    Learned the hard way in the Navy wrenching on a pump...never use a long handled wrench and/or a breaker bar and pull towards your face. You can only punch yourself in the face enough times before you realize your mistake.

    Story actually gets better. After it hit him in the tooth he set the gun in the crossmember grabbed his face and bent over in pain. Well as he bent over the gun fell off the cross member and hit him in the back of the head.

    That seems to be every Safeway. The one by my house is awful and always 5-10 people in line. Went in one night looking to get a 6 pack of wine for a party. They didn't have the kind I wanted on the shelf so I asked if they had any in the back. Guy says they are too busy to check then proceeds to talk with a coworker and walk around the store. Such crap, I think they have a 2 star rating on yelp...

    Very similar story here. Mine was a 92 LX Hatch though, dark blue, all the goodies. Silly fast. I was 21, and very stupid.

    When the insurance folks saw the speeding ticket that read "110 mph, and pulling away" they made sure I'd be riding a bicycle for the next 5 years...

    I hate fords.

    She's getting better by the minute!!

    Rear end is in, front is getting close. It's on the rack over at Cody's shop, Quarter Tilt Kreations.

    I had to get the driveshaft built, so that's setting us back a few days, but she should be back together not too long from now. She'll have changed quite a bit since you saw her last...

    Ridetech suspension, Wilwood big brake kit, Moser 9" rear, 18"s in front, 20"s out back... still primer gray tho :cookiemonster:

    I just blew my load all over the phone screen. Tell me it's a 4 speed manual and I'll do it again :drool:



    My original love was a 55 Chevy pickup stepside. 350 and 4 on the floor. Where I learned to rev match down shift. It. Was. Amazing. And a death trap...

    Since cerberus capital took over safeway it went downhill, not that it was great to start with. The one near me has empty sections on the shelves and the workers all look like tweakers

    It is not a stick... YET! It's got a 350/th350 in it now, but next up is motor/trans swap. Motor plans = big and angry. Trans plans=Stick shifted.
