Also, I finally got my revenge today!

I was doing 60 on a 2-lane on the way home from work this evening, and a deer leaped across the road in front of me. The ****er didn't make it this time. My left front tire hit its hind legs, and I laughed my *** off as I watched it in the mirror, tumbling to the side of the road.
Damn things are everywhere lol.

Shut up, dickwagon.

I just replaced the missing bellhousing bolt with Grade 5, and I figured I'd replace the one that was still there, too. While I was at Lowe's, I made an arts and crafts project.

Fwiw, I've used a high lift base as a creeper in the rain before.

Looking good!
