Got my new phone S3 yesterday and it's pretty sweet. I have been used to my iphone for so long and didn't know if I'd like the bigger size screen of this phone but after like 10min its awesome. More importantly I switched phone companies and I knew this one has really bad reception since they use a different frequency but it works in my house great. They say it doesn't work in the basement a lot so they don't guarantee it will work and my basement is pretty bad for signal however it seems to work great so far.

Congrats, I'm sure you will enjoy it ;)
 
Replacing the clutch lever on our mid 70s Yamaha TY250 trials bike, and then proceeding to rip around the yard like a header at 8 at night in the pitch black, with only a flashlight taped to the helmet to light the way. : D

Sick too. The first day you feel healthy again is great. Like someone just released you from prison and the world is yours for the taking.

lol ya really. I couldn't eat all for 4 days and was hungry as **** obviously. The first meal I ate was like the best thing ever lol.
 
Woooooooo ordered a case from some sketchy China people on ebay and it has been almost 45days waiting and it finally showed! It's more beautiful than I could of ever imagined and I got it for half the price of all the others sold.
 
Got a new one, playing some savory licks on the guitar just perfect, without error. Makes you feel like a rock star.
 
The fact that tomorrow I am going to the NAIAS and will get to see fantastic new cars such as the Viper, Corvette, and I think Sebastian Vettel's car will be there like last year! Plus I get to go with my best friend.
 
Isn't that bad? Therefore it wouldn't oil your gears?

Maybe it oils his gears because it means he actually does something productive for awhile instead of playing Playstation. :P

Mine are oiled because I have Monday off, but today, 7 hours of drum line.

WOOOOO! Sounds fun.

What oils my gears, realizing that over the last year I actually have gotten smarter... I didn't think I did, which is the normal case because no one simply notices that they are smarter) but upon reading some of my old posts in the old What Grinds your Gears thread, I realized that now I piece my words together in a much more readable way. Back then I'd occasionally say something so stupid and impossible to understand, even I can't read it.

He said "grrr" which is often used when angry. Also, it was very fun.

Also, gears are oiled for the fact I will be with my cousin for the next 2 days.
 
I have finally got updated on all GT5 content. I loooove the HSV-010.
 
What oils my gears is that my father is looking forward to building up a project truck as well as our current truck with me. Was informed of this Saturday with the biiggest grin/smile on his face and overwhelming excitement =P
 
91st on a Forza 4 Rivals event, and there is room to get that down to the top 50. :D

Edit: Wooo! 85th now.

Edit: Oh my god, 29th. I never thought that I could ever get that high on a Forza leaderboard. So happy!

I like finding the X2011-hoggers and teaching them less frowned-upon practices. Like yesterday I taught one the art of drifting and they thoroughly enjoyed it :)

Only a couple of thousand to go :lol:
 
Congratulations!!! I know I've appreciated your garage since I discovered it a couple years ago. Thank you.
 
I'm rather happy right now as our holiday this year is going to be great. I am a Carspotter and am highly interested in experiencing and filming high performance and rare cars to a decent level of quality. I cannot drive myself yet, so I can't get down to the UK's Supercar capital - London. However, I do make the most of the amazing cars up North but this Summer is going to be more than just hanging around Alderley Edge.

I am heading down to Modena first to visit Ferrari and Pagani. I plan to hopefully get some footage of the Huayra and the LaFerrari at some point, provided such cars are there. But thats only the start of it, I am spending a week or so in Monaco, the Supercar capital of the world. When I went in December, there was an MC12, Enzo, 599 GTO, you name it, I saw it. The video from the previous trip is doing pretty good in terms of views so far too. In summer I bet its going to be great down there. Monaco and Cannes has a very positive vibe and an immense collection of Supercars.

Should be fun :)
