Well, fellas, it's happened again.........I'm sure you all remember me as the dork sap that dropped my beautiful Grand National tail light assembly on the concrete floor...this was after I took it all apart, painted the inside, polished the lenses to perfection, then installed my good buddy's LED Tail Light Assembly in it..(Scot W. of GNS Performance)...transporting the assembly to the next bay, I stepped on the long wires hanging out, and BOOM.....the tail light went flying, busted up in pieces, including the black trim I so lovingly restored.
THEN: Still being a dork, I painted the new harmonic balancer orange to put in my '69 Vette, as I was working on the engine....I hung the balancer up to dry over my garage bathroom sink, not realizing that a coat hanger hook was not strong enough to hold it....BOOM! Fell right through the sink....made a great big ol' hole in the bottom of it..........I got all kinds of "humorous" comments about that...(which kept me from shooting myself)
So, it happened again....I have an '88 Jeep Cherokee that I use for bad weather travel, snow, ice, rain, any kind of bad weather....I keep it very well running, passes inspection, etc....
So I parked it under a tree to keep the hot sun off of it..........woke up after a particular nasty
storm the night before, looked out at the Jeep.....AND.....sure enough, a damn branch fell down on it and busted out the rear window! I'll spare you the profanities....
Had to spend $200 to have it replaced, as I'm hurting too damn much to go out to the junkyard and get a used one.............
Moral of this post: DO NOT GO NEAR BRUCE URIE, if you know what's good for you. God only knows what will happen to you if you do! I'm surprised myself I'm still living!!! It's your ONLY warning!!!!!!
