quite upset right. spent the past 2 1/2 hrs waiting to get my tires balanced at the local merchant's tire and auto. they fucking suck. 2 1/2 hrs of my life gone, while other people were walking in and out of the store getting their cars fixed as well. shit if i had a tire balancer i could have done it myself in like 20 fucking minutes. and it takes them 2 1/2 hrs to even get my car in the shop? fuck that shit

Does this exhaust mani gasket look OEM to you guys? I bought them from FCP (listed as OEM) and I want to make sure they are OEM and not crappy aftermarket. Last time I replaced exhaust mani gaskets I don't recall there being a black lip on the gasket. Can anyone confirm?

Condensation inside the window turned to ice ? :lol:

We were supposed to get 2 inches, we have 1/8 at best. I guess the sled will have to wait a few more days. <_<

Actually it's the snow build up against my french doors. I opened the door to take some shots of the deck. Some ice fell on the rug.
