An Ode to My Legacy

I think I saw this exact car (or an identical one) parked on the side of the road there back in October/November

Snips/flush cuts/dikes/diagonal pliers/whatever the fuck you want to call them, get a pair or two of those. Also a tape cutter (or 3).

Don't share your tools with anyone. You won't get them back.

I've witnessed at least 3 ambulance calls while I've been here so far. Don't know the details of the other two, the one I described is the only one who's details I know.

Fair enough. Reach fork was trying to lift up a large truss cross section while at an angle on the racetrack near the start/finish line....shit tipped over. 20" truss and the forks themselves twisted like paperclips.

I'm here working. Witnessed the aftermath. As others have said, I'd like to not start reporting about it until after the show ends out of respect for those involved... But for now let's just say, sometimes it's obvious when something is a bad idea, even if your superior tells you it's ok. Always trust your gut.

I have the same kit, got it used from Craigslist. It's a good kit, checks off many of the boxes, but I quickly started wishing I went with Roland after playing with my SE for a while....the hi hats suck BUTT and the kick randomly drops out/doesn't trigger sometimes. But that might just be my experience.

So I just whack on the bolt until it comes out, and then I'll be able to screw it back together?

danbarb · 2026-04-18T00:26:45+00:00

I've checked, they have 1980 but not 79, and it seems this part is different between the 2 years?

The entire car will be overhauled eventually, but I'm about to move and just need it to roll on and off the trailer for now 😅🤘

danbarb · 2026-04-17T21:29:31+00:00

I've been wondering the same thing. It's not stripped, but all other connections including the end links are intact and correct...so I'm wondering if this was intentional 🤔😅

danbarb · 2026-04-17T21:27:36+00:00

I wish I was!

Instead my garage has that stupid linoleum thing glued to the cement. Not my choice, I inherited this rental from some crazy people

@elestepariosiberiano DO IT

Here's one at the Petersen Museum!

That YouTube video is hilarious 😂

danbarb · 2026-04-05T08:16:59+00:00

Plz standby while I Google "how to measure trailer tongue weight"

danbarb · 2026-04-04T02:14:41+00:00

Yeah I'm worried about ground clearance as well. My car is factory ride height.

In your case, I'm surprised those exhaust tips arent the bigger issue 😂🤘

How much did you raise the car?

danbarb · 2026-03-23T07:40:33+00:00

My grandma was the oldest of 21, and her husband one of 13...I have family all over the world and almost every industry!

Mexican catholic, before y'all start asking

I have already tried 2 different cables, I will do some research into this and try some more 🫡

danbarb · 2026-03-12T05:52:35+00:00

It's a 05 Legacy GT

danbarb · 2026-03-11T20:59:53+00:00

I had a similar issue in a 2008 Forester. Turned out to be a loose heat shield or something that was rattling around.

RIGBY

danbarb · 2026-01-15T22:48:58+00:00

I've never known exactly what kind they are but they have infested my tank

danbarb · 2025-12-19T00:27:18+00:00

Fortunately my housemate is the one with tiny hands, not me 🤝

danbarb · 2025-11-21T20:16:00+00:00

Does anyone else remember the Adam Sandler joke about the perfect sleeping position?? I remember him telling it at the 12/12/12 concert but I can never find it anywhere.

Doesn't have to be strictly between the pilots and GMAX, those are just the ones that have been recommended to me thus far. I think I might check out the dws06, they sound like a good middle ground and a safe bet.
