not today, but yesterday I installed my new factory (unbroken) shifter. Much better, the T handle doesnt fall off anymore. I also put in a new drivers side power window switch in.

I started the one with the engine in it late last night!!! Man it sounded good. Alas, only backed it out of the garage to move it over so a buddy could park his Harley in there for the day. I listened to it for about 3 cigs and a beer.

I stared longingly at the gn this morning as I pulled the 5.0 into the garage. A new job 50 miles away, the escort's down, the wife drives the Jimmy, blah blah blah... The 5.0 gets 25 to 27 mpg, so that's my ride for now. Plus it keeps miles off the gn!

Not today but past week....

It was an action packed week.I finally put the 3"THDP on. Hat also took care of major exhaust leak. So far Im up 2 car 0. Enjoyed a great cruise Sat night. Couldnt wail on it (knock over 10 psi). Sunday starter went. Car 1. It was a lot easier than expected. Monday took her to Cottons to get tuned... Time will tell. I hate suspense. Good luck to all those other TR that are down. Just know we all been there b4, and will return.

SLEEPING...is what my car is doing. Too hot to drive, not to mention the infamous Power Master is dead. Its awaiting new parts to come in. Once thats done, its time to smog the car and pay the 3 month late registration.
