Here's the mountain goat with 4.5 RE coils, RE shocks, adjustable LCAs, and KORE trackbar. Also the C4x4 bumper and smittybilt winch with my Hellas thrown on the front.

doesn't matter that it has a big motor, not when it has to lug around 3600lbs of body weight. The ***** is a v-6 and is a **** thing to drive. I sit two feet off the ground, have to fight ****ing automatic everything, bottoms out on EVERYTHING, smells funny, and is an old man car to boot.

In addition to everything I had listed here earlier...
I TRIED to do my driveshaft u-joints without my ball joint press. That didn't quite work out.
Then I swore at it for about an hour, cuz when I was driving it home, the temp gauge pegged, and I was blowing steam. Still had water, so I let it cool down and it did it again with an engine stall right when I was pulling in the driveway.

Oh, believe you me, there's gonna be a thread of me screamin, *****in and yellin all about it....

But first things first, gotta re-size pics for the tech write up.

Drove all over the place for my freaking job so my crew can work...

Discovered a new noise today, only when its cold, sounds like a hole in the exhaust header, you know, like a "chug-a, chug-a, chug-a" as you accelerate, only a bit faint, not really that loud...

Something else to find and repair I suppose...

Negligent father, abusive mother. But my dad's getting on my case about me being me. I.E. an insomniac.

Yeah enough of that crap.

Anyway, today I drove a buick, but I have to tell this story just because it's funny.

I was playing in the snow in my neighborhood (e-brake=fun). This lady was just staring at me going down the street slideways, holding her groceries behind her car. I go up and back down my street, she's still staring at me. I pulled into my driveway (about 2 doors down), and returned the stare.

Do something taboo, watch the world watch you.
