Didja ever feel like kicking yourself in the sack and quitting this whole deal?

Very nice Jon

Well I guess I am not the only person that has a fun time in the shop. Every time I "fix" something I cause two problems. IT seems as if the car is not supposed to go. Two years of owning this car and it barely has made 8 runs.

Thanks to Bruno and this other site.

The old Bar got crowded and too commercial, ran the good ol' boys off.

Thanks for the chance to complain about myself.

If it aint broke, fix it till it is!

well one for me was we were playing in a dry clay pit I had my 69f100 out there with the other guys playing I bust a rubber trans line to the cooler it squirted on the header and cought fire nephew said he seen smoke coming from out under the hood I told him that was dust from the doenut from the dried out clay then about the time I hit it again I saw a cloud of black smoke time I got stoped and opened the hood it was in flames dry clay is not good to try and put out a oil fire I opened the tool box and I had 2 old bud lights in it that had been roling around in it hot beer shock up will put out a oil fire in a hurry it burnt the plug wires off that side wire off on the back of alt ,carb and open air filter.and burnt the paint in the middle of the hood I had just put the carb on that day along with the new plug wires and had to be pulled home by a s10 talk about looking like a fool after talking smack about the chevys so now I have to have a fire exstinsher dont drink any more so I want have any beers with me.So if you dont have a fire exstinsher and have beer shake it up and use it it will put out a fire.

LMAO, Thats why I don't talk smack It will come back and SMACK ya every time

That is why you don't see me talking smack on here I learned my lesson the hard way it don't take but a sec. for thiings to change

I'm glad I'm not the only guy doing dumb crap..... but I'm sorry you guys are suffering with me....lol......

I got caught up in some smack talk one time with a buddy of mine who drives a nova. Nice car, and nice guy, but the bowtie just can't be overlooked.

At the track one wekeend he red-lit in the first round and I started talking smack. I went home and decided to build a "red-light" trophy out of an old Kotex dispenser from the '60's. Well, I told him what I was doing and he got the red-ass. At the next event, I hadn't yet finished the kotex trophy, but my bud was still all pizzed off about it. Well, you guessed it, I red lit in the first round!

Still haven't finished the trophy, and still haven't heard the end of it....lol....

That is very very funny!! What a great trophy to pass around!!

Bill

If this didn't make me quit I'm not sure what will

Phil, you're right..... You're one of the most resilient car guys I've had the pleasure of meeting, that's for sure.

You might be surprised to learn that I hit a pole with my GT years ago, and while the back came out unscathed, the front looked disgustingly similar to what you have there.

Of course, mine did not turn blue after I fixed it, either.......lol......

Greg

hey is that a callout?

I still couldn't fix that black one and I've learned a lot since then.
That thing was meh-essed up.

After I pulled my motor I pulled the truck out the shop to the side of my shop. One Saturday afternoon I was working around the yard and decided to move the truck with my forklift. I had the forks under the front axle and was backing up just a few feet when the forks slipped out from under catching nicely on my tie rod. After cussing repeatedly at my rainbow shaped tie rod I got back up on the lift and started again. When I moved around the shop I felt a little resistance so I gave a little more gas and parked the rear tires of the lift directly on my hood.
