  1. All cars are project cars .... just some of them are further along than others.
  2. If we go together, you can store it with me until you divorce her.
  3. I've got a Bulldog sitting on a shelf here gathering dust. Can't put it on my car ... gotta push the gas to start it. Can't put it on the missus's car .... it's got those idiot chipped keys. Can't put it on the manual pickup either .... I park in gear.
  4. Wagoneer was the only Jeep I'd own.
  5. The media is exactly like the political system, is exactly like the corporate system .... Remember the cola wars? Convince people that there are only 2 choices and the only decide between those two ... and all other options wither on the branch. Automotive? Ford advertised themselves against Chevy, Chevy advertised themselves against Ford ... and Chrysler filed bankruptcy. Anyone else read Mission Earth?
  6. the kids got a Wii for xmas, and the missus Sonic Colors. She was a big sonic fan from the genesis too. Too flashy for my liking. I got the boys Monster truck mayhem and Redneck farm animal racing .... really a pair of hoots. We needed another remote tho ... so I nipped out to buy one, and found FlingSmash with a remote included selling for the same price as a bare remote so I picked it up ... figured the game would be a lame duck .... nope, the kids love it.
  7. I got the missus the triplet for x-mas.
  8. Burned up contacts suggest that your air isn't quite as dry as it could be.
  9. I must have typed 4chan.org without realizing it
  10. You forgot the first rule of wimmens .... the moment there's a chance that men might understand ... change all the rules. That thing will have more weekly updates than a Microsoft product.
  11. Asked the missus about it ... she's not interested. Sorry.
  12. Does this have the computer running through it? The missus's 2005 malibu looks identical,but I think it's only a single cd at a time.
  13. upgrading to an overdrive... visit Bowtie Overdrives. Their online tutorials pretty much cover everything from wiring the lockup, to moving the cross member. Depending on the power of your engine, the 200-4r may be a better choice. It's much lighter than the 700-r4, but can still be built plenty strong and it's the same length as the th350.
  14. Just about any parts place will test the battery on their analyzer for free. A smart first diagnostic point, but not to be accepted in a void. You could have a weak point somewhere in the charging system that lead to a cell in the battery shorting. Replacing the battery alone without ensuring that there's no other problem will soon lead to another dead battery. Low volt should trigger an OBD2 event tho. Batteries are much more powerful than they were in the past, but much more fragile too. Once a dead battery was only a dead battery. Not anymore.
  15. Hmmm. Wide open pipes ... on a revving diesel ... and no clouds of black smoke ... indeed no smoke at all. Unusual
  16. A lot would depend on how the tint's adhesive works. A wallpaper steamer should work .. particularly in conjunction with a wall weasel. Alternately, a heat gun on low would loosen it up, but if you concentrate too much heat, you'll bust the glass. which leads to the really most effective method .... if your insurance replaces glass without deductible.
  17. Why LS when the mustang upgrade is so much easier? There's a ton of body kits for that model, you can turn it into pretty much any look you want.
  18. the power has to get that far first ..... As for a wagon .... how about a nice 6000?
  19. You live in a small enough town .. you could just walk to his house and tell him to his face, no?
  20. I looked up TSBs for the '85 parisienne .... #2 was about 4l60 trannys. i don't think so, Tim.
  21. This is why I backed up further for a full chassis Parisienne. Unibody construction makes me cry. There's no such thing as 'cosmetic' rust. Every car I've scrapped has left with a perfect running engine ... and so much body rust that you couldn't jack it to change a flat tire. That rust on a car with a real frame would be a few hours easy work to deal with ... and you'd be driving in style. That said ... I'd put it up and get a good look underneath. The pleasure of driving a car like that can't be underestimated. But that's me. I love my comfort and rust repair holds no fear for me ... even on a unibody.
