[bigj884]

So there are covers for those. I assumed, but never remembered to check. Sweet.

I took a bunch of pics: http://picasaweb.google.com/clauretano/FIXEDCAR

installed my summer hood, and stuff.. oh yeah, relocated the power steering cooler to behind the radiator bracket (didn't allow my intercooler to sit back farther.. gonna have to redo the hiboost brackets. Painted my horn black again. Every spring it is very rusted, I sand it down, I paint it. It's getting old

Then I went to Sears to say "ugh yeah my jack broke.. there goes 100 dollars down the drain". .. they didn't carry the model I had (3 ton high-lift), but they had one that was just 10 dollars more.. they let me just process it as a return even though I bought it last August, had no receipt, and even though I handed them my sears card they couldn't look it up because it was so long ago. Oh and I returned it you know.. very, very used.

The new one is easily 2x the weight though. I actually had them bring it to my car haha wtf why was my other one so light (only like 50 pounds).. this new one is wild.

*horn haha wow.. I'm the master of typos tonight..

edit: oh and as of right now.. yeah I definitely want to keep my car, I love it too much and now that it is fixed well, I'm happy again. I'm buying the MSP big brake kit, new brake fluid, bunch of new suspension bushings, tein s-tech springs, and a couple other things I can't think of right now..

 

[CTt3P5]

Chris, your car looks great! Gotta keep it now

But yeah, one of my little things was missing. I think one person must lose theirs, and then set off a spree of people stealing them.
