Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

When I bought my Tacoma, I went with an auto. My next car will be a stick. I miss having a sports car with a proper gearbox.

 

I forgot I had 2 fox body Mustangs with sticks in them and 2 powerstrokes as well.

 

Forgetting the Fox Body is the only proper thing to do with it!

 

Been eyeballin' Camaros lately, along with everything else I can't get. One day I'll have another one.

 

Re: Poll

I daily a stick and with the exception of 3 vehicles (03' 4Runner, '06 Sequioa, '10 Impreza) I've had nothing but manuals.

'80 Chevy LUV
'86 Integra
'77 F250 2wd, w/390
'93 Accord
'87 Camry
'92 Rodeo
'95 4Runner
'00 Accord

 

My dad and brother both had a LUV, dads was 2wd and manual, I spent more time driving it to school that my truck when I turned 16 cause mine stayed broke down. Brother had a 4wd one, both were baby blue.

 

I kinda learned to drive a stick in a chevy luv a guy had at work. Hes like here go get us lunch, throws me the keys, i was like i dont know drive stick yet. He says you'll figure it out. I did finally but ...I green horned it couple times.

 

Instantly reminded me of this cartoon my son used to watch:

 

My first job was doing decal on vehicles. A guy from the Chevy dealership needed a ride back so I said I'd pull one of our vans around. He said we could take his ride instead and handed me the keys. I assumed it would be a Tahoe.

It was a 1978 Corvette Indy 500 Pace Car.

I was actually relieved that it WASN'T a manual. Especially since it was January and there was snow and ice.

 

I’m scared to ask what needs to be done to this because I think I may know.

 

Tractor?

 

I wouldn't think so being stainless, I'm thinking custom rice burner maybe. The long side is bowed about 3/32 of an inch and there is no way to hold it.

 

I know you're going to come up with some creative way to lock that down.. hopefully you remember to take pictures !

 

I found owner to that 65 chevy impala 2 door. I asked if she had plans to sell it. She says nope, it will sit there till its gone.(rust away)..she also had a IROC Camaro sitting in her driveway rotting away. Classic hoarder, garbage waist high on her porch.

 

It would been nice restore...but nope going to rust away

 

Truck driver came by and had a mullet with a perm, why do they call it a perm if it only last 6 months? Shouldn't it be called a temp?

 

The gas job could have been a Ford Super Duty, top dog was a 534 cubic inch -- 8.8 liters for the metric folks.

With a heavy load on a steep grade they could just about get down in the gallons per mile range.

 

Slow as that thing was I think it may have had a 302 in it

 

Lol he let you take a pic?

 

Yes.

Spoiler

No, found that on the internet
