I meant, don't get your wheel alignment done at Pep Boys.

And I would strongly recommend getting one done after putting on a new set of tires.

If your tires are running out of sync, it’s likely that the tread on one side of the car will wear faster than the other side.

Cheap tires aren’t worth the cost of an alignment unless you can feel the car pulling. And it was aligned earlier this year after a fender bender anyway.

I bought a new set on Saturday. I was going to take it to the guys I normally take it to for the alignment, but they were booked until Monday.

Took it to Pep Boys afterwards. I’ve been a pretty unhappy driver since Sunday.

You could go to someplace like a Pep Boys and the morning and get great work done. You could go later that day and get shitty work done. Shops are too big with too much turnover. Better off going to an independent place…I know some who will work on weekends, especially before noon.

I once had this girlfriend who had an obsession with Jamba Juice.

We went there once and then I took her to work. When she was getting out of the car, she dropped her Jamba Juice cup and it flipped over in midair to land upside down. The ground pushed the straw through the bottom of the styrofoam cup. So here on the ground was an upside-down Jamba Juice cup with some smoothie spilled around it and a straw sticking up out of the bottom. She said, “I’m so sad right now!” but it took everything I had to keep from busting up laughing.

by DerekSTheRed on Nov 7, 2008 9:38 AM CST up reply actions  

Well...

TCU came out and punched the Utes in the mouth. They had 200 yards of offense in the first quarter and were up 10-0. Then the Ute defense adjusted and only gave up 200 yards the rest off the game (including 6 in the 2nd quarter). TCU’s frosh kicker missed 2 FG’s in the 4th that were huge (one hit the upright). The Ute D had 2 huge sacks on 3rd down that took TCU out of FG range both times. Very costly.

The Utes had a hard time moving the ball all night. TCU’s D is as good and fast as advertised. Plus the Utes had some really bad play calling on offense (swing passes against a fast D, reverses, halfback pass on 3rd and 1?). Our QB is just clutch. He did the same thing against Oregon State to win the game. He has ice in his veins and when he got to call the plays with 2 minutes left in the hurry up he just marched the team down the field for the TD. BJ is just amazing with the game on the line.

I feel very fortunate that we got out of that game with a win. The atmosphere and crowd was electric. When the TD was scored we went absolutely ape-shit. Just a great defensive battle. Great game. Exactly what I though it would be.

Call of Duty 4 (Modern Warfare) absolutely rules; came out a year ago. The new Call of Duty game, which would be No. 5 in sequential order, but which is named Call of Duty: World at War is not out yet.

Personally, the Treytarch developed Call of Duty 3 kind of sucked, and wore out the World War II welcome, in my mind…especially with how good COD4: Modern Warfare was. Why they took it back to WWII is beyond my ability to understand. I’ll wait for the next Infinity Ward COD game.

But, let me re-emphasize. If you think Fallout 3 plays like a shooter (like I did, which is why I bought it), it does not. It is essentially turn-based, RPG BS. I cannot overstate this, but Fallout 3 – do not want.

cod4

is going down as one of my alltime favorite games.
the cod; world at war demo has been pretty good, they took elements from cod4 and previous cod games.

and besides the lead character in the single player game is voiced by keifer sutherland, so how can it not rule?

on fallout, it always was an rpg turn based game, not sure how 3 would be different

Fallout

Fallout 1 and 2 were overhead, generic RPGs. Fallout 3 was a new studio, they made, what they touted as a FPS/RPG mixture. I’m thinking Mass Effect, but FPS instead of third person. Instead, it is a game which you can technically play as a FPS, but you will die. Oh yes, you will die often. The only way to succeed is to use their turn based system. I felt extremely deceived from how they touted it to the cold harsh RPG reality of this game.

But, long story short, Fallout 3 is absolutely nothing like 1 or 2.

Anybody play CS:Source? Day of defeat:source? I used to play DOD a ton and it was a pretty sweet WWII game. I don’t like the source version of it because they changed it too much. The nades are all whacked out and the graphics have lost their touch with the scenes, imo.

In either case, I’m on steam and would be willing to play with other LSB’ers in COD, DOD, CS, w/e. I’ll even pwn dirkatron in Diablo II if I have to go old school.

From my limited understanding of the COD franchise, they have two different development houses working on alternating games. The makers of World of War were working on it way before COD4 even came out and became a huge success. I would bet in the future most of the COD franchise will be closely related to COD4.
