Lounge / What if money was no object? (this could become very 56k unfriendly)
What would you stuff a garage with? Cars that arent a bird or a cat, because you all know they would be in a garage all by themselves.

These are just my top 5 fav cars of all time. What are yours?

I'd have one of these.



And one of these...


And...


oh yeah and this too.


and finally...

Suspension/Steering / steering nightmare.
Well, its one of those times where you hit somthing you felt would be inevitible... My pressure hose on the bird has leaked for eons.. and I replaced it. 2 months later its leaking again, so I poke my head under there to check it out and its lose as hell.. SOOO I undo the pressure hose only to find that I am stronger than I thought.... and i pulled the threads out of the rack :hick:  SOOOOO Im gonna be ordering a new rack probably tomorow, with all new goodies on it as tierod ends and all that fancy schmancy stuff. New struts and endlinks all that jazz.


Tell meh, on a scale of 1 to 10... how hard is it to swap a steering rack for a suspention dummy? I can do it... I just wanna know how hard it is...

Lounge / Sad "urban legend"
Its a story being passed around my girlfriends neighborhood that I just proved entirely wrong

She told me that theres a car in the woods that sombody got shot in and torched. This had my attention, and I asked how long ago was it. She told me that she heard 30-40 years ago it was set.

So... we went to look at it and 1 it didnt look torched, 2 it wasnt 30 years old, and 3 it pissed me off.


Those with weak stomachs dont look any further.


It was an 87-88 v6 thunderbird.






It pissed me off because it wasnt rusty in our normal areas... it was actually solid in the rockers.

So much for urban legend huh?

Electrical Tech / cluster F*cked.
i just installed my new cluster (buttstuffogue) and it keeps draining my battery

I believe i have it all pinned right. its just not letting my turn signals blink when the headlights are on..it drains the battery.. its all been happening since i installed the cluster... i really dont wanna put my old one back in but i will if i have to.


Changed alternator and re-pinned buttstuffogue cluster.. we shall see how it goes tomorow.

Lounge / people got alotta nerve
I was having a friday night out with my friends tonight.. we went bolwing, then skating. Well turns out that one of the girls that was with us had dated one of the guys at the bowling alley.. and he thought I was the new boyfriend or some shiznit.. We (me and my brother) hung out in the bolwing alley for a bit. then we decide to burn off some energy outside.. so we run around for a bit leap in the snow and shiznit... and my brother kevin goes to get his hoodie out of the bird.. he looks at me and says "Uhh, Clayton... We have a slight problem..." I was looking and i couldnt see what he was talking about.. then he pointed out the other side of my car.. My window had been bashed in with a tire iron.. so what turned out to be a fun night... got serious real quick we were at the alley from 9-12:30 we were only in the alley for 15 maybe 20 minutes..

Had the cops there.. and the alley didnt even have cameras..security guards confronted the suspicious character. he said he had never seen us in his life.. (lie) and between the time we were running around.. and the time it was done.. he had moved his car from 3 different parking spots.

Ive got a lead on a new window... and maybe a complete 86 bird.

Im PI$$ED guys.
