I don't know.

I'm so pissed. My FedEx stuff was supposed to come today and I was gonna install it. My struts and shocks and spring isolators, and some tune-up stuff. The site said yesterday that it would be delivered 10/17.

So I track the boxes now and they say they were out for delivery at 8:03 am on the truck 10/17.

But my expected delivery date is 10/20! WTF!

It left the local dispatch this morning for delivery this morning. Why the **** didn't I get it? And if not why is it coming Tuesday instead of Monday.

She's already a crazy driver with the thing. I'd hate to see what she would do with more power.

it's almost kind of a shame they've added tracking to your packages...now you know where it's at, and expect it at a certain time, instead of the old days where you just had to hope that today was the day

Ohh I see. I never knew there was another coming. Hopefully it has more content than Relapse I, although I still like that CD

I got up this morning, took dad's car to the Ford place to have an issue checked on...end of story, he needs a new EGR valve, and spark plugs, and he's tired of Ford's crappy service. Got some uber-delicious breakfast, and then got my oil changed..I think I'm going to have to start going back there more often...the chick that does the reception area stuff also checked the fluids under the hood of my car...I was distracted for a few minutes, haha.

I've now got two perfectly clean cars. Dad helped me out, and what a difference having two people makes. In 6 hours, we washed, cleaned, waxed, did the tires and wheels, vaccuumed, rainx-d, installed new windshield wipers, cleaned the weather seals and dash and windows, and stripped off an old sticker. Our two cars look epically awesome!

now onto grabbing a shower, and making some dinner, as well as watching a football game. Congrats Gary!



Busy week for me.
And btw, what are you doing with my bosses picture?

Bad news.. on the drive from San Fran to my house ~32ish miles it blew a gasket and started leaking oil and burning it off on the cooling fins. the leak isnt very bad, and the oil that was in there was far too thin to be using anyway. we put in some thicker oil and kept it off the freeway (but it was still moving at 50ishmph) with no more leaking or burning, so i guess thats good news. I plan on tearing it down and somepoint and doing a rebuilt. the chain and sprocket may need replacing soon too. overall not too bad for an 1100 dollar bike. I was concerned what pete would think of the bike, since hes really got the most experience with them, especially ones that break. despite the leak he thinks its a pretty good bike and a good purchase on my part, something he seldom expresses lol, so i guess arin done gone and did good this time around.

anyhow video!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u7vVLzgSrYw sound qualite's not the bestest ever, but its alright

Just replace those gaskets and put some gasket sealer and be done with it. The other stuff can be replaced later little by little.
Really nice bike overall

So I took the Mustang to the store today instead of my truck. I drove my moms car a few days ago, and I gotta say, both have way more pick up, and handle awesome! The Escape is insano fun with the stick, and the mustang, OMG it feels like it's on rails. I was taking turns I do at 15-20 at 35.

Moral of the story: I never realized how spoiled I was in what I was able to drive all the time.
Lol!

Even with power lick motors @ 12V it will be faster. They do that mod here, and the kiddies love it!

In some Mustang news, I fixed part of the lighting problems on the car. Apparently it had a defective headlight bulb, because when I put back the ones it had, the high beams worked ok and they didn't start blinking. Free fix FTW!!
Turn signal fuse keeps blowing out It works for awhile, then nada.
And I'll fix the rear brakes on a 91 fox vert today

I've got credit on ebay, and was thinking about getting these. I'm not worried about my dumb lights cracking or anything. They're already all cracked anyways.

Why not just get aftermarket lights that are already smoked??

91 GT vert progress.

Some pics are pretty...



others, not so...

that reinforcement plate is a b**** to remove. The floorpan is heavily rusted as you can notice.

Note where the brake line was cut and bended. A red neck-ghetto fix indeed. Now, I'll have to redo almost half of the stupid brake line.

obviously, it needs some cleaning up, and I need to get the pistons right...which is a major PITA

Ravens have 1:56 left to put at least 3 point on the board. What a comeback
