Then I installed a valve in each pipe nipple, with a 90deg elbow on the end. With each new outside operator. We would tell them that they had to check the moisture content in each beam. They had to open the valve and drain out the water and measure how much water was at each beam. We even had a spread sheet for it. What they didn't know. The senior operator on the shift before would go around and turn the 90deg elbow up. Open the valve and fill up the pipe nipple. Once full. Close the valve and turn the elbow back down. Some took weeks to catch on. The operations manager knew about it, and never said anything about it. It was a way for us to tell who would make it and who wouldn't.

One of the best was telling new guys they need to take an exhaust sample. They'd go to whatever vehicle and hold a plastic trash bag and fill it with exhaust..lol.. even funnier when that vehicle was an M1 tank... no exhaust pipe, but a big grill. They'd swipe at the air behind the tank trying to capture exhaust

So true.

With the random, sometimes all week showers here, it’s hard to even wash the Z. Let alone this heat.

Yea, I couldn't believe it. I didn't notice them missing until I was in the line to have my tech inspection for that days track session. It was not a good day as I didn't get to run because my car was too loud.

So... I picked up a miata last weekend as a temp replacement for the Z, then as a pure fun car once its back. And well, the previous owner is a tool. This car is such a hack-job its ridiculous. Im gonna photo dump, because i know a lot of you will get a kick out of what some people do and its sooooo sad.

2000 NB1, and the whole thing is held together with probably a gallon of RTV, and stuff is so ghetto rigged its scary. The worst was the crank gear key, was just a shaved down piece of metal to "Fit". And everything is 10x harder to pull off because instead of gasket material they just slathered it in RTV.
