Psssh. Maybe for some of the OLD, OUTDATED models bro. As for me, in between my hydromatic flanger recalibrations, and having to qualm my Penenzar every few weeks, I'm loaded with repair work.

It's also 40 F outside and raining with a 30-50MPH wind.
I am all the wet.
So I am still awake, it's almost 2am est on Sunday. I've been up since 8am Friday.
Pictures and video to follow...

After a full day of nothing but standing in the blistering rain during our service, we managed to bend three wheels (all repairable with a hammer) and then bent a fender into a wheel, also hammer duty.
When driving back to our hotel, at three am after the first day of races, we lost steering of our car. We made it back to the hotel and drove in through the outdoor of a neighbouring automatic car wash. We lost a control arm bolt. We were able to rig up a replacement two hours before the start time for the next day. No sleep, at all.
During the next day, we bent another three rims and rolled the car, blowing out the windshield and rear passenger corner.
Within the thirty-minute service, we were able to source a spare windshield from another competitor and literary had everyone there bring a roll duct tape to help us tape it in. It was insane.
It is now 42 hours later, and I am just now getting into bed.
EDIT: Oh yeah, 45 cars started on Friday morning. 17 cars made it to finish, we were no 16, despite rolling into a stream after hitting a three foot jump that was marked as a 'bump' in the route notes....
man that shit sounds like it sucks.
hek, please tell me you have a flipcam or something similar mounted in a fore-facing view.
I've spent 1000 hours playing tf2. That's 42 days.
I could've done away with like 900 of those hours.

Imagine how many more hours were spent thinking about TF2 and how shitty it is.

I assume you're the team mechanic, but I thought that you drove too. ?
Good luck getting the car ready again for the next one! Maybe its time for some new (better?) wheels?
Also, girl problems. Girl living on my floor shares a bunch of interests with me but it looks kinda like another dude I know stepped in before I did.

Danica Patrick was saying that drivers were getting way too aggressive way too quickly. The crash happened only 12 laps into the race. She was saying that the track wasn't really well suited to the speeds they were going.
8 hours of transferring files from my old computer to my new one this weekend, only to find out today that Fallout 3 is now officially borked beyond repair, so now I need to redownload and remake all of my mods and mod resources.

Man Laws only apply when the guy is a friend of yours. Hit on her anyways.
