Default Saturday in review

My day started at 11:00 a.m. I installed a new overflow tank so I don’t end up donating all my coolant to the Roanoke valley this summer. Then I moved onto my new super solid transmission mount. This thing was a PITA to install. I had to tare down the intake system, take out the battery, then remove the battery tray, and then remove the drivers side wheel. Then came the fun part. I unbolted the mount from the frame then unbolted it from the transmission. Then I had to remove a big bracket from my transmission to get it off. Then I managed to get the old one out and the new one in. then I went to align the mount in order to put the bolt in. This is where things got crappy I jacked the transmission up to far and it got wedged between the frame and the motor and would not drop back down. So I hop back on to the phone and call Joey asking him what he had planed when he got off work… LOL. He told me to get a big screwdriver and start prying until it dropped. So I got my big ass craftsman attitude adjuster out and it finally dropped. After some help from my neighbor I got it back together. This mount is great. I think my wheel hop problem is gone.

I then went to Fast Freddies. The turn out was good. Each weekend the turnout gets bigger and bigger so every one needs to keep coming out. I met cootees and L1LAS1N two very cool people, hope you keep coming out to freddies. I also met a friend of chads with a Pontiac with the 3800 supercharged engine, cool guy with a cool car. Chad, cootees, L1LAS1N and I headed out to Guys and Dolls after Freddies to play pool. I suck balls at playing pool but it was still fun. Every one probly thought I was not into it but I was really just tired. Two other people showed up right before chad and I left, not shore if they are on here, but I think one of them is the guy with the home brewed turbo setup on his Honda that was up at the meet back in the fall. Also Chad tried to talk some guy into racing me, even though I don’t race…

Now here is something odd. When I left G&D I went up Williamson rd and got behind a cop. Well with every one talking about getting pulled over for there exhaust I decided to do some testing since my car is completely legal. At the first stop light where I was behind him I engine broke by going into 2nd gear and she screamed out big time. Then when the light turned green I punched it good and did not shift prematurely. I did this 2 more times as the cop turned on to Hershburger when I did. Well he never pulled me over .

So how was every one else’s Saturday.
