You shoulda bust the window right away if you had the insurance coverage on the rental.... that would have been GREAT therapy and instant gradification!

Here's to a good weekend for the Rockster:

 

Oh yeah... I'm a huge dog lover (my mutt is like a daughter to me). I watched a dog that looked almost like the one that I have here at the house get run over by an Explorer Sport on the drive home too... it caught underneath the Explorer and the guy had to 'fish' it out. That shook me too...

Just a REALLY lousy day.


It just kept getting better huh, plus you had to listen to me bitch about the ebay fool.

Heres to the weekend.

 

Yep 04... that happend on the Mountain Parkway... poor thing had it coming chasing cars but, I really wish I wouldn't have watched it happen in the rearview...

 

D's got a point...breaking glass can be lots of fun. Case in point, so's you know we all got them days:

I was about a year into working at the stealership. Still green, coming from tire shops, had to put a window regulator in a Mercury Mystique (or Mistake, depending on how you look at it). Well, the regulator is held to the window by a pair of expandable plastic bushings, they spread out when a bolt in the center is tightened. I never replaced a regulator in a Mistake before, so I get the book, says to carefully pry the window away from the regulator. Okay, no sweat, pry a bit...don't budge. Hm. WTF? Maybe should ask someone... says that little voice in the back of my head. I'll give it one more try...

POW! Glass shatters. Shop goes quiet, guy next to me starts clapping. Makes you feel about the size of a flea.

Fast forward a couple weeks later. Doing a recall on an Isuzu Rodeo that involves installing some stupid little foam strips in the A-pillars as part of a safety recall in case in a wreck, someone's head goes flying into the A-pillar. There's a bunch of #3 Phillips head screws in the A-pillar that must have been installed by the hand of Gawd himself. Okay, no sweat, got my shiny new 14.4V DeWalt cordless drill, crank that sucker up as high as it'll go, #2 on the torque setting, came right out. Go to reinstall them, and forget that on full blast, the clutch doesn't slip. Screw bottoms out, drill kicks back, smashes into the windshield and puts a bigass spiderweb on it, pretty one too.

Four years later, still ain't lived that one down.
