Rear Wheel Removal Tip

It is very funny that my work address sounds to my suppliers like 'I love you, transportation, good fortune, peaceful road'. But California sounds like silly gibberish because of the R and L.

I had a Subaru GL 1800 wagon (a 1983 model I think?).
It was plain and ugly, but I had good luck with it, and it was big enough to sleep in the back with the seats folded down.

My first car was a 1984 Mazda GLC sedan like this,..

It was a typical "Econo Box" car from that era.
I drove the living snot out of it delivering pizza for Domino's with it for more than 5 years.
I replaced the clutch three times, and would only get 40,000 km on a clutch.
I remember wearing out my Tiger Paw tires, and put on a set of used Michelin tires.

The Michelin tires were a high mileage hard rubber tire, and I was doing burnouts at every stoplight and sign for two weeks until I got used to them.

The biggest problem with all my different vehicles was rust.
They all ended up dead from rusting out.
I could never afford a new car, and just tried to keep my rusty junkers going.

Michelin High Milers got the best wear of any tire we tried on the Original DFW Airport Train (Originally called Airtrans). Firestone absolutely the worst and only got 10-19K miles on them. Very soft rubber and did not work well on my sons first car in 2001 that came on them. The best thing we ever did was to go to Discount Tire and get a road hazzard warranty on them and they were replaced 2 or 3 times. We also used Michelin’s and Continental’s on wife‘s Honda Accord of which both were good tires.

My street address is 921.
In Chinese, the number 921 is
九百二十一 (jiǔ bǎi èr shí yī) for the actual number, but in internet slang (Chinese internet slang/number codes), 921 (jiǔ èr yī) sounds like "I only love you" (只爱你 - zhǐ ài nǐ) or "I love you".

Are you Chinese or just speak Mandarin?

Nope, I just happen to live in the San Francisco Bay Area. It is like if you lived in Cajun country, you would pick up some old timey Canadian French culture. Also, I used AI and took Anthro.

We had the Ellis Island of the West called Angel Island. It is the immigration station where Chinese were held during a period of racism.

My wife’s mother grew up in the Bayou‘s of Southern Louisiana. Her mother’s mother was French with the last name Breaux. Sometimes her mother would come out with French sayings I guess she picked up from her mother.

Cajun is short for Canadian. The French took to the rivers and went all the way down stream. Bleu Breaux.
