    lol at grandma & dark
    I live my life a quarter pounder at a time. And for those 500 calories or more, I'm free. I need FRIES! Two of them. The big ones. Oh, and I need them tonight. You're lucky the double shot of BBQ sauce didn't blow the seam on your nugget box. There she is, 2 pounds of pure beef. My dad ate it in 9.0 seconds flat. Check it out, it's like this. If I lose, winner takes my happy meal. But if I win, I take the burger and the toy. To some people, that's more important.

      Since I love the back roads, and to get through them as fast as possible, I installed these struts bars, front and rear, and boy did they make a difference

            Nope. I think that its leaking from around the distributor. I stays leaking oil on the tranmission. It uses and leaks about 1 quart every thousand miles. I'll get it fixed later than sooner.

              Any reason why you don't just swap BP or BPT? I think BP would be affordable to a college student.

                I put 26,000 miles on this car in 1 year. When this motor clunks out, I'll think about whether I want to drop in a bp or another b8.

                Either way, I need to start collecting parts, ie be building an engine and trans just in case something stupids happens. The motor runs good with the exception of some lifter tick on start up.

                Why replace a good engine that is getting me 37 miles on the highway, and 400 miles to a tank on the highway and 360 with mixed driving?

                    Thanks for the somment Spenone. It's growing on me. I want a bpt in it next. Will it happen? Not anytime soon. But it would be nice though. A "factory" sleeper to say the least.

                    I still want that hood and grille though. I see you like the headlights. . . Thanks for mine.

                        Thanks Jack. That's one thing that I LOVE about this car. There is NO RUST AMYWHERE!

                        She has dings, and scratches, but NO rust (knock on wood)

                        She could use a hood, a pass. front fender, and a trunk lid (dam hail), but it's all minor. But I expect that from a $100 car.
