Because I Can Barely Walk...

Work decided to send me home early. And because work sent me home early, I’ve been gazing at cars that come through the drive-thru. And because I’ve been doing that, it has me reminiscent of Honda’s and Acura’s of a simpler time. But why can I barely walk?

So when I was getting out of the shower on Wednesday, I sneezed really hard. Like, really hard. And when that happened, a shot of pain just rushed up my spine and I fell over. After that I could barely, if at all, walk for four or so hours, and I’m still in serious pain. I didn’t feel like I was contributing to work at all today, so they just sent me home and gave me words of goodwill and encouragement. So now I need to see the doctor some time next week...

Are you people doing well?

More or less. My parents have placed some unreasonable car buying expectations on me, but otherwise, I’m alive.

Well I hope you recover soon sir.

I got home a couple hours ago after spending a few nights out in the city, now I have a ton of work to sort through, then Monday night I might be back off to the city for a week :D

Sneezing is pretty violent on the body, the shooting pain sounds like you did something to your back and spine nerves like pinched them

My mother has decided that my first car should probably be an auto, so she can drive it...even though she can drive stick, and exclusively drove vehicles with manual transmissions for 15 years. But that’s okay with me, the Lexus LS400 and USDM Mercedes 300DD both came auto-only, and I’m considering both as my first car.

And I see you also posted something about work with an Integra/RSX as the lead photo.

I see you...

I hope it’s nothing too bad, but thanks for the info.

I’m supposed to buy two cars in the dead of winter for around $3k each without them having any issues whatsoever.

No problem, I have muscle spasms in my back and sneezing can trigger them the shooting pain indicates more of a nerve issue though than muscle I would recommend getting it looked at sooner than later

Get better, man. And enjoy those spicy chicken sandwiches and sweet tea.

Because that’s logical.

Call me a traitor, but I’ve never been a fan of the spicy. A classic Chick-Fil-A sandwich is right up my alley, with no pickles, and a large lemonade. Or perhaps the side salad with just the filet on top. So, yeah, I’m apparently super basic.

Of course it is, especially considering both will be 15+ years old, and one will be a GM product.

Oh yes, because, “15+ years old,” and, “GM product,” together in the same sentence is always a definite recipe for success.

I have a 12 year old TrailBlazer, and it is a wonderful vehicle in every sense of the word.

I agree. The Spicy one is too much, though if I feel bad it’s really good (IDK why). I like the Nuggets the best though.

Trailblazers aren’t bad. Astro vans, though? Ehh.

Have you had our chicken strips?

One TrailBlazer perk: last North American built gas powered inline-6 put into a production vehicle. Other than that...ehh. I have an unusual love for the Astro, especially with curtains, and I’m not sure why.

Oh yes. They are a close second. Very Close.

Hey im considering an LS400 for my first ar too!

Classic with no pickles is where it’s at, too; I agree. My parents think chick fil a is too expensive, so I seldom eat there, but when I do, it’s great.

I think it’s too expensive and I work there. $4.17 for some nuggets (in NC, at least. Price varies by state), is just too much.

Well, it is the best built vehicle ever made.

I think the best thing on the menu is the Chick-N-Minis in the morning.

Absolutely. But I never seem to go to Chick Fil A except on Tuesday nights and Sundays only to find it closed.

I eat too much of our food, but I still love it. Especially on Sunday.
