The Beast is Awaken!!!!
 
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.

nice
 
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.:D

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.
