Mad as a Bear
I wish bad things to happen to the jack ass who stole my skateboard, bike and tools out of my garage. Eff you!

Chesapeake/Delaware Regions - NJMP - ThunderBolt PCA DE
I can't wait until October! I am signed up for a Drivers Education event at the brand new Thunderbolt Motor Park. The new track look sick. I have a feeling this is going to be money well spent!
Part Number: 902391 - Window Felt
Yesterday evening I decided I was going to install a new passenger side window felt. No, big deal right?
Eff that!
4 cuts on my arms/hands
2 metal splinters
2 stripped Alan Key bolts
6 hours
Tons of frustration
1 lost/recovered alan key
1 lost rod (the piece that attaches the interior door latch to the door release mechanism)
I don't really want to get into it, but dang was that a pain in the ass. I thought it was going to take 1.5-2 hours tops... but then all the crazy stuff started to happen. I was removing a bolt from the door on the hinge side when the alan key stripped the bolt, jumped out of my hand and some how fell through a quarter sized access hole. This hole did not open into the main cavity of the door, that would have been too easy, it fell in to a channel where the only way to get things out was to fish a magnet into the hole hoping that you could retrieve the missing item or do what I did. I removed the door from the car and shook the shit out of it until my wife could reach in with her little fingers and get it out.
I still had a striped bolt head. My neighbor Sean had an Easy Outs set, one word... effing lifesaver. I am going to by a set for myself. Got the bolt out in seconds.
After that, i had to pull out one more stripped bolt, no big deal. I have ordered Wurth Metric Hardware Kit, so I can have plenty of spares next time.
Oh wait next time is probably when the shipment comes. Since I lost that rod for the door handle. I have a funny feeling that it is stuck in the door somewhere... and it happened when i shook the door upside down. So I'll Have to take the door off again. If it is not there, I'll have to call a salvage yard to get the part. Ugh.
I do love working on the 911, as much stress as it brings it is a far better stress than work stress.
Eff that!
