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.

I love your descriptive stories but my visual side says thisthreadisworthlesswithoutpics.gif laugh.gif

I was just thinking about how you and others don't post as much these days. idea.gif

sorry to hear about your 914 woes but glad you still have a gluten for them... 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.

And you killed it? The Great white north is tough on everything.

Miles is in the South....where cars become submarines and the government drops A bombs on the sleeping population.......... smile.gif

Sounds like it can be fixed....the parts are only $25 from Restoration Design......all you need are them and someone who can weld

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.

This week:

Ya know, if Miles were real, and had a real 914, and it had a real jack post, all this would be important. Nothing to see here. He exists only in our worst dreams.

Good old G-n-R tune.... number one with a bullit.

Used to love her


I used to love her, but I had to kill her
I used to love her, but I had to kill her
I had to put her
Six feet under
And I can still hear her complain


I used to love her, but I had to kill her
I used to love her, but I had to kill her
I knew I miss her
So I had to keep her
She's buried right in my back yard


I used to love her, but I had to kill her
I used to love her, but I had to kill her
She bitched so much
She drove me nuts
And now I'm happier this way


I used to love her, but I had to kill her
I used to love her, but I had to kill her
I had to put her
Six feet under
And I can still hear her complain

Miles, WTF?

Fix your damned fuel leak... and drive the car "next door" to my place. Order the jackpoint in advance from RD, and we'll weld it in for you.

That sounds insane.

How about... I buy a new car, and we turn this one into a club project. (for you!)

Imagine the look of surprise on my face, when I drive up in a year, and it's all done.

In the interm you could go to Walmart and buy a cheap jack & stands. That way you could lift the car from the engine bar and fix the leak. That way you will have something to drive....... either that or you have to pull the Caddy out of storage.....

I'm going to resist the urge to mention 1) Truck 2) tow bar 3) over a year ago.... smile.gif

Bummer about the jack point and fuel leak dude.

Both easy fixes.

BTW, my teener has a cup holder.

Nice to see you post Miles. wavey.gif If you weren't so far south I'd stop over and fix that stuff for you. But you've repaired harder stuff than this yourself already.
