2: pain.
3: Hospitals.
4: PTSD.
5: People who make fun of disability.
6: Spinal injuries that stop you from doing what you love.
7: Insurance companies.
8: people who nearly run you over while illegally parking in disabled sections.
9: Watching people die in front of you.

I love my family and cars.

Heater core let go in my EL Fairmont Ghia, so we decided to convert it to manual while the dash was out.

Person who took dash out and put it back in didn't connect the vacuum lines properly, so now I've got no controls over the vents/heat and the car is running rough because of a vacuum leak behind the dash which I can hear loudly.

Also got airbag light on so theres some damage been done when it was pulled apart.....

Project car is very close to going to SIMS metal.

I know there is still a lot of hate so reviving this topic would do us all a world of good.

1. I hate dopey drivers who even after you have flashed your lights at them 100 times, still find it essential to stay in the ending lane until it is completely finished. I mean they stay in it till they are just about off road!!!!

2. Slows arse drivers. The kind of punk that will sit on 60 in a 80 zone and then hit the brakes when you are within 2 car lengths of them.

3. A’s I’m typing this in the work lunch room I have some knob complaining about minute details that in the long run mean about as much to me as how long the grass is going to grow today. I mean really, get a life. His life must be pretty easy if all he has to worry about is how his swipe card works intermittently.

Well that’s a good start and I feel a world better.

It made me chuckle a bit seeing my previous post in this thread.
The funny thing is that bad day vent led to meeting some really decent people that reached out and completely changed the course of my life.
Simple acts of kindness that formed genuine friendships and restored faith in humanity.
We tipped the pizza guy an Edith Cowin recently, he got really nervous and kept trying to explain currency to us. He had this weird look like we were making fun of him or such but then bounced up the driveway with more thank you's than steps coming from his body. We owed a "pay it forward" thing promised to our aunty, so not an entirely selfless act but still brings smiles along with the thin and crispy order.
Balance your sins out

Ryan and Ellen, thank you.
