Add you rant here. It's time.

Okay, today's rant is brought to you by A1's in cabby's clothing. SO ...the
charging issues continue because I STILL can't get the fucking alternator
off. So it needs an exhaust, haul it to the local guy that does my work
(he's good, an Audi guy). And ask him if he can get the bolt out of the
alternator for me. No prob says he. Come back, exhaust's done, and he's
getting to the bolt. Torches, pounding in Torx bits,and all that, no dice.
This is a guy who does this for a living. Gonna be a longer deal, like a
few hours. I drive home, bolt still in place, the car gently charging* at
an even 12V. The new plan? Beat the sucker with a cold chisel of BFH till
that housing shatters into a billion pieces, then form the fucking bolt
into a new nose ring. Or something giving as much pleasure. Plan B? Back
the car over a cliff, with ballast in the trunk. Adam wants the front end.
Oh, the catalyst's dead too. And when does it ETest? Oh, sometime before
the end of THIS month. Beeyooteeful. The daughter's SO easy going about it.
NOT.
SO Sciroccos. Yeah, my MkI. It's landlocked behind the bug. Which has been
up in the air for two weeks. Why? because I'm too lazy to put it down, and
I'm in the middle of installing a skidplate. Which came with one less
rivnut than it should have. Call the company, they're real nice, yeah we'll
send it out right away. By fucking Canada Post. Eight days to get here,
package has a fist sized hole torn in it. Perfect. Luckily the rivnut was
wedged up in a corner of the envelope. That was today. Sounds perfect eh? I
really need to drive in something VWish other than one with the potential
to die. you know?
Later eh?

Test drive. I am now a slave to the disease. (RoccoPhil)



*yeah, 12V is actually DIScharging...
