Don't you go worrying about that wheel and RING.  |
I don't worry about anything Kevin............I just "wait" instead.

Hey Matt,
That car is sweet. I don't remember seeing a pic of it before. Something for me to strive for.

Just finished renovation about a year ago and very happy with the upgrades that were made so I think I will keep the property for a while.

DAMN IT! I've been living in this town for the past two years and didn't even know it existed. Isolated and left on the outs again. The redheaded stepchild.

Took it for a drive.
93 degrees outside 3% humidity.
2.5 miles down the road, I feel a loss of power.
I pull off the side of the road coasting in neutral.
By the time the car coasted to a stop, the motor just stalled out.
It's locked up tight.
Can't turn it at the pulley at all.
Haven't taken it out and tore it down yet. |
