I have the Charger sitting outside (it's been above freezing for a few days so no snow out on the driveway) with the hood sitting on the roof of the car, on top of the car cover while the engine is out.
Well, the winds just blew the hood into the engine bay and shredded the car cover.
Guess it's a good thing it was going off to paint anyway.
The guy who broke the car dolly I'm waiting to borrow hasn't fixed it yet so I can't tow the car till he gets it here.. that jackass.
He's the reason it took me till now to get the engine out, too.. frakker had the engine lift I wanted to borrow from my friend.. then I finally said screw it and bought my own crane.. and not a week later the asshat returns the other one.. Not like he didn't have it for 6 months for no damned reason already.
Now I'm supposed to rely on this chucklehead to show up and help push the car onto the trailer, too?
wonderful.
That's why I'm lucky my uncle owns a shop... I get the use of any tools I need, a bay to work in, and the truck and trailer if I need it... Plus all 3 of my moms brothers are mechaincs, so it's all good....

We got tornado watches this morning... There was a nice dark cloud laying over the metro area...

Glad I work in the boonies... about 25 miles from my house :)

scarrell - hell, its hard to get the fans on for more than a few hours.... my hosue is like an oven in the summer... it could be 80° outside and feel like 95 inside.. or i swear thats how it goes. same thing in the winter.

My parents were the same way with the AC untill my alergies just got worse and worse as I got older.

Then there is my Uncle who has the reasoning that if it 100 outside, it will fell better if it is 88 inside. He has central air and will set the thermostat at 88 during the summer.

hahaha Darthness that is Exactly like my house... my parents Wont turn it on til its friggin super hot.. like 90+, and my mom will have all the windows open and all the fans up and goin full blast!... and we only have one AC, and no central air :sad017:

It was pretty funny, my sister went to close the window right when lightning stuck something close by, she drove in the floor and covered her head... I almost pissed myself laughing!!!! :D

But yeah, it didnt get too bad here, mainly just brief but really heavy rain and lightning...

I'm a few weeks away from moving to a "mobile home community". much bigger house (mobile home) but thats going to suck if we finally a get a hurricane or tornado (havn't seen a decent hurricane here in like 6 years and never seen a tornado!
