Yeah, the lacquer stuff gets tacky pretty fast but it shrinks a lot and it takes several days to really dry.

But... It's also easy to work with because a little rubbing alcohol takes it right off; I usually use a q-tip dipped in alcohol to get it mostly even with the surface once it's dried, and then just a little rubbing compound to blend it in. Hopefully I can find a way to do that with the water-base stuff.

Here's a thought... Maybe water takes it off? :ugh:

even worse are dog owners that walk their dogs in the park allowing them to pee near the sidewalk making a puddle with pee crossing the sidewalk. kids ride their scooters and bikes over that. :shakes head:

this is why when it floods i mentioned to davey that water is filled with dog poop and pee... :ugh2:

I pretty much utilize launch control at every light. Why not.

The car has some mad turbo lag down low, but when the boost hits it pulls decent for a 2.0T. Also handles pretty decent for being FWD.

random kids leaving their bicycles and toys outside on their yard, random kids drawing with chalk on sidewalks, people taking out trash on days they aren't supposed to, or not pulling back their trash bins after pickup, illegal parking over sidewalks, stupid dog owners allowing their dogs to dig holes messing up the lawns, etc etc



You should start a petition to get the fine waved and all that other crap fixed or pay the fine and get elected to be on the HOA board to stop that crap.

I once found a squeezer in my mail box that I am 99.99999% sure it was the fat kid next door but im not 100% certain. So I just always keep a look out. I have not resorted to purchasing a video system, our neighborhood is pretty safe with 2 town cops, and 1 state trooper.

kenchan 09-01-2015 11:51 AM

k, so after the little bitching, hoa said they will take another look at my house. they claim they may have looked at the wrong house.

u f-king old folks can't even tell which house u looked at? :mad:

dat sucks. i had people throw nails on my driveway a while back, people leaving dog crap on my driveway, etc. so much hate towards asians. yah that's right, it's 150% RACIST motivated!! :mad: :rofl2: ;)

kenchan 09-01-2015 12:00 PM

i had a kid about maybe 12 that kept stealing my metal valve caps off my dd, another younger kid that left a bag of rocks on my yard for no reason, middle aged fat woman leaving her dog crap on my lawn, etc.

all caught on ip camera. next time i saw them, i interrogated them pointing at the cameras. they always deny doing it or try to smooth it out as if they innocently 'forgot' they left the poop, etc. :shakes head:

regardless, very quickly resolved all issues i had with my dumbf- neighbors down the street.

Me: I.T. This is Mike

Girl: My computer is dark, help?

Me: You mean your screen?

Girl: Yes. The sounds still play when I click with the mouse, but the screen is black.

Me: Is the monitor turned on?

Girl: What do you mwan? The computer is on, so the monitor MUST be on.

Me: Ummm....no. Find the power button on the monitor and press it.

Girl: I see a red light, but that's it.

Me: Power button will be right next to it.

Girl: You mean the button that has a circle on it? It works!! Thanks I.T. guy. You're smart.

I hate people...

lol, the kid was silent for a few moments until i yelled at him to ANSWER! :mad: why did you think it was okay to steal my valve caps?!! :mad:

kid cried and said sorry, brought back the 4 caps but said he gave away the other 4. he asked not to tell his dad or cops (i almost lol'ed), so i told him this is strike 2 for you.

Sigh.

Just got a call from the dealership where I traded the Z. It's been sold twice now. :'(

They all of a sudden don't have the wheel lock key so they were calling to see if I still had it.

kenchan 09-01-2015 04:37 PM
