There was that time when the hurricane was coming right for me, but it took a left, and pissed all over Karl.

There was that time when Brad was in jail, and we were going to break him out, South Park style.

Remember when I blew my first engine? Shucks, those were the days.

Hah! How about when i was putting in my top side seals, and I had then all greased up, and trying to feed them down the channels... HAH!

Remember when Aaron's car was uglier than mine?

Yesterday, i had a 45 minute cruise home, from playing a festival just south of here. I noticed an odd scent.. smelled like fuel, but plastic-ish too.. almost like the GOOP OFF! or whatever.

I had a couple odd stalls when stopping, but it started right back up.

I noticed fuel consumption was oddly up.

When I came back out, I smelled gas. I am afraid of gas. I see big pee spot, right under filter/pump area, and on inspection, I found a slice in the HP hose to plastic hose transition, but there could also be gas coming from higher up... I can tell, because when I jacked the car up...

THE GODDAMNED JACKING POINT COLAPSED

So, I think this makes 12 cars, sold 7, put 5 down.

A comedic yet tragic story, I don't think I will ever be the same.

I love your descriptive stories but my visual side says (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thisthreadisworthlesswithoutpics.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

I was just thinking about how you and others don't post as much these days. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

sorry to hear about your 914 woes but glad you still have a gluten for them... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif)

Bruce, the jack post is bent up at a rusty 35 degree angle.

Unless there are any objections, I'll be buying something with a cup holder.

Miles is in the South....where cars become submarines and the government drops A bombs on the sleeping population.......... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I hate the jack post setup and took mine off since they were bad also:D There are way more places to confidently jack our cars up and should be used since using these wackposts are like playing Russian roulette. If one needs to keep the darn thing original, I think its best to leave them undisturbed and jack somewhere else.

Me dos pesos wero.
