Default going crazy

I just wanted to whine a little it's been over a month since Ive had my bird out and Im still waiting for the rims. This entire weekend is going to be in the 70s and I can't do anything about it damn. I just wanted to see who all is still waiting on the winter changes to their cars so they can get em out too.

how bout this...

some dumbass hit me, so the car is in the shop...dropped her off 2 mondays ago (28 March). my ship went underway this past week, so i didnt miss her much. but were back now, and not leaving until the 18. and when we leave on the 18th, were not coming back until the 29th. i called the shop today, and apparantly they wont be done until the 19th or 20th...so that means i have to wait until the end of this month to get my car back. AND then, were going to be gone almost all of May too.

I know the feeling,I was off today and don't go back to work till Monday 60's-70's here too.My wife has to work all weekend,and we have a 14 month old.Between his naps today I installed a FTRA and managed to wash the car,no clay bar,no waxing.I have to change the plugs,fuel filter,oil change,and coolant flush.All between naps before I am ready for summer driving.I know I won't be driving this weekend.What can you do?Since I will someday be giving the car to my son,maybe I'll get his hands dirty under the hood and give him a wrench. Never to early to be a motorhead
