If wheel wasnt balanced correctly, you would have noticed day one.

Some pictures I took today, car got washed in the morning and sat outside all day so it's pretty dusty but still looks alright in the pictures.

Went down to the old GM factory and got some pictures:

GM factory across the river

Such a rebel

Couldn't get any closer

sleepyalero · 05-25-2014, 08:09 PM

I wonder if there is any goodies left over in those old factories.

gudge · 05-25-2014, 08:14 PM

Idk. I really want to find a way into the factory and explore. It's so gigantic there's gotta be some cool areas inside. I went on a tour when it was open but I was really young so I don't remember much.

Yeah I know, but I'm thinking one might have come off. But probably not. Again, I'll take a better look tomorrow.

Man that would be so cool! I wish I could tour a gm factory, but sadly I live in selby South Dakota.

And just a quick future reference - I will probably be posting a crap ton of car pics in the next few days. I finally get the much awaited trip to Mitchell, so I can finally get tinted windows, rear disc brakes, quad exhaust, Cai, and probably a lot more. So don't freak out when the quiet kid starts talking as much as sleepy.

Well the GM factory doesn't seem that amazing anymore. When it closed it pretty much ruined this city. Thousands and thousands of jobs lost, and not just GM jobs. It affected every business in the city. It was a hard time and continues to be a hard time for this city. There wasn't anyone that wasn't affected, including my family (step-dad worked for Lear (GM's seat provider)). It was very sad going to the factory today. Seeing a huge abandoned factory like that (over 4 million square feet). Just knowing how many jobs were lost, and lives (Suicides spiked in 2008 when the factory shut down).

That is really sad. So many jobs lost. 4 million square feet holy ... Meanwhile my car is still down. Just lost all power driving down the road. Sucks that it happened on a holiday weekend.. While i was delivering food

Yea it is ridiculously huge
The area circled in red is all owned by GM. It includes all the buildings and parking lot. As you can see it takes up a decent chunk of the city.

I tried to tint my own windows and failed epically. I even had help from my grandpa, who still couldn't help me.

So I gave up and took it to the shop

We told you it would be a terrible experience

xUnderCoverHoBo · 05-28-2014, 08:10 AM

How would your grandpa know how to tint? Lol

It took over a half an hour just to do the small unmovable window on my rear door!

(I secretly thought we would end up taking it to the shop anyways)

xUnderCoverHoBo · 05-28-2014, 04:09 PM

so my car died a few days ago, lost all power going down the road. Battery is fine, tried starting it over the course of the next few days nothing. Signed up for AAA on saturday night waited out the 3 day grace period for roadside assistance, got it towed today. And it started up at the shop, they think its a dying fuel pump any thoughts? also how expensive of a fix would it be and how difficult to do myself?

sleepyalero · 05-28-2014, 05:10 PM

Easy to do your self. And a new ac delco pump off rockauto is 176$ for whole assembly.

ICM. Mine tested fine but once replaced rain like a champ.

sleepyalero · 05-29-2014, 07:29 AM

doesn't seem to be a terrible foam gun, if anything I would have got one from the chemical guys, I follow clarity Houston auto detailing on instagram and they use the chemical guys foam cannon and its just nothing but soap, a black car turns pure white
