The random chat thread for throwing out things that don't matter

Nice!  My hope is to recover enough space to setup a small workbench in my garage once the engine project is complete and all of the misc parts that are stored on some crappy shelving is no longer loose.  haha

Also I might have a problem…

I don’t know about resources in your geographic location, but here we have 12-step groups for that kind of obsession.   I’ll be leading next week’s group.  

I like your bench and setup, although, you still have some space to pile stuff on and it would better resemble mine.

seams like the more space you have the more stuff you can pile on it.

very nice and well organized 

Oh trust me it’ll get worse

Does anyone have a contact at Toyota that could possibly help me? I am LUSTING over the GR Corolla Circuit Edition. I think I’ve left my info at over 30 dealers, and left five deposits. One of which was a hefty $2k. I am desperate for that car. This is my end game, my forever car alongside the MR2 Spyder.

@haloruler64 Now I am lusting! And I just bought an 18 year old Tundra Doublecab.

That car does look pretty awesome.  I got no connections though.  🙁

Merry Christmas and all the other politically correct seasons greetings to y’all.  Wishing you peace, joy, happiness and good health.  😎 

Same to you and everyone else on here.

Does anyone know how to remove the plastic trim surrounding the rear latches on a hardtop? 

Anyone here much anymore?

@nocoolname 

I am. Not much activity but I check everyday.  How have you been. 

Activity comes up spontaneously from moment to moment and then things die down. 

It’s like that everywhere.  There is more activity on MR2roc but even that is slowing down and its probably because it’s not the driving season yet.

Mid-Atlantic and it’s unusually warm for this type of year. I could change the oil and get an early start before the government manufactured alien invasion. 

I have set up a meet for this Sunday so it should be interesting to see who shows up in their car.  

 I haven’t used AC in over 10 years. I wonder if it still works.

Super busy with work, moved into a higher position last year, I’m a salary slave now.  Still have a few spyders but haven’t messed with the main project one in a bit. Still have my c5z and a centrifugal supercharger setup waiting to go on it but debating swapping the ls6 for an ls3 first. Swapped in a built trans and diff last year when I changed clutches and rebuilt the torque tube.

Also got into .22 long range.  Shooting a .22 300yds is as challenging as shooting my comp gun at 1200 but 1/3 the cost of ammo, even when feeding Lapua to the .22. I picked up a couple of PCCs and enjoy them at the range and a nice beretta 1301 comp that is a dream of a shotgun.  I’m also now trying my hand at building from parts kits and doing a CETME build currently.
