I go to work in shorts, t shirts n flip flops. Get to the parking garage then change into my suit.

Its been so hot lately im thinking about bringing a change of boxers as well or just free ballin it to work.

Needless to say, im zapped of energy by the time i get home.

How the hell have you been driving to work for 2 yrs without AC? Have you tried charging the system with one of those kits you buy at an auto parts store? They only cost like $25 well worth the money to give it a try. If its leaking they make something you can run through the system that will stop small leaks.

yeah they did the leak test a year or so ago, my trusted family friend mechanic said i would need to replace the entire AC unit at about 2.5k. thats not happening.

Did anyone else get stuck in teh hail storm that came tearing through yesterday around 5:30 ish?

I have 2 cracks in my windshield about 3 feet long each so i was scared my windshield was gonna bust open, hail the size of golf balls came thundering down. I was right on the 495 onto 95 N area going to baltimore. Luckily I was able to find a spot behind some other cars underneath an overpass so the front half of my car was kinda protected. Seconds later, the entire highway was stopped with people taking cover under the underpass, we squezzed in there, cars and vans were inchs away from each other.

this ahole armored truck started blaring his horn b/c every lane was stopped under the underpass with cars trying to take shelter.

after about 10 mins, it cleared up to bright blue skies and traffic was very light all the way home.
