Yeah, Im working 2 jobs right now at 11 hours a day, so I have a little money to put into the car. Im just gonna bypass the heater core, the Escape is the winter car. Im thinking about just a tune up and maybe try and get some rims by then. Im trying to get a hood from Aerobird Motorsports, if I can get it I'll have a TC hood painted and on the car in a week.Yeah I think that should work, I'll check on it. Maybe my friend will wanna go, if his car is still working by then

Not sure man the car ate almost a half a tank to go like 85 miles. I dont think its a case of being able to limp there and back. Its pretty bad at the moment. I ate half a gallon doing the key on engine running test and trying to adjust the TPS.
Im going to order some parts the first week of the month maybe I can get alot of it fixed by then the O2 sensors are whats going to kill me on getting it running right. Im trying to get it going though so we'll just have to hope and see.
If I can come up with the money to do it Im gonna go down and swap the tranny the first week of the month as well ,I Canat least fix that part. right now the leak is only stopped enough I can limp down to fix it. Id be afraid to take it all the way down to the meet and back unless it was absolutely necessary.
If nothing else I can catch up with everyone on the next one if there is one.

Dammit. No can do. Im going on my last family vacation. Being 18 and all. I got a TC hood on the way and rims to be ordered though, the car is out and running again, purrs so nicely. Funny story about the other day at work. Now we have another Fox owner working at the store. He owns an 88 Tbird like Danny's but its the solid shade of dark brown. Dammit I wish I could!!!!! I cant even make it to CatJam, ****!!!!!

So...  since things got canceled for the last meet I have come up with something a bit more special...  sometime Next month there is a "Last Run" car show at the local drag strip and I think it would be a perfect first meet since we can meet and race against each other and show our cars.  Let me know if you might be interested in this one :D  I'll have more details as I find out.

I might make it. I'll have to resort to driving the daily down there, I dont have the money at the moment for that much gas. I can try nonetheless. Also depends on the tires on the wheels I am picking up.

I have decided not to try to get mine in the show due to the rain and lack of time to clean her up.  so if you cant make it, its no big deal we can plan another time.
