We have an opening to attend at the University. :(
Saw the sun was out so I took the cover off, disconnected the batter charger fired it up and drove it for work today. There's just something about the feeling of getting in it and starting it up after it's sat for a month or so that is energizing!
^^^yes I know that feeling. Like the first drive after sitting around during winter.
Driving Too Fast to work today, and maybe for a fun 200 or so miles this weekend. Supposed to be upper 60s and no rain.
Complained, because of my cars annoying habit of not starting if she's parked facing uphill. So I had to put her in neutral, coast backwards a few feet till she was level...then start her up. No idea where to even begin diagnosing that issue.
After that went for a drive that was cut way too short by a sandstorm...
took her to get beer so i can work on my brothers 1966 imperial crown coupe and a dum ass honda
Opened the door to the garage and said you need a bath you filthy pig and closed the door. If it wasn't pouring outside I would have treated her to a nice rub down. Working on getting the interior cleaned up for storage and getting the garage organized to make some room.
Opened the garage door and to my amaze the car wouldn't start. Did the basic walk around and found the fuel pump has died. Winter is here and I guess it's time to park it.
Walked by it with the cover on it and wished there wasn't snow on the ground and it was 30 degree's out.
Walked passed the driver side going to work,walked passed the passenger side coming in from work
AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH Damn!!!!! I sold it, the Great Pumpkin is GONE! :sillyme: Picked up a new Jeep Wrangler 4dr Sahara 6spd. The dealership I traded it to tried to hose me on the deal, but I "forgot" to tell them the rear was on its last revs. HAHAHAHAHA. If any body is interested, I now have for sale a "Wolf" brand outdoor car cover for sale and the convertible 3-piece plastic cover set w/ storage bag, in new condition as the only time I ever used the plastic covers was when I went to the T/A Nats. PM me if you're interested. thanks :look:
Traded the T/A for a Jeep?! For shame, Scott!
^ fourty lashes with a wet noodle!!....
Drove her yesterday, 252 miles, 35 minutes idleing/stop and go in one section to go 2.5 miles, 30 or so city miles and STILL only used 9.8 gallons, a bit better than 25 MPG. Waxed her last weekend and getting compliments on how clean she is.
Daily driving her is fun but miles are starting to rack up quick :( got asked by 3 different guys if I'm selling it... Crazy people...
Started removing the motor mounts to replace them with spohn performance solids. I have all of the bolts out except the ones attached to the block as of now. The passenger side is infinitely easier to get to the bolts when you have no HVAC system in the car!
Took Dawn out to lunch and drove around 80 miles. It was a good day. :)
Did the Berger bumper mod. Also, wetsanded and re VHT'd my tails.
took it home and tucked it in for the winter..... checked my mileage, and running 80-85 on the interstate, one trip down in to the city to pick my sister up and buy booze, definately was not easy on it, as i was wanting to play as much as i could before it was put up for the winter, and still averaged it out to 29.2 mpg..... YEE YEE!
Bought a pair of used Bridgestone Potenza RE760 Sport tires on eBay for the front of my car. Apparently they have 2500 miles on them, are 1.5 years old and I saved about $125-$150 for the pair compared to a new pair from TireRack. Hopefully they look as nice in person as they do in the pics.
Also put my car up on jack stands and its stored away for the winter. :(
