This sucks at the sam time though as far as the program. I was planning on driving my new to me 240SX to the AFM meet this year since I didn't get to go last year and meeting the people off of this site and seeing their cars in person. I was going to buy one of the banners like they had last year and have everyone sign it just for the hell of it because I don't know that i'll be able to make it every year and just to have it. Now not only will I not be able to get the banner and everything but I won't be making it to the meet. Someone needs to do that for me and mail that shit to me lol. I'll at least have a pice of the meet lol. Anyways idk. I still have to go do intake and everything and there's some other stuff to be taken care of. I won't be around the site for a while though. Not that I was a big contributing member with alot of knowledge or anything but I was learning alot from this place.Comment

The only experience I have is with my parents, like I said. Granted they were in a way different position in life, but you don't want to keep doing down that same road. I can't imagine it just gets better. I couldn't be happier that my parents went through it, I can imagine how it would have been if they went through the program earlier. I would not have had to grow up in such a shitty fucking household.
Right on man.

Thanks for the support and kind words man. It means more than you know. I've been going through this for a while. Like right now i'm about to walk 4 miles round trip to go get another half gallon of this fucking poison. I mean it's not always that I do dumb things when i'm drinking. I actually like to drink and sit around and work on cars and have bonfires and just chill with my friends. But there's other times when it leads me to doing things that aren't acceptable at all. I gotta get to the store though before they close and i'll be back. Thanks again. You've been the only one on here so far to talk about this so it's nice to at least have one person. There's a couple more but they haven't read this yet I guess. It's cool though. brbOriginally posted by ilovemycb7 View PostIt's worth it. You're on the right track.

Definitely. It's hard to really understand how you feel. I'm 19 and I've had two beers in my life (flamesuit: on). I just have my parents to go off.Originally posted by Brandoncb7 View Post
I know for my parents they felt like shit just getting smashed every night though. Going through the program I can tell that they are proud and feel much better about themselves in general. Which in turn helps out in all areas of life - like I said earlier.
Alcohol can get really out of hand, so if you can't control yourself you're very smart to help yourself. No reason to keep walking down a path you're not happy with, take a year or two out of your life now so that you can enjoy the many many more years ahead of that. Plus, completing a goal for yourself always feels good.
I can't count the times, as a little kid, that I was fucking scared of my dad and step mom and told them to get help. Not once did they listen to me. My step mom finally had to make the choice herself, and once my dad saw what she was doing he then realized that he should do the same. The fact that you're aware and making the choice yourself says a lot about your desire to do something more with your life. Stick to it!Last edited by ilovemycb7; 07-29-2009, 10:21 PM.Comment

So, I was driving thru town tonight, doing about 20 mph, there was a car in front of me, it stopped, I tried to stop, brake pedal went to the floor, needless to say, my car is wrecked. I was fucking mad. I just had Les Schwab's do some work on my front end and a new right rear wheel bearing. My car has been making a weird noise, almost like a rock in a hub cap, but, I don't have hub caps. Anyhow, I took it down there yesterday to have one of the guys look at it, he got in my car, we went for a drive, never made that noise so he didn't put it on the rack to look at anything.
Fast forward to tonight, this happens. The guy I hit is ok, I'm a bit sore, my back and head are killing me, but I'll live.
So, I'm calling Schwab's in the morning to let em know that they may be liable for this, since they just did the work, and it's made noise since the day they worked on it, yet wouldn't make a worthy attempt to check it out.
So, for now, my car will sit. I just need a new hood, headlights, grill, maybe a core support, but the h22 and everything else is fine, thank God. It drew quite a crowd in a short time. I'll try and take pics in the morningComment

That sucks man. Someone backed into my car a while back and I still don't have it fixed.
I've been working on my car trying to get it ready to trade for a few days now. I got a new plug and wire and put them on. Then I turn the key and it won't crank, battery's dead. So I put it on the charger over night. I come back out the next day, put it in the car and turn the key, same fucking thing. So I get a different charger and put it on there and have it charging for a while only to find out later it wasn't making a good contact. I moved the clamps around and it started sparking and was holy shit I just need to clean everything. That a dumbass mistake on my part. A wire brush and about a minutes worth of time and everything is good. I let it charge over night again. I go out back today and put the battery in the car and still nothing. It turns over but will not start. I pulled the gas line off of the fuel rail and turned the key to the on position, pump primed, but no gas came out. The whole damn time I had been looking at it and wondering WTF and it was because it has sat there and didn't have enough gas in it lol. This bitch better start this afternoon after I go to the store and get some fuel. Anyways that's about all I can bitch about right now. Other than the fact i've been out in the woods for the last week cutting down brush and small trees. It's humid and hot as hell outside lately. Time to get back to work though.
EDIT: I just put gas in the car, turn the key, and the mofo cranked right up. Bitchilism is over.......as far as the car goes.Last edited by Brandoncb7; 08-06-2009, 06:49 PM.Comment

Here's a pic of the damage to my car. Not bad, definitely fixable.
Didn't even break my fog light. The other bumper light is in the back seat, it fell out upon impact, I just never put it back in. It didn't even break my headlight bulbsComment

I didn't forget to put gas in the car. The last time I drove it the gas light had never come on so I figured everything was good. I guess with it sitting there for so long though that it needed more. Oh well. I drove it today and it seems like it's missing every now and then. Maybe condensation in the tank?? It was sitting there for like three months. You think gas treatment would cure this if that's what it really is?Originally posted by DA92CB7 View PostComment

Damn man. I was bitching about my car when it got hit but you have it a little bit worse than me. I only need one headlight and a set of corners. I need a hood but that's because of other reasons. After that I broke the front and back bumpers though. Bodykits FTMFL!Comment

Exactly. The shitty thing is, the headlights, grill, bumper, hood, and bumper lights were all brand new. I got em last winter, but, never put em in until after the motor swap. So, they may of been on the car a month, 6 weeks topsComment

Fuck people on Craigslist, have had a set of Jeep wheels/tires for sale for awhile and a person decided to be an asshole and give me a shitty message. So here is what I did on the post, below the asking price:

also used the email address and posted an ad on CL.
