Guest Incandenza Report post Posted December 2, 2002 I think the real mystery is who that NYC Bus person is. (S)he delivered a very cutting summation of other posters' behavior vis-a-vis trolls here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest DrTom Report post Posted December 2, 2002 I think we should try to book hotel rooms no later than the end of this week. By then, we'll need to know how many people are going so we know how many rooms to get. A block would be nice, but I don't know if it will be possible. I can make the reservation for the rooms when the time comes. And I've heard flights out of Guadalajara are cheap this time of year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Kotzenjunge Report post Posted December 2, 2002 A bit of a downer from this end, folks. BLACK MANTA~! is majorly fucked up (it involves removing the manifold and $100 in little parts; I leave the rest to the imagination), so my ability to go on this trip is in some major-ass jeopardy. Anyways, apologies to Incandenza and Kinetic if this isn't fixed by then, I know this fucks up a lot. Oh, and since I know Alina still looks at this thread, it isn't because you got a boyfriend. It's because cars will hate me always, no matter how much care or love I show for them. Kinda like my family. Fo sheez, Kotzenjunge Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest EricMM Report post Posted December 2, 2002 Oh, and since I know Alina still looks at this thread, it isn't because you got a boyfriend. It's because cars will hate me always, no matter how much care or love I show for them. Kinda like my family. WhaFUCK!? SO many things shady about that statement... AAAAAANYways. What exactly was this gathering supposed to entail? As you all know the sooner this gets worked out the better. You need plans or else they will fail. Are you trying to go out, or stay in, or what? I mean, am I going to need a hotel room? I dunno, because, if things happen during they metro hours, I won't. If they don't, then I will. For me going into DC is not a big deal so I don't want to make plans if anyone has any desire to do any DC type things? If you all just want to schmooze about some TGIFridays type restaurant, that's something else. if you want to go clubbing, that's something else. I for one enjoy eating out and meeting people over dinner. That'd be my vote. I know Kotz wants to go dancing, anyone else? Are there any other plans?

Guest EricMM Report post Posted December 2, 2002 Well, this trip's falling apart nicely. I didn't do it! I'm TRYING! Does anyone have a problem with the smarks coming down, eating a meal some place, and then doing WHATEVER (see Lord of the Rings, I don't care, go raving, go fucking MIDNIGHT BOWLING ) then crash at some hotel and then in the morning do something else?

Replace "shady" with "*cough*bullshit*cough*" and you're dead on. Yes, this "Julio" fellow would know, wouldn't he. You'd almost think it were Alina on a new name, despite being banned before. Of course we all know something like that could never get through the cracks, right? Right? Oh fuck it, this Julio person is Alina, for any mod who may see this who doesn't know it yet. And sorry about everything, guys. I'm going to do my damndest to get this car working before then. Hell, it fucked up my plans to go to a rave in Fort Mill, so I'm VERY cheesed about it. It could actually be fixed as soon as Thursday, but it's going to take a LOT of work. Fo sheez, Kotzenjunge Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Texas Small Arms 09 Report post Posted December 2, 2002 Kotz - what happened anyway? And Eric, at one point wasn't the trip supposed to be about meeting, talking, drinking, then finding girls and scoring? Or you guys could always play "Pass The Whore" and you could all take turns with Alina Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest EricMM Report post Posted December 2, 2002 And Eric, at one point wasn't the trip supposed to be about meeting, talking, drinking, then finding girls and scoring? Hah. With everyone sharing a room, THAT ain't happening. I don't know y'all that well. I said I want to associate names with voices, not names with um... noises...

Guest Kinetic Report post Posted December 2, 2002 I'm not a very happy Kinetic right now. No, sir. The Bucs and Gators both lose in the same weekend, I have to join the military, my entire life is crumbling around me, and the D.C. trip might be cancelled. Wonderful. It could still work out, I guess. Go Kotz! Work on that car! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest EricMM Report post Posted December 2, 2002 But anways, about the DC gathering... Do we have a legitimate list of who's going? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Kotzenjunge Report post Posted December 2, 2002 Wait, what really happened with the car? Allrighty, here's what happened: The thermostat was jammed in such a way that it was actually stopping all coolant from getting into the engine as opposed to just regulating it. This meant we needed to take it out, but to get to it, we needed to remove the housing that it was held in. Both bolts that were holding the housing snapped off rather than just come out, since they've apparently not been touched since the car was manufactured. So my friend had an idea to get them out that involved a dremmel and stuff (I forget the details), but his girlfriend came back to town from school in Wisconsin and my father grew impatient for some reason as far as fixing the car. So he brought over a drill and attempted to drill the bolts and then use an easy-out on them, but that didn't work either. My uncle thought he could help by CHISELING them out, but he just made it worse, as you can guess. So now we have to remove the entire manifold and have father take it to his machine shop and such to fix it. Either that, or I work with another uncle for a few weeks to save up the money for the 5.0L engine. The point is that it may or may not be fixed by the time this trip rolls around.

Guest Incandenza Report post Posted December 2, 2002 Taking Tom's proposed plan in hand, the end of this week seems to be the final deadline for everyone to get their shit together and decide if this is really happening. If Kotz's car can't make it, then there's no way I'm going, because of the already present risk factor in driving my car so far. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest EricMM Report post Posted December 2, 2002 Ok so we have 6 days. I am going if it happens, fo sheez... I may or may not need a hotel room but honestly might as well plan on me having one than not. But I can't see us using more than two... who's got that kind of money? But Kinetic there's no reason why you should be scared. There's no reason this trip shouldn't work if we all work at it. After all, there are lots of ways to travel if it really means that much. How many people are necessary? It's not like we'll have too few... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Kotzenjunge Report post Posted December 2, 2002 There are other cars, but their abilities to go such a distance are questionable. The station wagon has a great engine and runs fine, but its brakes are not really the best, in fact that's why I don't drive it anymore, because they couldn't stop me before I crashed into that other car from behind. It's possible to take it, but I don't know if it'd be able to make the trip, that's all. Father has been speaking of me driving the wagon regularly and making the Mustang a "project car," which is his way of saying "I want nothing more to do with it, it can rot for all I care."

Guest Kinetic Report post Posted December 2, 2002 Well...you could always leave your car at my house and take my car to D.C. It runs fine and dandy. If you're confident enough in your car's ability to make it from Charleston to Raleigh, I've got not problems with anything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you only had a lame name and jobbed incessantly on Jakked... you would understand. MIDNIGHT BOWLING ) then crash at some hotel and then in the morning do something else? It seems like Midnight Bowling is the only thing I do when I go out now... I've never done it with you studs though, so it sounds fun! Oh fuck it, this Julio person is Alina, for any mod who may see this who doesn't know it yet. I'm not this "Alina" person. By the way, "fuck it" was probably a poor choice of words, since that's rather unlikely. Or you guys could always play "Pass The Whore" and you could all take turns with Alina Guys, leave Jenny alone... I get this a lot. I understand that you're jealous honey... and that's ok. I was once in the same position. However, you need to take the initiative to change your life. Try joining a sport, working out more, or just something to inspire you in life. Then, you can be a fit, desireable and attractive person like me... and the jealousy goes away! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
