3 Tons of Fun! Littles Taco and E46 Build, Travel, and B.S. Thread

It’s not like you’ve got a ton of shit to do to the truck... lots of the big mods are all done.

 

True, but you know damn well there’s always something to spend another few hundred bucks on.

 

Troof.

 

Getting my haircut by Adam. He told me to say fuck you.

 

Lol. Hope he didn’t fuck it up. It’s nice to know that I am loved and missed by my family.

 

He always does a good job. If not for him I'd have ditched the beard a long time ago.

 

Hey cuz, I like the truck! I was talking with your dad the other day and he gave me your handle. He's planning on stopping by my place on his cross country trip. I haven't seen him since HS.

 

Another Castrantas on TW? WTF?

 

No I'm

No not a Castrantas, But we're cousins. I'm from NE Philly

 

Thanks Steve! My dad said you were trying to find me on here. It’s been a long ass time, and not the first time I’ve connected with family on the inter webs.

Dad is really looking forward to his retirement and his trip. I’m excited for him too. It’s the first time he’s done something like this since he was in high school and he is like a kid talking about it.

You can wrap up #17 in about 2 minutes with some JB Weld

 

I wish my list was like that.

 

I tried that. It held for awhile but eventually the gas seemed to soften the JB weld. Maybe I need a different kind?

 

Yea your to do list kinda sucks...but you’ve made good progress recently. I talked to my brother last night and heard you got a little banged up in the FRS the other day. You all right?

 

Yup. 23 yr old chicky hit me on Byberry coming up towards Bustleton in the Northeast. Took out the bumper, taillight, and drivers side rear quarter. No injuries. I was stopped and she just ran into me.

Bummer.

 

Yes! This is what I need. Thank you!

Still baffles me that you see videos of these things getting the shit beat out of them, and I get a pinhole leak with it sitting in my swing out.

Glad you’re okay. I’m sure Bonnie is hysterical again.

 

Not really - I wasn’t hurt so she didn’t freak out.
