This sunday's gonna be weird.. the 'Hawks have a bye.

There will be an empty place in my soul.

Haha that's what I said!

Shouldn't that be in Seattle sports? But yes, I was out at training camp last week and we're looking strong. Chris Clemons may be back for the season opener against Carolina and Jermaine Kearse is moving into the #4 wideout spot with his strong play. Meanwhile, Russell is Russell and Marshawn looks fresh. Here we go!

Timing belt and many other fun things fixed and replaced today. Also picked these up from Matt last night. Since they were a steal and I'll only use them when absolutely necessary, I'm thinking I'll have some fun choosing what color to paint them. Candidates are dark red (simple, cool), dark purple (UW, goes with the gold), and dark blue. Open to suggestions though. Don't like the chrome and no use painting them black since I already have the black pegs. Looking plasti-dip them too. Anyone know of a good easy, cheap place around Seattle?

terrible smelling? dead bodies in the corner?, old un-emptied outhouse next to the lifts? (not something I usually notice in a garage unless it's really rank)

Just really heavy B.O. mixed with auto smells. Nothing I noticed causing it.

Oh yea it was nasty and terrible smelling but the guy driving the tow truck was nice enough so I said sure.

That disconnected hose would have caused all sorts of problems with your MAF. Glad Austin helped you get it sorted. Where did you take the car?

I'm pretty sure you are required to take it to a certain dealership since you're part of the crew.

Seriously though, where did you go?

Yea it did cause lots of issues. Austin did a great job. So when the car stalled on Eastlake I called my 24/7 roadside help covered by Allstate. The guy in the tow truck that came offered to take it to his garage and company he worked for. I said alright and it ended up being Speedway Collision Center in South Seattle. They did put in a great new alternator though. But yea, the fact that they didn't reconnect that hose means I'll obviously never go back and time to write some bad reviews online! Haha.

I'm taking it to Barrier soon for a full service that it's due for and a new timing belt since it hasn't been replaced yet and I'm at 108K miles. Going to Barrier simply because that's where it's always gone for services and such.

After a dead alternator, stalling on Eastlake Ave near downtown Seattle, taking taxis everywhere, having a disconnected intercooler hose caused by the shop I went to, experiencing additional computer problems that caused my car to stall on Elliot Ave last night and almost on the Ballard Bridge, and getting huge help from Austin resetting my car's computer and codes plus reconnecting that tube....finally, my car is back at 100%. Whew.

Congrats man.

Thank you!

My boss has heard of you then.

Ok, that's pretty cool Well, this is a hard job I'm taking but it's the next step to the top. My dream is to be a host and I'll do anything and everything to attain it!

You were Jackson the intern?

Haha, yes.

I'll take your car on the cruise if you'll pay for gas.

Haha, I might just agree to that, actually.

What is the job? My boss is streaming KJR in his office every day.

I'll be doing the broadcasting (not announcing) for the Tacoma Rainiers games on affiliate 850 South Sound.

Hey guys, I wanted to stop in and say that I have gotten a job at Sports Radio KJR that will be every day through September 4th. While I'm working in my dream workplace, it also means I will not be able to attend any coming events such as the Port Townsend Cruise, IPD, or the Leavenworth Drive. I'll miss all of you and your filthy cars. See you in late 2013 or 2014!

Holy crap!!! It was 35 this morning but sunny down here!

Here too! 40 and sunny!

Dang Austin, sorry to see that :/

So Taylor fixed his car apparently. I think the drama queen needs to say "you were right" to Matt and Danny haha.

Where's Jackson...

Jackson doesn't even like the ones he has.

Aw thanks for thinking of me haha. Seriously though, if you ever see something cool for an S60 for sale, let me know. Unfortunately yea, I got a fairing and load bars a while back for my car and haven't used them in a long time. They simply just don't look good. If I ever start boarding again, I'll be happy I kept them though.

Purposely? How is that different from every other Volvo you run into the ground? This is the pattern Mossback was talking about haha.

I tell ya what Taylor, you buy my car, and I'll buy Danny's V70 T5.

Actually, nevermind, I wouldn't want to see you kill another Volvo- let alone mine haha.

I'm sensing a pattern here, move to Toyota maybe?

Well played haha

Love the new sig, Matt. Filthy!

My car half exploded last night.... Bye bye Trans/driveline/rear end.

Just wondering... are you ever going to get and stick with a car that actually works?

Thread About Nothin? Yea, this seems appropriate. Enjoy.
