Why do I always get offered parts I want when I have no money.

It's 106 miles to Chicago, we've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses.

Isn't a nasty feeling when you reverse out of a parking space go to select first gear and the car starts sliding backwards until you here that sickening CRUNCH!

Woohoo! Numax 015 battery with a 3 year warranty for £41 delivered. Win.
DPD/City Link couriers delivering it when it'd obviously been on it's side however, fail.
If I want a bag of acid, I will buy a bag of acid.

Re: Off Topic
Excuse the on-topicness please but batteries should be shipped dry. Last one I bought by mail order came in that state with a suitably sturdy bottle of the acid in a separate container for that very reason. So it's the seller's fault rather than the courier's, IMHO.Sack them both I would!
And back off topic again.....
In my line of work, there rarely comes an opportunity to be vomited upon, but today it was my turn and it wasn't very pleasant.

Re: Off Topic
You want £45? For an overdrive crossmember. Really? The gearbox was only a bit more than that.
You weren't joking? Wow, that's one sharp business brain you have there!
Oh, also, my engine isn't broken. Yay!

Re: Off Topic
Why is it that whenever I run out of pants the laundrette gets closed? Intermittent heating, a broken fridge, broken window catches, no phone line and early morning smokers under my bedroom window... sometimes I wonder why I pay rent!

Re: Off Topic
Conversations about my car, that I didn't start, a rare thing!
"Are you going to convert it to a Sprint?"
No, I'd rather just buy a Sprint if I was going to do that.
"Good man. Give us a shout when it's done, I'd love a go!"

Re: Off Topic
A wife came home early and found her husband in their bedroom making love to a very attractive young woman.
She was somewhat upset. 'You are a disrespectful pig!' she cried. 'How dare you do this to me -- a faithful wife, the mother of your children! I'm leaving you. I want a divorce right away!'
The husband replied, 'Hang on just a minute love. At least Ilet me explain what happened.'
'Fine, go ahead,' she sobbed, 'but they'll be the last words you'll say to me!'
The husband began -- 'Well, I was getting into the car to drive home, and this young lady here asked me for a lift. She looked so down and out and defenseless that I took pity on her and let her into the car.
I noticed that she was very thin, not well dressed and very dirty. She told me she hadn't eaten for three days. So, in my compassion, I brought her home and warmed up the enchiladas I made for you last night, the ones you wouldn't eat because you're afraid you'll put on weight. The poor thing devoured them in moments.
"Since she needed a good clean-up, I suggested a shower, and while she was doing that, I noticed her clothes were dirty and full of holes, so I threw them away. Then, as she needed clothes, I gave her the designer jeans that you’ve had for a few years, but don't wear because you say they're too tight.
I also gave her the underwear that was your anniversary present, which you don't wear because I don't have good taste.
I found the sexy blouse my sister gave you for Christmas that you don't wear just to annoy her, and I also donated those boots you bought at the expensive boutique, and don't wear because someone at work has a pair the same.'
The husband took a quick breath and continued - 'She was so grateful for my understanding and help that as I walked her to the door, she turned to me with tears in her eyes and said,
'Please ... do you have anything else that your wife doesn't use???
