Note to self: never (again...) attempt to secure axle boots with giant zip ties.

Default That's not the least of your problems.

Your engine is missing.

Bummer.

Default Crap. Rebuilt motor go crunch.

Sigh. Just got a call from Steve. The bottom end ate itself. He said it sounded really weird when he tried to turn it over, so he pulled the head off. Turned it a few times, and the bottom end destroyed itself. Chunks of sleeve in pan sort of thing.

The sucking is great. It's 11am now, and he's pulling the bottom end out of his civic. It's a poor tired 100k mile bone stock Type R motor.

Default Put your helmet on before you...

...bang your head against a wall.

Race cars suck. Tow vehicles, too. Major adventures last week with the White Whale. The phrase "crew cab diesel dually" is swimming around in my head. Should I go for a ostrich skin interior, or just plain leather ?

Cars and trucks, in general, just suck. I'm going sailing.

Default

I thought I was the only one to try that. Didn't work for me either.
