MFer!

Get back to the car and the half-wit landscaping contractors blasted it with grass clippings. It was along the sides, in the rims, tailgate destroyed, and the f*cking roof. Ironically, I had sent an email to the HQ's head SNCO about the matter this morning because my TBSS got smashed with grass a few weeks back. So it looks like I am about to submit an insurance claim for damages; and staying home on Mondays. Sh*tbirds were smirking at me when I left. I am pissed.

To add insult to injury the Schrader valve on my fuel rail cracked under the weight/vibration of the nitrous fuel solenoid. So now it really is parked until I feel like swapping fuel rails.

Just one of those days.

That's crap!!! I had a decently garbage Monday as well. Some genius(this guy lol) left the headlights on in my International all weekend, all 3 batteries were deader than a doornail! Not to mention my Mazda daily is leaking trans fluid all of a sudden which is no bueno!!! Yippee Monday!!!
Hope you get the wagon sorted out.

I swapped the fuel rails the other day but still had a job left to do. I needed to build a support brace for the nitrous system's fuel solenoid.

This is one of those ounce of prevention beats a pound of cure situations. Breaking the rail probably could have been avoided if I done this at the outset and not cut a corner.

Now I can drive it.

Was the car actually damaged or did they just get it dirty? Either way I would be and am pissed.

Its been backed into a corner for two weeks, I haven't had a really good chance to look at it. I would have pulled it out today for closer inspection but it has been alternating rain and sun every 30 minutes all day. I have been in contact with the company, but they now seem to be avoiding me. I wonder why?

Plus, I had to fight to repair my weed wacker... which is broken again.
