WOOT i think i got good news on my auto claim about the totaled car. looks like they are in the works of processing it and giving us the check. i see some mail and im pretty sure it is related to the claim. now hopefully my dad actually opens it up and does it ASAP so we can get a new car going. i dont think i said this already but he has been car shopping and decided to get a cheap car idk if used or just older model but like a v4 so it isn't very powerful but also not extremely expensive either. he told me they are going to give him $15k for the car and we owe $6k so were getting back around $8k maybe at least. which he would put down on the new car.

im then just going to use it but it won't be my car technically so im just going to save up and buy my own in the future. im looking at buying like a dodge charger or an SUV though something with more room and so i can see over our fence because with small cars it is dangerous just to leave my house on the busy street tons of cars don't give me a chance to get in. other then that im just slowly saving up going to take me a while though cause of bills but trying to bring down my monthly payments as low as i can so i wont be buying my car for at least 2-3 years.

get paid this sunday and im looking at getting into the credit union my sister wants me to get into because my bank only offers AE credit cards which most companies won't even take i believe. either deciding on a new car or getting my actual motorcycle license and buying a motorcycle. only one school i can go to to get my license though and the way the classes are setup is a huge inconvience on my work schedule.

If they call it this, they are stupid and I wouldn't buy from them.
lol idk much about cars or motorcycles idk where i saw it from i have to go look again because lately i been looking at motorcycles as well might of confused the terms. always wanted motorcycles thats why but taking the classes is a pain in the ass for me unless i can get weekends off of work which is impossible.

i am just like window shopping to get an idea of how much to save up for the cars i am interested in purchasing later down the line but yea i think they call um v4's i'll go try look at some right now XD

UPDATE- i lied they call em 4 cylinders lmfao. i could of just called um v4's cause it went by v6 v8 etc.. so i was thinking 4 cylinders = v4 right? lmfao

Got my truck today! Woot woot! The dealer at the truck from last week tried to pull a fast one or something. It was advertised as "certified" then when we were ready to sign the papers he was like "oh we put an aftermarket lift on it, so it's actually no longer certified". So we said fuck you and found this one elsewhere. It's fucking pimp. Think the only thing it can't do is blow me.

From Wiki.

One of the earliest V4 internal combustion engines was that designed by Émile Mors of Paris to power his motor-car of 1897. The 90 degree V-angle with central camshaft and spark ignition meant its layout is much like more modern engines, though in this case the inlet valves were operated by suction alone. At the time the lack of vibration from this layout was a key selling point.[3]

In 1907, J. Walter Christie was the first American to compete in the French GP with his car powered by a 19,891 cc (1,214 cu in) V4, the largest engine ever used in a Grand Prix race.[4] The engine was mounted transversely in the front and drove the front wheels. The power was stated as 100 hp, but probably was more. On May 25th 1904 he set a speed record of 164 km/h.[5]

The V4 engine has not been widely used in cars. AMC, Ford, Lancia, and ZAZ were the only companies to manufacture such an engine.[6]

Lancia produced several narrow-angle V4 engines from the early 1920[7] through the 1960s for cars like the Lambda, Augusta, Artena, Aprilia, Ardea, Appia, and Fulvia.

From 1960 to 1963, American Motors Corporation (AMC) produced a 108 cu in (1.8 L) air-cooled V4 engine that was used in AMC's lightweight aluminium-bodied M422 'Mighty Mite' military vehicle, as an air transportable (by the helicopters of the time) Jeep for the United States Marine Corps.[8][9] This engine was not designed for civilian passenger car use.

Ford of Europe produced two totally different V4 engines (with four crankpins) and a balance shaft, one in the UK and one in Germany:

The Ukrainian manufacturer ZAZ used an air-cooled V4 with a balance shaft, produced by MeMZ and used in Zaporozhets and LuAZ cars.[15]

In 2014, Porsche announced that their 919 Hybrid Le Mans Prototype would use a small-capacity, turbocharged V4 engine.[16]
There was also a mid-engined Mustang concept car with a 1.5-liter V4 amidships.

i just go to a fresh water bait shop for nightcrawlers, don't use them for fishing but i do use them for my soils
You ever try collecting worms in your yard? There's a few simple ways to do it, it can just take awhile to get a good sized colony going.
I bought worms from this place a while back. Relatively cheap compared to buying them at the bait shop and were nice and plump. Lasted quite a while in a homemade bin but I used them for fishing instead of the garden.

My firefox updated last night and all of the sudden no add ons worked. Not one. I tried to download replacement add ons, and it won't let me do that, either. The forums are ablaze with hate for Mozilla right now, it seems a high percentage of users are effected by this fuck up. The add on I miss the most is my adblocker. This site is cluttered and ugly with all the ads. I know they keep the lights on, but yuck...
