So i sold a set (4) shocks with actuators, the switch and their controller today.

Let's go back in time to march with a stop over in 2020 at the ups facility by my house, then to today.


Bought a car, replaced wheel bearings brakes shocks some bushings, had new rubber installed. "Bunch of little they add up stuff" so on and so forth.


These shocks i find out are prized possessions, sought after the world round, cars flip over turtle with regular non adjustable shocks their so great ! Send them back to bilstein for a rebuild.

It sounds like (from what i read) these shocks are so awesome that if joseph would've installed these on his donkey, not only would there be room at the inn, but he and mary would have stayed in the presidential suite and jesus would not have had to be born in a barn.


wow ! i don't want them, they've been on the car for 33 years and 112 thousand miles.

besides 1 of the actuators doesn't work which makes the whole system inop.

i'll just throw on the bilstein shocks that come as standard like if this option wasn't checked off when it was built.
sacrilege i'm told.


Back in 2020 during the corona voodoo, (ya know right before the presidential election wink wink) when everyone was all coo coo for coco puffs running around in space suits and ****. I sold some boat parts and proceded over to the ups facility near my domecile and was met by the counter guy who flew off all coo coo for coco puffs because i was unmasked in flip flops and without gloves on. Total felony stuff it sounded like.


capital F it, go over to the ups store call the buyer and advise him shipping is a few bucks more because of soylent green boy all albino'd up in his space suit over at ups throwing a temper tantrum.

Ive ground fiberglass in shorts while using a marlboro to keep the dust outta my lungs for christ sake man, leave the tyvek suits and mask cartridges on the shelf for people who need them.


Over the last 6 months or so everytime i needed up on the shelf these hallowed be thy name shocks packed in a box are in the way. Log in lower the price 3 times.

Today, Finally, 300 bucks plus shipping and off to ups i go.
mind you, i haven't been there since then.

So it's like att spectrum and mickey d's ? I have to do your job, there might as well be a kiosk and conveyor belt at ****in ups now instead of chicken little behind all the acrylic. Just back there waitin on the 2024 election virus to ramp back up so he can buy all the space suits and masks up at lowes.

I log into OSO to pen this up because you guys know how nla parts are, can't throw em out but can't hold em forever, meantime a member pm's me about 1 of the last pieces i have.
back to u-p ****in s to deal with chicken little behind the acrylic, swear to god it looks like an aquarium, i should put a little scuba helmet guy and treasure chest from the fish section in the pet store on the counter

😂😂😂

Well that was an awesome read this morning. Thanks for starting my day off with a laugh.

That moment I had to download an app to order food at a restaurant was when I kept driving.

The shock absorbor saga continues. First off i got it resolved (well, i didn't log back in and verify, but it should be good)
also this isn't eitner individuals fault, blame rests squarely on the shoulders of pay pal.


I got a text, hey i'll take that part, sent you the money let me know shipping.


(i got the car up at the dealership for an alignment and waiting on a call and the courtesy ride that never came so that's a wash grab this thing and box it up)

well **** it's early, run it up to ups say hi to soylent green boy enter all the info click print and mention that if there was a kiosk and conveyor belt in the lobby you could sit at home all day.


Get home log into paypal and my ****in jaw hits the floor,
it was like relaxing at home in the lazy boy and asking myself "whats that beepin noise" only to open the front door to see this



Yep Tony wants his money, ya gotta kick a taste upstairs !

i mean paypal put a hold on my funds until i enter a tax i.d. number because 2 people paid me via goods and services both totalling just over 600 bucks in one month and they have to get a tax i.d. or my social because the IRS says so cuz someone thinks i'm running a business.

from now on used parts, NLA or not, brand new unused NLA or not, of which i have 2 other pieces will now either be pushed thru the bandsaw or blasted together with the mig gun or both into a false god trophy that i can sit around the campfire and tell people the story behind the hunk of chopped up **** all blasted together in the middle of the rock garden.


again, not the buyers fault, they were just protecting themselves.

Time to take Adriana for a ride. Adriana being paypal in this installment of the shock absorbor story.

Ok, for 10 years now that i've lived here a handfull of neighbors stop by while walking their dogs if they see me outside, and for those 10 years i buy all the dogs in the neighborhood a bag of bi-jac liver treats and mail some and dog toys to 1 of my cousins out in Az. her dog not her.

just like the little old lady who walks her dog but doesn't stop by, her dog is gettin old and slow, one day he stopped at the end of my driveway looked at me and opened his mouth,( you know the international hey how you doing in dog facial expressions) so i waived.

The lady who felt the leash get snug turned to look at the dog only to see me waiving.

and with a puzzled face raised her hand to wavie back kinda like who the **** are you and i just said " lady, i was waiving to your dog"


This year, i'm doing all my doggy christmas shopping on the credit card, i'll find out if petsmart is in on it with paypal and the feds. I'll know because if the county dog catcher shows up at my place talking about me buying dog treats and **** but our records don't indicate you having a dog liscense at this address and weres he at and you better get that liscense straightened out.

Fx3 shocks for a C4 vette???

fx3 i guess is the option code, or something. Space shuttle **** that belongs on a rocket or hasselhoffs talking trans am.


i just needed a car, start-run-drive, v8-full frame-rear wheel drive-american. Tough to find anymore.

wouldn't reccomend anyone buy one. Hindsight, should've paid a little more and looked a little harder for a crown vic, even tho they are now way overpriced because cleetus is buying and crashing them all up on you tube.

I thought the same thing!
