ROFLMAO, I think that's what I sound like to my GF and mother when I talk about cars
-
My proudest part of Frankn7 is probably the engine mount crossmember or the transmission mount bracket. Both of which are buried deep below the visible parts of the car, but I know they're there in all of their dimple died glory

What about the red and aluminum one we saw at cars and coffee last summer in Potomac?

:laughing: That's exactly what I was thinking! However, I would LOVE to have one of these! Totally badass! I've often wondered if something like this existed.

Mazda, make sure you leave the keys to the 7 when you go on vacation

How A $500 Craigslist Car Beat $400K Rally Racers
Arya Ebrahimi replied to TheDingo8MyBaby's topic in Off Topic
Awesome story! I LOLed several times -
I believe the dealer is at fault. I bet if you read the owners manual for that car(that is published by FORD), it will state to engage the parking brake before leaving the car. The FORD dealership failed to follow their own procedures which would have likely prevented this incident. Additionally, I believe that by using the remote start system, the burden of responsible use is on them. It's not like the remote start system shorted out and drove the car into the pond, the tech PUSHED THE BUTTON.

Now this is just funny and a good commercial
Arya Ebrahimi replied to MHKflyer52's topic in Off Topic
I didn't realize my comment would be taken quite so seriously, lighten up. I'm on at least half a dozen other forums, and they all commonly refer to California as Kalifornia or Commifornia. It wasn't meant as a personal attack, but if you can't see that California is significantly to the left of the rest of the states(well, except for maybe Massachusets ), well then I don't know what to say. California is a beautiful state and one that I would love to live in from a geographical and meteorological perspective, but not political. Anyway, I'll drop this now. This forum seriously needs a :flipoff2: smiley to indicate sarcasm -

I saw that commercial during the superbowl and maybe I'm just overly sensitive, but it really pissed me off. Seems a little too close to reality for my tastes and I don't even live in Commifornia! -
Nice work! Looks great!

He doesn't know it yet, but Mazda is just doing all this RC stuff so he can learn how to carve shapes in foam to better the 7

Me too, we must be geniuses

* (TO THE NON-PROFESSIONALS FROM THE PROFESSIONALS - ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW) **(and I had to learn it the hard way)** *DRILL PRESS:* A tall upright machine useful for suddenly snatching flat metal bar stock out of your hands so that it smacks you in the chest and flings your beer across the room, denting the freshly-painted vertical stabilizer which you had carefully set in the corner where nothing could get to it. *WIRE WHEEL:** * Cleans paint off bolts and then throws them somewhere under the workbench with the speed of light. Also removes fingerprints and hard-earned calluses from fingers in about the time it takes you to say, 'Oh shit...' *ELECTRIC HAND DRILL:* Normally used for spinning pop rivets in their holes until you die of old age. *SKILL SAW:* A portable cutting tool used to make studs too short. *PLIERS:* Used to round off bolt heads. Sometimes used in the creation of blood-blisters. *BELT SANDER:* An electric sanding tool commonly used to convert minor touch-up jobs into major refinishing jobs. *HACKSAW:* One of a family of cutting tools built on the Ouija board principle. It transforms human energy into a crooked, unpredictable motion, and the more you attempt to influence its course, the more dismal your future becomes. *VISE-GRIPS:* Generally used after pliers to completely round off bolt heads. If nothing else is available, they can also be used to transfer intense welding heat to the palm of your hand. *WELDING GLOVES:* Heavy duty leather gloves used to prolong the conduction of intense welding heat to the palm of your hand. *OXYACETYLENE TORCH:* Used almost entirely for lighting various flammable objects in your shop on fire. Also handy for igniting the grease inside the wheel hub out of which you want to remove a bearing race. *TABLE SAW:* A large stationary power tool commonly used to launch wood projectiles for testing wall integrity. *HYDRAULIC FLOOR JACK:* Used for lowering an automobile to the ground after you have installed your new brake shoes, trapping the jack handle firmly under the bumper. *EIGHT-FOOT LONG YELLOW PINE 2X4:* Used for levering an automobile upward off of a trapped hydraulic jack handle. *E-Z OUT BOLT AND STUD EXTRACTOR:* A tool ten times harder than any known drill bit that snaps neatly off in bolt holes thereby ending any possible future use. *BAND SAW:* A large stationary power saw primarily used by most shops to cut good aluminum sheet into smaller pieces that more easily fit into the trash can after you cut on the inside of the line instead of the outside edge. *TWO-TON ENGINE HOIST:* A tool for testing the maximum tensile strength of everything you forgot to disconnect. *CRAFTSMAN 1/2 x 24-INCH SCREWDRIVER:* A very large pry bar that inexplicably has an accurately machined screwdriver tip on the end opposite the handle. *AVIATION METAL SNIPS:* See hacksaw. *PHILLIPS SCREWDRIVER:* Normally used to stab the vacuum seals under lids or for opening old-style paper-and-tin oil cans and splashing oil on your shirt; but can also be used, as the name implies, to strip out Phillips screw heads. *STRAIGHT SCREWDRIVER:* A tool for opening paint cans. Sometimes used to convert common slotted screws into non-removable screws. *PRY BAR:* A tool used to crumple the metal surrounding that clip or bracket you needed to remove in order to replace a 50 cent part. *HOSE CUTTER:* A tool used to make hoses too short. *HAMMER:** * Originally employed as a weapon of war, the hammer nowadays is used as a kind of divining rod to locate the most expensive parts adjacent the object we are trying to hit. *MECHANIC'S KNIFE:* Used to open and slice through the contents of cardboard cartons delivered to your front door; works particularly well on contents such as seats, vinyl records, liquids in plastic bottles, collector magazines , refund checks, and rubber or plastic parts. Especially useful for slicing work clothes, but only while in use. *DAMMIT TOOL:* Any handy tool that you grab and throw across the garage while yelling 'DAMMIT! ' at the top of your lungs. It is also, most often, the next tool that you will need.

Sounds like a hint from above to put full coverage on the Yukon if you don't have it already
-
Picked up my first bike two weeks ago, an '04 DRZ 400. Took it out to Johnson Valley CA last week for the King of the Hammers offroad race. What a blast.
-
Funny thing is that's not the first time that Yukon has made contact with someone running along side Disclaimer, I was not driving it when the last incident occurred, but I was in the truck

Whichever aluminum jack Mazda(slngsht) has doesn't work very well on heavier vehicles. I literally have to stand on the handle to get it to lift either mine or my dad's Land Cruisers. My Duramax laughed at it

Tall w/clown feet: Caterham SV vs. Birkin?
Arya Ebrahimi replied to e043656's topic in General Sevens Discussion
You just described me to a T. The only solution for me to be able to drive Mazda's Rotus was to break out the sawzall and reconfigure the entire cockpit. It turned out to be more of an undertaking than either of us imagined, but in the end it was worth it(at least for me :leaving: ). -
I think that's the coolest camper setup I've ever seen! I love that you can drive forward with the camper in front of you for maneuvering/positioning. Pure genius! I wonder how many beetle roofs were compromised in the testing/use of that product :leaving:

Thermal dynamics, hypertherm, and esab seem to be the top brand for plasmas in my experience. Miller and Lincoln of course make decent units, but I've heard more than one person say buy a plasma cutter from a plasma cutter manufacturer and a welder from a welder manufacturer. With that said, I've never heard of anyone having trouble with any of the Miller/Lincoln units or the Hobarts for that matter. I think Hobart units of any type(plasma or welder) are fine for home use and have the national service backing/parts interchangeability of Miller. Stay away from the chinese crap unless you have a distributor IN your town that will service the warranty. Mazda spent who knows how much shipping his back and forth for service and it still doesn't work right. I've been spending a lot of time in a friends shop and he has a Thermal Dynamics hooked up to his CNC plasma table and a hypertherm hand torch and both seem to be problem free with daily use in a fab shop environment.

Does that seven looks like this: to anyone else? :rofl:

snook, had no idea you were a 7'er too! You might recognize my name from Pirate Small world!
