The Beast is Awaken!!!!

MTU 50 · 04-13-2002, 12:16 PM

I finally pulled my car out of winter storage. What a good feeling Torque Induced Oversteer is. I had almost forgot how it felt.

A couple of things I noticed that need fixing:

-Proportioning valve is leaking like a faucet. ( not good, but I knew about it before I put it away).

-Rear brakes were sticking real bad. (kinda knew about that before I put it away).

-The damn battery is not holding a charge. I think its finally time to buy a new one. This one is 6 years old.

Plus I need to finishing painting the hatch (which is off the car in the basement), and get that back on quick.

Other than that, what a good feeling to have my car back.

That's probably a kickass feeling...my car is getting fixed, I'm hoping to get mine back out in a few days. Congrats!

I sure did. I drove it from my girlfriends parents polebarn about 2.5 miles to my house. hehe. There was a few stares, but for the most part people didn't pay much attention.

Man, its real easy to get the rear end squirrely without the weight of the hatch on there.

Gonna put a tarp on it tonight (although the forcast doesn't call for rain) and hopefully get it back on tomorrow.

They haven't won in a while, but I think Scotty's resting a bunch of people. I don't know? I've been busy with school and my car, so I haven't been paying attention.

Come playoff time, I'll be watching. They'll pick it up. They better.
