okay, so lately i've known i have bad plugs, and probably wires.

on the way home tonight, the truck starts sputtering, gas pedal isn't responding well, and it was misfiring like crazy. i mean crazy.

i pull over, let it idle, and it's all over the place, trying to die. I kill it, restart, same thing. Me, being retarded, do it over and over. I can't get the truck to run fast enough to merge, and soon enough it wont hold idle.

I get it towed, and the driver's an ex-mechanic. He suggests looking at my MAF.

We get it home, and he tells me to pop the hood. My mac intake tube had disconnected from the grommet that connects to the MAF. that simple.

 

Okay, no comment there

tom!

nice hearing from you!

 

It's alive!!!!!

How goeth the recovery?

 

Yes I am....errrg. Not to happy about that part.

But otherwise I'm fine. Just really busy at work. I bought a new bike weeks ago and am still riding

I AM back in full fledge so........

My outlook on everything has changed for the good though. You know, when you die and are given a second chance to live, some of the things you thought were important before just arent as important to you anymore. It's easy to comprehend but unless your dead and brought back to life you couldn't truly understand.

Well enough on that. Thanks for the welcome. Both of ya'.

See, normally I would have busted a few really good jokes on 4.2, but (ha!!) since the accident I've decided to refrain from saying anything. (nah, just kidding. I just couldn't think of anything really funny to say).

Heh, I guess I'll hold my tongue as well...

Welcome Back Tom!

 

You think YOUR night was interesting, wait until you hear about mine.
It's all clean and family friendly.

I'll give you a hint:

It involves 1 man, 1 motorcycle and 126,000 miles in 3 years (with more miles to come)

See if you can figure it out (if you are so inclined)

I'll post details when I get the time to type it up.

 

You...umm...you, uh...errr...dang it...

You drove to Wal-Mart, hy-jacked a moped and drove to Cali, started calling the Harley drivers names and raced them back to Wal-Mart, jumped back on your Motorcycle just to find out that you were late for an oil change, so you went to the TLE (Tire, Lube, & Express) for a quick 15 minute garauteed change that lasted 45 minutes, then whilst dodging sharp pointy things hurled at you from the bikers, you griped out the manager for false advertisement and one $126,000 dollars because as we all know "The Customer Is Always Right", then after performing a triple flip side twist slam on one of the bikers, you made your way back out to the motorcycle, hopped on, and drove off, and the motor exploded because THEY FORGOT TO PUT THE STINKIN' DRAIN PLUG BACK IN!!! ARRGGGH!!!!, but it didn't matter because you just won $126k which comes out to $1 per mile on the bike...in the end you realized that through all that trouble and adversity, you arived on top of the game because you were able to outrun the bikers on foot even while they were on their Harleys because ironically the drain that was never replaced leaked oil all over the road which made the bikers crash before ever reaching you.

Thank you, I'll be here all week.

 

Damn it Joe, you stole my idea...cept I thought they were going to piggly wiggly....Oh well man...second place aint bad.

 

good guess.
But, sorry, that's not it.

 

wow Joe, how are you humanly capable of making something up like that haha???

 

Brian, don't tease, it's not nice.

 

after riding a bike for 3 years, accumulating 126k miles,


you had...



an interesting night.


I was there, PM me for details.
