

It's call increased premiums over what they could be because the insurance companies have to pay out the ass for uninsured illegals.

I noticed a little video I made of my ride in a friend's LS3 Miata was suddenly getting a shittonne of comments in one day. I went and checked and it 434 views today, and it's been up for ~1 month. Before today it had like 100 views. WTF?

hustler 09-14-2010 08:13 PM

ZOMG, the local alignment place just threw me out and threatened to call the cops...and charged me for an alignment without doing any work. Unreal.

rider384 09-14-2010 08:21 PM

That's what happen when you surprise buttsecks the workers.

hustler 09-14-2010 08:26 PM

What happened?

ok, with bullets:
  • 6-months ago I walk into NTB, pay for a 3-year alignment for $230.
  • Tell the tech the specs, give him $20
  • Manager trips, tells me I can either forgo the 3-years or pay another $70 for a "custom" alignment
  • I pay the extra, not a big deal, it was never offered

then today:
  • NTB by the house has a new rack too high for my car
  • take the car to another NTB with an "in ground" rack
  • crazy manager is there and refuses to service my car
  • I show him paper work
  • he flips and starts yelling
  • i call corporate office
  • he pushes me out the door

Now I'm going to pay $299 for a custom alignment from a local Porsche shop because its my only option...and call NTB corporate and get my money back. I've never had someone freak out on me like that and they can kiss my ass if they think I'll ever give them another red cent.

$299 for an alignment blows. I was paying $125 at the local performance shop in NoVA for alignments with you sitting in the car as a ballast. Then one of the local miata guys got access to the setup at the dealership he worked at and gave all the local guys ridiculous hookups on alignments.

mgeoffriau 09-14-2010 09:09 PM

Holy smokes do I love craigslist. A wrecked 2000 Miata went up, guy said to ask about individual parts. I asked about the stb, tranny if it was a 6 speed, rear end if it was a Torsen, and shocks if they were Bilsteins. He replied,

"$250 for shock brace
$500 for bilstein shocks w/ springs and mounts
$800 for 4.30 Torsen diff
$400 for 5 speed transmission
Willing to negotiate some the more you get."

So...that's nearly $2k in parts from a car that's worth about $1500?

If they pull that shit with me (I did the same deal) we will go after them with a class action lawsuit. What an ass. What did the corporate office tell you?

I will email them tomorrow. I simply want my money back less the cost of one full-price alignment. I don't have energy for games or the law, I only want the money back for what I didn't use.

Yes I agree. I'm not really serious about the law suit. What did the corporate office tell you?

What are those? I'm in need of something other than Bilsteins terribly. Unreal how shitty the ride is even with not much over stock spring rates. I don't think non Miata people understand really how bad it is, even when I emphasize to them that it is as bad as I'm making it sound.

kotomile 09-15-2010 04:52 AM

My car has Bilsteins and Hustler and Johnwag both thought the ride was ok.

icantthink4155 09-15-2010 09:09 AM

[rant]So I started a thread on m.net about possible ways to repair an old part. The first response is "buy a new one" I reply that thats was a useless reply and everyone flips. If I wanted to buy a new one I would of asked where to buy a new one. Fucking assholes on that site need to learn some GD reading comprehension. I would love to be able to speak my mind on there. Any time I ask a question I never get the response Im looking for, I might-as-well tell them to go suck a cock and get banned since I can never get any help there to begin with.[/rant]

Are they stock R package Bilsteins? By leaps and bounds the worst riding car I have ever been in. It's to the point that I don't enjoy cruising anymore like I did with previous cars. If our roads weren't so shitty it might not be so bad, but we have some of the worst roads in the country. A patchwork of poorly done patches. They don't pave a solid 1/4 mile section of interstate, instead they make 10 separate 50' sections, with 20 fucking seams that are an inch or more high or low, leaving a few narrow untouched sections alone. How ass backwards is that shit. On surface roads their idea of patching is shoveling a shovel full of asphalt into the hole and calling it good. I guarantee that this one hole up the road from my house is like an iceberg, probably a 15' chunk under the road where it settles within weeks of them "patching" it. They half ass it, and it continues to sink. It's bad enough right now that I HAVE to avoid it, I would for sure get stuck on/in it. I've also gone through 8-10 blown sidewalls in the last 5-6 years from poor roads. Try hitting a gravel filled square cut out hole for pipe repair where the gravel has pushed out and left a 6'' 90 degree sharp edge on the back side of the hole. I hit that with my RX7 and had to limp 10 blocks back to work with a blown out sidewall. I was :vash: that day.

Shitty road rant over.

buffon01 09-15-2010 10:25 AM

fooger03 09-15-2010 10:32 AM

If I have a question that isn't performance related, I usually ask m.net guys first. I'm more likely to get a quicker and more detailed response from them on how to fix my driver's side power mirror.
