I'm 20. Going onto 21 in a few months.
Own my own condo (Only pay $350 a month for HOA fees, bought @ 29K, 850sq ft., not a town house!)
Own business, generate lazily about $5000 constant gross, minimum $2000 net after fees ($800 static monthly for lease/power/misc. Have been increasing lately.
Own 2 main personal use cars (06' Subaru Impreza STI, 94 Miata.) Both paid off, own outright.
Have 12K liquid in the bank, numerous deprecating assets.
I know I'm in no comparision to the elite 99% of you with golfstreams taken about on that daily ritual to get morning coffee in Columbia, then lunch in Italy while decidedly dining in London for the evening, 50 room mantions and that huge yot...
But.. I think I am in a great condition compared to most of the Gen Y/Z individuals.
You guys just wish you lived my life. I'm just to busy to fuck the filipino maids in each room of my mantion (lost count over 25), the yot in the dock out back has been neglected by me ever since I picked up a new golfstream (it is better thena G6 for you guys that were curious.) It's sad, 24 hours just isn't enough for a day anymore.
Wow, I don't know how to explain this.. I was just walking around and met my ex-brother in law. I was married to his sister for what seemed a few months. He's still doing what he did then, drug dealer. He gave me a free sample, of this newly approved FDA drug.
I fear I'm stuck in the old cycle, I'm doing nothing much really. I try to write, the biggest key is to stay inside but my mind wanders and before I notice I'm doing crap I shouldn't.
1. Valve cover, look down and timing belt is missing some of it's nubs?? Wrong, you would've removed the timing belt cover to inspect the timing belt; which would be positionated vertically due to the Acura being a FWD car. If you removed the valve cover at all- you're an idiot. You remove the oil cap to inspect the camshafts to see if they are moving when you are trying to start the car- if the starter has power and trying to engage the car; but the camshafts aren't moving (which are visible through the oil cap) the timing belt has went. Either you explained it wrong, or you're mechanic is a shity liar. Or both.
If the timing belt slipped, even by a few teeth- then you will have to remove the cylinder head/top of the engine to inspect the shortblock and pistons correctly as well as inspect all the valves and replace any that are damaged. You would have not damaged all of the valves, but 50% of the valves could be damaged, being this is an aucra it most likely is 4 valves per cylinder, 16 valve engine so atleast 8 valves are possible damaged, with 2 pistons posisbly needing to be replaced- this is because the engine fires piston 1&4 and 2&3 inversely.
The engine is interference, even if it was off by one tooth- the engine has suffered damage and the car is inoperable. Most shops charge $600 minimum labor wise to replace the timing belt, and misc parts- the parts with a proper GATES timing belt is about $300+ give or take a few hundred for shop markup.
After owning an STI for over 2 years now, I gotta say it's been a fun experience but I'd rather have a toyota corolla 5MT wagon.
They don't have those, but the 5mt sedans are fun. Not sporty but great to drive and give good gas. Though a fucking prius is also amazing.
Fuck I'm getting old; I hardly ever keep the STI in a gear lower then 4th, usually 6th gear which brings back remarkable mpg, 25+ on the highway (which is impressive for a turbo boxer making over 300hp, yes I have mine @ stage 2 software w/ cobb ap and bigger fuel injectors.) 6th gear keeps it under 2700rpm @ 60mph so I'm out of boost and therefore get great gas mileage. cruise control helps treamendously too...
but let me fucking tell you. traffic is a fucking bitch. I fucking wish I had a prius; I do 60-70% city driving and I have to avoid 4pm-7pm because of fucking traffic.
Cause it's fucking amazing, especially when you can view yourself in reality as a third person and freely manipulate yourself to a further extent then what you're not able to do so within your normal mind.
I can pose with a picture of my passport with DOB year proudly shown
