Alright, you are back with me in the boil and I'm quitting alcohol. So the dream team were back together today, me and Jorge Leboial and Jorge Hala. We just ran it back, fuckin flip the car around, got to the back breaks because Jorge fuckin said they were low. So he rolls over at like 830 this morning, he bought the fuckin' rotors, he bought the fuckin' the pads. I trust him. He's a very honest man, Jorge, as if he would fuck over a blood brother anyway. So he bought them $133, it was actually cheaper than I would have bought it from rock

auto. So that was good. And then we pull off these fuckin' rear breaks and they were an absolute fuckin' mess. The brake pads on all four wheels were all fuckin' down to metal across the board. I wanted them half the fuckin' pad bed had broken off. I don't know how the fuck I was breaking, but we got them changed and now the cars feeling good, it's gone from 20 miles per gallon down to 16 though. I don't know what the fuck is going on there. I've done everything to figure it out. I checked the airflow fuckin' sensor. I've changed over the fuckin' spark plugs. I've got new brakes, new tires, they're all pumped up. Air filters fuckin' sorted. Can't figure it out for the life of me, not that I know anything about cars.

But also she's running nice. She's running good now. It's taken a little bit of work, but I think she's got another fuckin' hundy and tan in there easy. I've put almost 30,000 miles on this car in fuckin' how long? Well, you got to subtract the pretty much fuckin' two months I was away. Plus, we've been away a couple of times where the cars just been sitting there doing nothing. So it's a lot of fuckin' driving. But now I know how to change the fuckin' roaders and the brakes. The roaders won't need changein' for quite a while. And if it's just a brake pad issue, I can fuckin' sort that out. I can sort that out now fuckin' butter-bing, butter-fuckin' boom. I just wanna fix some more shit now. I just wanna get out there and start fuckin' a no-pullin' shit apart, putting it back together.

There's some handy fuckin' men in the fuckin' comments of the Spotify as well. Juzzy fuckin' Ben Scota, the mad welder from fuckin' Southern California. He's always chiming in. I actually sent him a message the other day gone fuckin'. I need a new car. Not a new car. I just need a fuckin' second car. So, well, so I'm not putin' 30,000 fuckin' miles on this car every year, but also it will free everything up. And he suggested, what did he suggest to fuckin' Toyota Highlander or a four runner? He was sayin' if you can get a low mile one fuckin' late 90s early 2000s, she'll run forever and I ran that past my wife and like, how old can you go before it's too embarrassing for you? Because I don't give a fuck. I will drive anything as long as I can fix it myself and it's relatively cheap.

I don't care how fuckin' old it is. And she's like, I'm not driving a 30 year old car. And I'm like, are you sayin' that because like, it's embarrassing? She's like, no, it's like the mechanics of it and all that. I don't wanna like it and I don't care what you say. It's a, I'm like, you don't know anything about cars. What do you mean the mechanics of it? You saw what happened to the hybrid we fuckin' hired. So maybe I won't go as far back as 1998, although I saw some sweet, sweet, camera-y. I think it's getting a little bit hard to find parts for fuckin' Toyota's 1998. So I think I'll be lookin' like 2010, 2012. 2012 seems to be about the cutoff date before things started getting shit with cars. Mines 2015.

That seems to be running alright as well. You've also got Lexus as well, but some of these, the ones that are renowned for lasting forever, they're fuckin' expensive. I'm gonna have to go Facebook Marketplace, I think. And then I'm gonna have to fuckin' the dream team are gonna have to get back together and go car hunting. Me and Jorge, I'll fuckin' take them out with me and he can inspect the cars for me. Take a look at this Jorge. He also said he'll find me a job with some Mexican guys he knows as well. People are always trying to get me jobs and I'm always like, yeah, yeah I'll see you friend. Anyway, fuckin' I'm happier than I was fuckin' a couple of weeks ago when I first got back here and it felt like the brakes had rusted shut.

Well this is only like four days ago and I was grinding to a halt every fuckin' red light. Anyway, fuckin' that'll do for tonight and I'll see you the fuck later.
