Are you saying that I couldn't afford to drive it or that no one else could?? Trust me, the guy that did own it could and did afford to drive it EVEN IN ATLANTA TRAFFIC pretty much on a daily basis.
He must have never worked on one.....
You'd be suprised, I charged him about 400 bucks, unless it needed a valve adjustment- thats about 1K worth of time...
Thats according to what "Real World" you live in... In my world cool things like this pop up from time to time!
Damn- he must really be trying to piss me off....
Whats wrong, you can't change a few simple bushings and use some common sense to install some spherical bearings to support the shift rod a tad better?
Well, buy some damn targa top seals and window rubber.
Use thicker oil, or make sure it doesn't "Get that hot".... It's not rocket science..... Jeez, I'm sure someone with your skills could conquer it, hell I'm a dumbass but my teener don't leak and until diesels can turn 8500 RPM it won't be sounding like one either! |
