wussies. if you wait long enough it will grow feathers and you can kill it all over again.

I used to work at a chicken place and raw chicken gets nasty after a few hours without refrigerating.

i had to clean the blood out of the bottom of the fridges at a sushi restaurant. that stench has no rival. remember the bog of eternal stench form the labyrinth? shorter timeline (2 days if you get it on you, no amount of soap can remove it) but infinitely worse smelling.

anyway, i walked around in the back of one of the 53' trailers, and it measures perfectly for what i had in mind. it will be spectacular if we can get a hold of one and mod it.

that's good. How hard is it to drive an 18wheeler? Could you teach someone easily?

i would say yes. it's just slightly more complicated than driving stick shift.

thats good, i havent driven a stick in a while. I think being able to operate a wide variety of vehicles is important.

I have always thought any kind of learning was good, especially practical stuff, like vehicle maintenance and repair. I am always excited to drive something new, or learn a new job.

I'd love to learn how to fix an engine because even if i buy something like a Toyota pick-up, which never breakdown, i would feel better if i can.

thats a good idea. Everyone should be familiar with driving various type of vehicles such as big trucks and stuff, automatics and standards, and whatever else there is. General engine repair knowledge would also be good, as would knowing how to hotwire. That way if you are in a pinch you can hop in a car, hotwire it, and drive away to safety. I dont know how to hotwire but it would be good to learn. Not so I could become a car jacker, but because it could be very useful come z day.

yeah...I would love to know how to hotwire. I bet it is pretty difficult on newer cars

Hotwiring is super duper easy. You go beneath the steering wheel, there's a bunch of wires down there. You find the power in wire, its live be careful. And you touch it to the ignition wire. Vroom Vroom.

That works only for older model cars. New ones have safeties to prevent someone from doing this.

yeah only works on older cars depending on when the car was made determines what type of 'anti-hotwire' it uses and how to defeat it. For example in early 2000's one scheme were running a slight electrical current threw the ignition which when the key was inserted completed the circuit preventing a engine kill switch from firing. It's more complicated now since most cars now use some sort of chip which is in the key and does god knows what to make the car work but with a little bit of rewiring under the hood you can bypass the chip. it's just a matter of learning how to over ride the anti theft feature.

and over riding the system would really be fun if you were runnin for your life from zoms

Is it possible to hot-wire a motorbike, cause I'm not sure? confused

**autonomous** · **autonomous** on Wed Mar 25, 2009 11:08 pm

Older motor bikes and dirt bikes use a kick start but some have a key that needs to be in place for it to run. If it has a key there's a way to rewire it. If it uses an ignition its a bit more complicated. For more information leave your car in a bad neighborhood and offer who ever comes to take it 20 dollars in exchange for info and remember to bring mace.
