    Jeez..Bro...that shouldnt happen. Im thinkin bad gaskets. Or a quality improvement. Felpros should be better. At least the one I bought was, until I snapped 2 head bolts with cheapy toque wrenches that took a flyin tose down the street. Before I gave up on my 250.:smash::badwords::vomito:

    Shoulda had a V8. I know...at your age with all the reflux issues.

    I'll take the blame on this one. But the next one is Ryans!

    Seems like every event that Tony is scheduled to come to gets rained out. no blame on my end even if it rains next week. Maybe Tony should stay home just in case.

    Cruise on Central

    Well, I took a friend of mine(GTO Roger)to the cruise and because we were the only ones there,were forced to flex Maverick/Comet muscle. :chirp:Unfortunately,even though mine is a ComErick & I tried so hard to represent this great group..it wasn't to be. In fact, we sounded tuff(I now have dual exaust),and you've all seen that my car looks ruff,(missing body parts & all),but nuffs enuff. Mustangs kicked the heck outta me ,:whip::boxing: 'cudas ate what little muscle my car barely had and the vw beetles infested the wary carcass of "Ol' Bessie" now renamed "Custer"! On a better note,she did live through it all & got us out safely.Yes, she tried guys,but as we all know,"You can't send a girl to do a mans job":huh: I know it doesn't go that way & I'm gonna get it...but I've no more blood to give. :rofl2:

    I thought there would still be a bunch of cars out even though the official show was cancelled. Almost went myself but was a little too cold to stand around if it was worht hanging out. Maybe next week will still have a good turn out. Im going to bring my father inlaw who will be in town, he actually came to the first one that he happened to be in town for too.

    I showed up for a little. Around 8 PM. Didn't see much except for a few low-riders and vato-mobiles. There was a new 2012 Camaro with a roll cage, but, he didn't want any of my '95 Explorer. He even laughed at me when I threw a few revs, just to hide his fear. :D

    Next weekend is supposed to be 97* and no rain. I'm guessing that the show will go on!

    Roll Cage? We don need no stinking Roll Cage!

    Vato-Mobiles...:biglaugh::biglaugh::biglaugh:

    Pronto Amigo!!! To the Vato-Mobile!
    All kidding aside..I like what some of those Guys are doing...outside of the box.

    On a serious note, I bought a new random ossilating sander. That thing is awesome. Did alot of welding today. Patches mostly. I think Ill come up to PHX Saturday to pick up a 1969 351W short Block. Screw the Iron eagle Guy, It was probably a scam anyway.
