Not specifically 6GC related but must be shared for epicness-
Today, on the way home I saw 5 motorcycle cops pulling people over and another one radaring on the overpass right near my house. So I got home, grabbed a half sheet of drywhall and spray painted SPEED TRAP SLOW DOWN!! on it. Then I stood on the side of Interstate 20 for an hour waving my 4 foot sign at traffic. I feel like Superman now! |

QUOTE (Box @ Dec 5, 2012 - 4:54 PM)  Did you do a write up on it? There's a link for one in the sticky, but the link is dead.  here's what Diego told me: CODE cut a square plastic on the back of the taillights where the amber is. there is a small screw that hold the amber light, removed then and carefully start breaking the amber with any tools you have. ones you have removed put the plastic back and use a silicone to sealbot again.

I'm not sure which is more detrimental.
 My luck the tail light would either break and/or never seal properly again. Then again, I have exhaust and air intake to take care of first, along with seats.

A coworker asked me about how I imported my car so we chatted for a good 5 mins and everything was going well, until at the end he goes and says "well, i guess that's how you bring in a piece of $hit car into the country" and walked away. at first i was like wtf and offended, but then i realized it was more of a matter of opinion so if he thinks my car is a POS, then that's fine with me because I still think my car is the best car that can be had for under $5k.

Wtf? I don't understand how... nvm. Lmao. What does he drive, out of curiosity? Today I discovered my lower hose leaking again. UGH! I think I need to replace it. Apparently new two years ago isn't new anymore and it's formed to the shape/texture of the old radiator... the new slick aluminum outlets are arguing with it internally. -------------------- 1994 Toyota Celica GT-S 5S-FE 190k Miles.

Then tell him that Ford=Found on road dead. Then backwards it's driver returns on foot. Then go on about how people drive trucks and don't use them in a practical sense are compensating.

How do you make a ford go faster?
Get out and push it. Why are newer Fords so aerodynamic? To improve the fuel economy of Chevy tow-trucks. If someone says - First On Race Day - last to the finish line Or, yeah but it takes an expert team of mechanics two weeks to get one decent run. |
