how the hell do you work on your car when its so damn cold out? Ive got a long list of things to do but they may have to wait till the ice caps melt, its brick out. also i have to fart something awfull, but cant cut one cause im at work
propane heater that pumps out 35k BTUs warms the garage up to about 45-50*... t-shirt weather lol. the carbon monoxide kills brain cells though... i had that thing running all day, plus I emptied 1 bottle of carb cleaner and 1.5 bottles of brake cleaner into the garage as well. my mom told me something and then asked me about it later and I had no clue she even came out to the garage and told me....

fenix just let 'er rip in the bathroom. i have an office so i just close the door and go to town hahahaha

I tried the bathroom thing, but everytime i get up the feeling goes away. I hada philly cheese steak and im lactose intolerant, and i work in a cubicle with people all around me. its gonna be a long hour and a half to go.

I wish i had a garage to do the work in. I dont have any room in my crap little appartment, its not that small room wise. Infact its pretty big for the price i pay. 850/month for a 1bedroom/bathroom/full kitchen/living room/storage room. The drawbacks, its a basement appartment so the floors are always cold, good in summer very bad in winter. And the celing is only 6ft high, im 5ft 11in so i cant jump up when the giants score or ill risk a concusion

didnt get to get it inspected, parts will be in tomorrow, kinda hard to drive in the cold without a defroster. Then spent another $80 on a new battery.

Wish I had a garage too! I have to drive 30 min to my moms house to use here garage that has all of my tools in it.

Only 6 ft ceilings? For $850/mo I could get a lot more around here, but the markets different where you are. And 6 ft. cellings lol. I'm 6'3". I'd have to crouch just to walk around. lol

HAHA i do have to duck everywhere, there are light fixtures and door ways i have to watch out for. also theres a step up in the hallway so i have to duck there. Also I have to stand with my feet shoulder width apart in the shower so my head doesnt hit the celing, also wherethe water facuet comes out it hits me in the chest so i have to duck to wash my hair. the funniest thing is my front (and only) door, its about 4ft, no BS. Think hobbit door but rectangle. Sounds crappy, but for the price i pay and the neighborhood i live in its a freaking steal. I dont worry about where my car is parked, i always get the same spot right infront of my place. Ive got friends paying much more than what i pay for just to live "Above ground". Ha! Losers! when the zombies come ill be the one with the fortified bunker and theyll be begging me to come in, but i wont let em, cause theyve probably got some sort of zombie cooties.

Might pick them bad boys up come spring and throw some 3000K HID in them... H and A has them for $200 OEM... why not... perfect fitment, great light pattern and not dealing with sh***y aftermarket brands.

i say go for em, if they dont look good on the car you can put them in your house so when the hordes of zombies come you can shine it on them. I heard they dont like bright lights
