So... Indiana is nice!

A General Discussion forum for cars and other topics, and a great place to introduce yourself if you are new to NICO!

So I went to Indiana. I've driven through it before, never actually stopped to visit. Wes and I worked on fixing my Q and taking his apart. I stayed with his folks at a lake and we worked on the Qs at the marina. Great people, good food, good times.

Pics:

Warning to my stepbrother, left on my bed before leaving town.

Stuckeys! I took this picture mostly for my brother, who also digs the game "Sam and Max Hit the Road"

One HUGE cross right after the "Welcome to Indiana" sign.

97/98 Q45

The view out of the room I stayed in.

A corpse on wheels.

OWNED!

The marina, and mini-Wes on a scooter named "Waldo"

Reason #342978 why I should not be a mechanic or a surgeon.(Me with a flashlight looking for ANOTHER freaking tool I lost.)

We met up with Tim, another NICO member. His 91 Q is PLATINUM.

850HP under one roof (not including all the boats)

Where I stayed.

Went boating. I need to convince my parents to get me a speed boat.

Such a crowded work space. (Sarcasm)

Wes doing rack bushings on my car. I wasn't much help. While I was laying under the car I fell asleep twice.

I brought my dollar store "dork light" which came in handy a few times.



Disposing of leftover sparklers.

"My sparkler died."

Home - Where 15 year olds get to gamble!

My piece of crap tools made in Taiwan.

"Please MTV, pimp my ride!"

DC's visitor center isn't open on Sundays, darn it.

I spent 100 miles playing highway tag with a Lexus LS430.

My wonderful hosts, the "Snipes" crew.

Hanging with hoosiers was cool, but nothing is quite like home sweet home.

Anything car-related or involving the work done this weekend will be posted later in Infiniti General.

Kinda cool to see 3 G50 under one roof. Even (if one of them is terminal)

The "my Sparkler died" pic is nearly as funny as your "Need a Hug" pic. Good comments, can't wait for more.

Great captions. "fell asleep", "reason #342978".

Jesda-Was that the Chrysler plant in Anderson or New Castle? It didnt look like the one in Kokomo.

Wes-Where is the lake that you vacation at?

It didnt look like the Kokomo plant. They have two of them there. There is also a Delphi plant across the street. It was probably the Anderson Plant.

yes... WE were at lake wawasee...

Jesda slept for 14 hours on sat to sunday..... My dad commented how "Ive never seen anyone sleep that much.. I dont think you could keep me in there that long"...... I think I worked him to hard...

Ironically I did more work on his car than he did, and he did more work on my car than I did....

Also, I gave him my old gas... Talk about wearing someone elses used underwear.....

Speaking of the used underwear theory, I bet one could make a fair amount of money reselling used fluids. Some people will buy anything... I've seen jugs of old coolant for sale at the junkyard and asked why its for sale. Their answer?If its better than what theyve got and cheaper than the new stuff, then why not.

Crazy!

Or you could just charge to dispose of it and then dump by your local water supply.

Better yet, charge to dispose of it, then repackage it and resell.....

You make double profit... You make profit to acquire product then to resell...
