So afterwords I heard some scraping when moving forward, and periodic when braking.
Got out. Jacked the car up. Spun the tire by hand. No noise.
But it wobbled.
Oops, I forgot to torque the lug nuts down.
I hit with an impact wrench, as many mechanics do, but that can leave them loose.
Drive it like that and your tire will come off.
Always double check the lug nuts after service.
I had new tires installed a year ago - and this upper end shop I took it to didn't tighten the tire's lug nuts all the way.
I suppose you can drive it until the wheel comes off.
Get into a wreck and then sue them.
Maybe some people hope for that.
Not me tho.
Seems my repair was a success.
Busted my knuckles a few times slipping off high torque fastener and slamming into metal :D
I guess that would be like punching metal objects
I just spent $50 for a $5 piece of hardware.
I give it 50/50 that my car runs without issues.
Front main seal is a serious repair.
I had to pay someone to get the timing belt on.
I could do all the work except put the belt on the last pulley.
Cause I'm too weak to stretch a thick ass belt.
Looks like same thing with the accessory belt.
I cleaned it up real good tho!
That seal holds in the car's blood so it's gotta be installed about perfect, flush and evenly seated all around.
I had to do some engine maintanance. Big one.
You see that black thingy on the left wedged against that block of wood?
That's blocking the engine from being moved so I can put the engine mount back on.
Cause that block of wood isn't seated correctly on that black thingy on the right.
That's super sweet.
Super dirty too.
I'm nice to anyone who I believe is actually making a real effort to be a decent person no matter who it is.
I don't play waste of time games.
Life too short for that.
World would've been a much better place if everyone gave just a little.
Always feeling sick. Just like how anyone would feel just before coming with something.
But I feel that way all the time. For a long time now.
Probably bad news for me.
Life too short to fuck around.
YOu can't be there for everyone all the time,
But you can be there once in awhile.
Put a smile on someone.
Make life pleasant for a little bit.
It goes very far.
Why that has always been such a big problem is beyond me.
No change since last year. No change the year before that even.
Consider how things would be if you returned the tiniest bit of effort to respond to me or to reach back out to me.
My email wasn't secret.
Cause I certainly made that effort so many times.
No change. Always was the same.
Fun at my expense was all it really was.
It was all a pretend game.
When it gets real, you got people putting the blocks on.
Life too short for that shit.
Even if you thought it would've been different...
Why would you put me at risk again if you truly cared for me?
It was all nothing. All for nothing.
And you risk another nothing or just as bad- completely ruined time?
And I'm the only one you treated that way.
You literally make me sick.
All for nothing, risk another nothing to satisfy someone else for the 100000th time.
Way to make someone feel like a nothing.
You still haven't figured out how to put yourself in others shoes. That makes you a shit leader.

Applies to ANY kind of relationship. From business to senile neighbor.
Best thing to stick with the one you want to be around instead of playing pretend to other people.
It isn't fair to the other people.
That's simply a fact years worth of your actions has shown.
Easy for you. You simply perform the same actions you've been doing all of these years.
That includes spending heaps of time together and heaps of time actually talking together.
Which was never anything you gave me, not even a little bit.
So your pretend game with words stopped working last year :)
"For who not needs shall never lack a friend,
And who in want a hollow friend doth try,
Directly seasons him his enemy."
— William Shakespeare, Hamlet, Act III, Scene 2.
"Adversity exposes the difference between genuine friendship and friendship that exists only when it's convenient."
Thank you for showing me. But we will never meet. Not anymore.
No more ghosting.
No more pretending.
No more lies.
No more ignoring my calls and texts.
No more getting the cops called on me for trying to connect.
No more of your friends belittling me for trying to connect.
No more going with someone else while leaving me on my own the whole time.
Those were acts.
6 years of those acts.
My new girl doesn't do that to me because she is real and you are not.
Actions speak louder than words.
I don't need words.
For the past 3 years you showed me with your own actions.
Not real. No problem.
I put it all into my new gf.
" 'Cause it's easy to tell me you love me Easy to say you're thinking of me
Words are so easy to say
Actions speak louder than words "
"For who not needs shall never lack a friend,
And who in want a hollow friend doth try,
Directly seasons him his enemy."
— William Shakespeare, Hamlet, Act III, Scene 2.
"I never thought they would ever deceive me
Don't you know when times got rough
I was standing on my own
I'll never let another get that close to me
You see, I've grown a lot smarter now
Sometimes you have to choose and then you'll see
If your friend is true, they'll be there with you
Through the thick and thin"

Remember when your partner pretended to offer me help all those times but wouldn't even respond to me?
This was blatantly another attempt from you to humiliate me, just like you've always done.
That's exactly the kind of help you can expect from us.
I watched what you accepted from him, and now I'm applying those lessons with my gf.
Obviously they feel superior, and that any effort for me to interact would be futile.
I think you simply love the humiliation... and then reward them with sex!
It is absolutely marvelous to finally be welcomed into a family and given an opportunity to build relationships.
AND FREE! of your authentic toxicity and efforts to humiliate me.
Took my gf to FL with the kids.
Her friend who lives in the area tried to connect, but I told her just to 'let him fuck off.'
She said 'That's hot.'
I learned quite a few things about what women like from you!
Y'know, can't be letting someone else catch up with my gf.
Wherever she goes I go.
If you want to talk to me, you have to go thru her.
Don't expect anything to get thru though LOL.
If you want to see me... Well, she'll be be my side the whole time dictating the whole show.
She told me she wanted to coach you. But we all know she'd simply ignore and ghost you.
I guess if you want to find innovative and challenging ways to speak to her you could, but the result will always be the same: ignored, ghosted, blacklisted, etc.
Her kids are still young.
It's wonderful to get to know them a little before they get older.
I'm so happy someone gave me the opportunity.
