car show.

I put $75 worth of gas in the truck and it still not full. Bleech… Other than that I didn’t do anythign exciting.

Checking out the rides at the Goodguys Lone Star Nationals in Fort Worth, then stuffed myself with an awesome chee-burger at the Coppell Deli, followed by some loafing time on the sofa.

i hung out in the city. watch the game Go BEARS

I got back to the tear-down of my Firebird’s 3.4 V6. Removed the valve covers and pulled the rods from the passenger side. Looked closely at the manifold and EGR arrangement and realized it’s gonna be a real pain in the ass job. Thought about having my mechanic take over. Went Sunday to the trans am/firebird club monthly meeting. Discovered the club prez is now unemployed and may be getting him to do the rest of the teardown, prep and rebuild.

If I’m gonna fork over cash to someone, I’d rather it went to who needs it more, and my regular mechanic is not lacking business.

I drove 2 hours to check out an ’85 Chevy Scottsdale

Transmission is shot and he’s asking 5G’s as is.

Yikes.

In other Old School land yacht related news..my buddy’s grandpa passed away and his car has been sitting in a heated airplane hangar for the past couple years and is now up for sale.

1979 Lincoln MarkV with a 400. Body and interior both in near mint condition. 40,000 original kilometers. Message me if interested.

I took a trip to LA with a Pontiac GP GT [not my T-bird due to an almost bald tire ] and it was fun but the car takes forever to hit the 100mph mark!

I learned 99.7 mph with a 10mbit camera played 1000% fast makes the white lines stand still. What else to think about when driving eternal perfection…foliage is nice this year.

i went to a weekly car show in ft. lauderdale, took alot of pics. tons of cool cars.
