Not having a Garand of my own.

And who's fault is that.....

When there is a nice on for sale here on the board right now...

I'm a concrete pillar, I can handle so much, and make it look effortless.....but at some point, after weight keeps getting added, cracks start to form, and if you get a big enough crack, a catastrophic/cascade failure can occur.

Right now, I have no means to decompress, and weight keeps getting added... and I don't wanna start self medicating with alcohol or anything else because that never ends well, and I don't really drink anyway, so..

Most people have shit to do to relax, I have just enough time on my hands to worry about everything constantly.

I think declaring bankruptcy will solve most of my immediate problems.... My monthly expenses would drop to less than $200

You need to take care of yourself first my Friend, make yourself the priority. After that you can worry about others and their issues. You have to come first in your situation for own good.

It's easy for others to armchair your situation, most of us don't live it from our comfortable Homes. Look into some of the community services offered in Federal Way, i hope there are some you can take advantage of.

Your Heart is in the right place, now get your head in that place too.

......and the city put a tow notice on my legally parked vehicles, citing a law that doesn't apply, which states that vehicles can't be left unattended for more than 24 hours AND they must make efforts to call the owner. DOL has my #, and when I called PD, they said they 'don't have time' to call me...

Great, so, basically 'fuck the law, we'll tow your shit anyway'.

Real smart people I'm dealing with.... turn me into a criminal, see how well that works out.

Angry and frustrated ventings are one thing man, but some things you say start to border on manifesto level. I am genuinely sorry you're in another shitstorm. Making veiled threats against LE will never help your cause though.

Got my car diagnosed, the crank is moving a lot. So I had to buy a new engine, found a used one for 4,600. Not bad for a car that isnt even 2 years old yet.

For what I've spent I could have a forged bottom end, big ass turbo and upgraded fuel system. Could have had one of the fastest current model gti's in the area making 600hp. I did score a downpipe so I'll go stage 2 tune so I'll pick up 40ish hp, and the shop will be installing a meth/water kit that should be good for another 40ish. So it will make about the same power as throwing a golf R turbo on it. The car should run a low 12-high 11 making 380hp and 430ftlbs

Commentary ≠ threat

Edit: When they lump me in with 'those people', ie heroin addicts, thieves, etc they're 'turning me into a criminal'..

I've been doing shit for them and the community, that would obviously stop if they keep pulling stupid shit like this.

Hence the 'see how well that works out for them', when they piss off/treat like shit someone who has been helping them.

Ever heard 'don't bite the hand that feeds you'?

But thanks, for assuming I'd go on some shooting spree or blow some shit up because they illegally threatened to tow my truck.... Glad you think so highly of me...

A 2 y/o car isn't under warranty?

It has a tune so they deny it

Shit. Can you remove the tune? You shouldn't be tossing an engine unless you removed the rev limiter and kept banging it hard....

Crank thrust? So endplay is too much?

Makes sense when you're using a heavier than stock clutch that they won't warranty the engine.

You HAVE to disconnect the "clutch down to start" switch or its going to happen again.

Think of it this way....over time with the engine off the crank has dripped dry..ish . You press it down shoving the crank forward and then start . It rotates how many revolutions before it gets oil fed?

it's always going to seen by a tech when they hook the car up. The thrust bearings failed because I put a dumbass twindisk clutch on it, found out they use a.mega stiff pressure plate so the weakest part was found.

I got rid of the twindisk for a much less aggressive clutch with a really nice pedal stiffness
