i got my car back!

the motor scare i had was pretty bad (with it misfiring and the idle being rough as hell and it sounding like it was knocking hardcore) but it turned out that nothing was wrong. the motor was probably sitting for years. haha

the car runs amazing. smooth. quiet (well...exhaust isn't lol). fun fun fun.

Re: i got my car back!

I had bad gas the other day. Kids were complaining about it even.

Could have been a fowled plug that cleared up or a clogged injector that blew the crud out. I'd check the plugs and see how they look.

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, scotch in one hand, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming HOOOOYA !!!!!

Re: i got my car back!

Speaking of "Getting cars back" Any word on the cars that got stolen? Anyone swingin from a tree yet? (They used to hang horse thieves right? Why not hang car thieves? I bet car thefts would drop if it became a capital offense )
