Rep Power: 0 a little update, my and my sis' bf spent the night musceling parts into place, new cross member is all bolted up, tie rods bolted up, rear engine mounts bolted up, ball joints bolted up, control arms bolted up, front to rear cross member is bolted up. You might ask whats left? i lost a nut for the front engine mount... thats about it, i lose EVERYTHING and it makes me angry i lost my flash light while it was turned on and it was dark out... who does that? Need a new nut and some new bolts for my exhaust so their all the same size and its back on the road woohoo.

Rep Power: 291 Rant
For anyone who has the pleasure of driving in rush hour traffic
I HATE PEOPLE WHO
Are in a fooking rush to get home so they hurry into a cluttered intersection (Riverside/Vanier Pkwy) and clog it up and get stuck in the middle of the intersection so the lanes that HAVE the green cannot go anywhere. Not only did this happen to me once on my way back from St. Laurent, but TWICE at the same light to turn left! My bloodpreasure went through the roof. Sheena and myself saw some guy blow the red light (the lane that goes into Hurdman Station bus terminal) and cut left to turn onto Riverside (we had the red to turn left also, the light was turning green for the through traffic (North/South) I couldn't believe it! How can these people actually have licences?! Then to turn into our apartment it was backed up hardcore bumper to bumper so I cramed myself into the intersection between the stopped cars and wedged my way into our street. (I actually made it through but the guy who was to my left wouldn't move up even though he has like a full cars length ahead of him ... you know to actually give me room to sqeeze by, so I laid on the horn at him and he didn't even look. What a f00king moron. Anyways if I had waited, no one would have let us go by.
So thats my rant. I hate driving in traffic, I hate dumb *** idiots who clog up intersections and idiots who block turning lanes. It's a good thing we're not allowed to carry guns in cars. Oh and there was not one cop to be seen anywhere.

Rep Power: 291 Guy words can't describe how pissed I was trying to turn onto Riverside from Industrial. I drove by the guy in the intersection and shot him the "look of death" I then proceeded to speed on down Riverside until Sheena yelled at me to slow down and calm down. I was fine until i saw the cluster**** infront of my street.

Rep Power: 0 i avoid ottawa during those hours, around my neck of the woods, a busy road has maybe 2 cars on it :P. How ever to get home from school i have to cross a bridge, traffic can get back up about 0.5~0.75km some nights, i hate the ******* who will turn right at the lights instead of using the merging lane, since its illegal and there a nice big signs up that say if you caught theres a 150$ fine. Thankfully there are usually cops there :P daily, they must hand out over 1000$ in tickets to people just turning. It's awesome.
