We need a "You know what sux?" thread....

[airbur]

This sux.....

[akaFrankCastle]

Dude! WTF? You try putting it in the garage or something?

[airbur]

It lives in the garage.....but sometimes my garage doesn't retract all the way....I know about it, but yesterday I forgot and ripped myself a new sunroof.

I used wide roll-bar tape on both sides and it's at least patched.

[Viperwolf1]

An upholstery shop can stitch that up for next to nothing.

[airbur]

Any suggestions on a good shop down south here?

[Rox Crusher]

A couple of years ago I had a leather jacket altered by

Alexander's Leather Repair
3441 S. Broadway

303 934 7940

They could do it easy peasy

[Entourage]

That sucks, Airbur. I am within a 1/4" of my garage with my Bestop up so the very same thing may happen to me. I wanna know how you knew to stop and not run the whole top into tht garage. Looks like you are living right or just lucky. Either way, that could have been MUCH worse.

[Viperwolf1]

You could always mount a $3000 bicycle on the top as reminder to not just whip into the garage haphazardly.




Oh wait, that doesn't always work.

haha...yea, it actually happened while I slowly pulled out of the garage:(

If I could figure out how to mount a little hydraulic arm to the flap, I could run a switch down to the dash and call it "sun-flap".

[Shawns Fords]

That sucks alright.

You know what else sucks? When your driving along the road minding your own business when some fool decides to pass a mile long of cars (whom are also minding their own business just trying to get wherever they are going) on the right lane which is narrowed down and merged into the one we are all in. Decided instead of slowing down and get in line with everyone else will just "push one of the others out of that lane'" well not today buddy, you need to get in line with the rest of us. People that do not think they are required to merge into traffic suck!


Then flip me off, ill just wave hi and smile and go on my way.

[airbur]

Agreed....that does suck!

[Booger]

.........Then flip me off, ill just wave hi and smile and go on my way.

Sounds like me. I just wave at them and smile.

A couple weeks ago son and I were headed out of town and driving I-76. Traffic came to a crawl and I could see ahead that the CDOT truck was flashing for everyone to merge left. As I was in the left lane I was nice enough to let ones in as we were not in any hurry. Got closer to the CDOT crew and there was this guy driving a van that cut over into my lane one car up. He went a short ways then cut back over and tried to pass the CDOT truck on the shoulder. Well the crew was working there way across the lane I think filling the cracks with asphalt and were right in the shoulder area at the time. The CDOT driver saw this guy coming up the shoulder and cut him off then had to swing back over to protect the workers. What a moron the van driver was. He even got further behind because no one would let him in for several cars.

Yeah stupid people suck.

I cant believe someone would try something like that. This is the kind of stuff that causes many road construction crews having more of our tax dollars spent by having a squid car parked there just to prevent. and that means having more tax payers dollars spent, sucks!

[Booger]

I agree. Waste of manpower and money but there are a lot of idiots out there. I still think stupid people shouldn't breed.

[Shawns Fords]

Do you know what else sux? 93 Degree weather sux!

[plumbdoctor]

What SUX! is having to work out of town all summer long and miss out on everthing!! Now that SUX! I think Kinder would agree, as I see him lurking around here on occasion.

[Rox Crusher]

damnit, you know what really sucks............................

working your butt off for two full days replacing a noisy power steering pump on my F150 (Thanks so much to 76Ford for helping today)

only to a freakin hole in the plastic radiator when I bolted the shroud back into place.

anyone know of a way to fix this without having to r & r with a used / new radiator ?

WOW! Rox and his little Roxette just came to my door and dropped off a strawberry cake and a 12 pack of adult beverages for helping him out today. Thanks and it goes without saying, "you didn't need to do that". 76fordbroncogirl says thank you too! Just an FYI, that's about a 45 minute drive one way for them. A-MAZ-ING!

Thanks for the cake. I was actually glad to get rid of him for the day.

[Shawns Fords]

It SUX not having AC and thanks to 76 for letting me use your gauges really quick. Found out I have a bad coil, ordered one from Rock auto.

I didn't notice that one of the bolts was about 3/8" longer than the other so that's what I get

I borrowed some watermelon hubba bubba bubblegum from Madison so we should be good to go now.......................right ?

[ClayJ]

Here's what sucked today, 5 miles North of Westcliff at 65mph



Luckily is was a straight piece of road. I'd never blown a tire on a bike before. Within 2 seconds the rear end was flopping left and right with very little steering control. I just reduced throttle and let the bike slow naturally to about 30, then pulled the clutch and let it coast to a stop. I have no idea what brakes on either front or rear would have done but I didn't want to find out.

As for the wear, the tire is only 2 months old with less than 5k miles on it. I think it was all the chipseal roads I've been on. I should have checked the tire this morning, but I didn't.

Dont laugh but we did that once in Power Pull. The motor lifted soo much the fan blade ripped up the radiator so we all started chewing gum to plug the holes and
pushed it to the line for the next pull and ended up taking home a 1st place in Super Stock. LOL[/quote]

I used gum to seal a hole in my transfercase, due to my moms ex husband drilling a hole in it. Just to get it to the shop. Didn't leak a drop.

two things for me!!!!

#1 My wife's cat "Phill" is Dying, His vet bills have averaged about 700+ this month,

That was my Bronco money My wife is pretty upset about it. We think he may make it two more months,
The vet is unable to give us an answer on what the issue is, We do know his liver is shutting down and he hasn't eaton in days.

#2 My allergies have me in complete shutdown mode, Drives me nuts knowing I can't get out and work on "Harold"
Gives me sometime to research how to change the pinion seal and rebuild the carb

That sux on the cat being sick. Too bad you weren't around here a few weeks back. Had a heck of a class over at zillacon's place on rebuilding diffs. Keep watching around here and I'm sure it will happen again. Zoso (my son) wants to hold one on doing front ball joints sometime in the future.

My father was a veterinarian. My mom always said "The small animal practice paid for his large animal habit"

My father loved most all animals, but he especially loved horses and cows. But farmers wouldn't spend much money at all on a sick animal.

On the other hand, people will pay big dollars to keep the family pet alive.

His favorite joke was: How many vets does it take to change a lightbulb? It takes 2, one to change the bulb and another to gripe that MDs get 10 times the money for the exact same operation.

That sux, I had a friend with a cat with some health issues, she took it to the "cat vet" and they wanted to charge her an arm and a leg, did a bunch of un needed things and didnt even properly diagnose his condition. I sent her to my vet and got him handled for half as much.

I would suggest Academy Acres Animal hospital to anyone that needs anything handled for their pets. They take great care of my Best Friend and is reasonably priced.

On that note, my MIL works for Mesa Vet in Pueblo and they too are a good place to take your pets and are reasonable on their prices. We used them even when we lived in Denver.

Not having any bronco money. that's what sucks.
