      I feel rather embarrased by my project for tonight. I swapped out my BAC valve out for a different one from a newer capri. Turned out to idle like trash, so I put on my other one from my white car. After getting it back together, I took it out for a spin. Comming back I heard something bounce under my chassis. Stop and check... I forgot to tighten my radiator cap. So I had to call my roomate to bring my spare. That was just horrible.
      I lost a water pump pulley like that. :? I replaced the water pump on my 91 GT and got everything back together and went for a test spin, turns out i forgot to tighten those three 10mm bolts to the pump pulley heard a thud, the alt light came on and there went my pulley, into a local lake.
      This is my BP. There are many like it but this one is mine. My BP is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. Without me, my BP is useless. Without my BP I am useless. I must drive my BP true. I must drive straighter than my enemy, who is trying to beat me. I must beat him before he beats me.

                  What really makes me feel bad though is that I was an Automotive Technician by trade. I went to school to work under a hood and i pulled this stunt.
