Anger, Power Tools and 30 Seconds

Recommended Posts

As some regulars may know here- My soob is totalled. I am currently waiting patiently to get another going. It is the second soob I actually
had to
let go of for junk.Not necessarily a "poor man" mentality about my old soob, I despise spending money on something meant to get destroyed with time, others bad driving, Class A trucks that spew dump debris and odors of the truck drivers themselves (j/k - its my big joke for the big daddy trucker), others bad cars, and oh, lack of legislation.Unless I am parking a car in a bullet /bomb proof bunker, life for a car sucks, no matter what we do.Any make or model. I regret really liking my old sube sometimes. Opinions of lesser mentality (can I safely say IDIOTs) about the little car that can does not help my motivation.

 

 

Anyway. A portable drill, a sawz-all and whatever else comes in handy I grabbed every "2 dollar" used item from my old car and I kept it for future satisfaction for my next Sube.By the end of a couple of hours, the car was looking bare in many places.The car gets real small with proper tools and nothing was unacheivable, or discouraging. A deep breath and muttering off the incorrectness that may have caused the setback is quite satisfying with a bit of old fashioned non-destructive work.

This is the second time for an accident- both times impossible scenarios, very much others involved, walking away, with not only thier health and vehicles, a crime this time, and a fat check for another with an "oh my shoulder hurts". <- gotta try that sometime, it reminded me of my little sister when she was 5 and actually gaining Sympathy.

 

 

Now that I am angry again, maybe my hammer can do something productive....:mad:

I asked at "yahoo" how many old subes were made from 1985-

1994 and got an answer (I can't seem to believe) of 242000 something. I would swear there is that many in the northeast US alone. Anybody know? I am wondering if giving up on these cars soon is something I must do as a daily driver. I am having trouble finding some basic body parts, like fenders, etc.

you'd probably have to get fenders and stuff from a junkyard... or another soob (parts car). and it seems like I had a book that had aftermarket parts for old soobs. got it when I was working at a lube joint, but I have no idea where it is now. Probably terribly overpriced though.
