so closer to palestine then tyler? yeah it gets pretty isolated out there. worked some in that area awhile back

 

You have to admit that the roads are a blast to drive on in this area.... I'm a little over a mile south of FM321 and CR404, 1/2 mile west of CR404... What kind of work did you find out here.

That's longer than my clutch lasted. Mine failed at just under 30k and they said clutches aren't covered under warranty but if I showed them mine and fought it I could have got it. Oh well. anyways my pressure plate snap ring that held the fins in broke and at high rpm the plate would lock in not allowing me to shift. Put a new clutch in and ran like a charm.

 

A fix-it ticket?! what the... how much did that cost? I sealed it up by the way.. sucks though. It doesn't look pretty anymore.

 

Curb checked it when parking at the bank. There was a chunk of concrete missing from the curb, which gave me the illusion that there wasn't a concrete curb there... I ended up finding it though. -.-

Fortunately, I lightly scuffed the side of the lip (looks like a quarter size of road tar) and have a very light cut on the driver side, front tire. Going to keep an eye on the tire's treadwear and make sure it doesn't leak because of that light cut.

 

Filled it up with petrol for the first time.

37.25 mpg.

Considering it was 45% city, 50% hwy and 5% beating on it....I think 45+ mpg on the hwy is easily attainable.

Yazz...I love you.

 

Nice. Just stay below 3400 when driving on the highway in 5th to say out of VTEC and you should easily hit 45 MPG.

 

yeah i wish she understood it more. no worries tho cuz everytime i put a part on da car she gets it once she rides in/drives it. And coyote, i was working for terminix in tyler but was sub'ing for a tech in palestine

 

You might need to put headers, test pipe, and a straight axle back pipe on it.. Tell her it might explode and rev the engine in neutral until it hits the rev limit and keep the throttle pedal on the floor... She may not ever want to come near the car afterward and you could put anything you want in it.. It might help if you scream like a mad man and start foaming at the mouth while bouncing up and down in the seat.. I don't know if that would work for sure, I have known women that became aroused when I'd do stuff like that. Yeah go ahead and do it, either way you are going to come out ahead.

 

lol, I sit right at the speed limits on longer trips, thus I should be good.

 

actually i tend to do the bouncing and foaming thing when i watch top gear bbc or formula1 so shes used to that by now. i took a corner a little "spirited" with wifey and mother in law jn the car and almost scared her out of her skin. it was hilarious!!! lol

 

Sure you will... until you get to a set of nice bends, then you'll wonder why you're doing 20 over... That might just be me though.

 

nope...ive got that syndrome too...but it happens everywhere...sometimes i even use traffic as a "road course obsticles" but thats a secret...lol

 

Ugh, don't get me started on traffic. Most of the people around here don't get the concept of "keeping right except to pass" and often get butt hurt after someone uses their car as a "chicane" after they've created a rolling road block for the past 5 miles.

 

around here weve got guys over compensating with oversized trucks, women driving 10 below the limit and no one...i mean NO ONE knows how to pull into an empty lane if they are leaving a parking lot. i feel race tracks are possibly safer than the regular roads around here...>_<

 

LOL. I was driving home from a family reunion and it was a beautiful curvy road. Off about 1/2 mile in front of me there was a DSM (Don't ask me how I knew it was, it was kind of a hunch based on what I could make out), 3 curves later with about 500 ft of straight between each corner, and I was right on him (ie less than 100 ft away).

I lol'd. I never went below 55, or above 60.

The speed limit was 55, the recommended speed for the corners was 35 for 2, 25 for 1.

hahahahhaha

 

Don't feel bad, we have that too down in the Brazoria County. What sucks the most about those oversized trucks is that most of those are diesels and the guys driving them love to make them billow black smoke everywhere any chance they get. -.-

Do people not tie down the cargo in the beds of their trucks or in trailers well up there as well? Its quite fun to dodge pieces of scrap metal hopping off a trailer on the freeway, especially when an unstrapped, rusted out 350 small block is teetering on the end of the trailer. Makes for a great surprise autocross session. XD

 

yea we got all that. for some reason all these goonish rednecks with the diesels thinks its also cool to put a 12" axle back on their trucks and so it spews more than the usual amount of carbon death...-.-

but as far as ppl with unsecured loads...did i mention race tracks are safer than the regukar roads...lol

 

ooo... me likey create chicane over dumb car...
