The car is drivable, but with the nut ballz on the roads, not taking a chance on getting hit, too many parts are unobtainable on a car this "rare". NOPE!


Make it a good day all.

Morning Madd~E.
Morning Nic, I'm glad this project is coming to a close. You may need some of this:

By far the most difficult car to work on! The vette has presented issues, but most work we did on it seemed very straightforward, the jag, NOTHING has been straight forward.

Furnace guy showed up at friend's house and of course heat exchanger has a crack as they're all piles of shit the last 20 plus years. Motor took board out guy said. Looks like a 6k furnace time. Said the ac is fine and won't nee replaced saving a lot of cash.
He smacked the broken elbow on a door jamb Saturday around lunch ended up in ER. They put cortisone in shoulder and shot in elbow then reset elbow. He was in extreme pain even lit up on vicodin.
So shoulder brace(ordered him a good one instead of the POS they gave him) and a sling.
Said elbow about broke off ulna, 6 weeks see if heals then most likely surgery and pins.
I know it hurt as for once he didn't drive himself to er, made son come home from work and take him. That literally never happens.
Real bad thing is he leans to the left and relies on cane on that side to keep from falling and that's the broke side now so falls will happen and make shit worse.
Too bad his kids are fuktards and other than bring him food they'll do exactly nothing to help.
Oh i have to work, oh I don't feel good, I'm going to somebody's house. .. Oh **** off you losers. Can't take time to help somebody who needs it and I'd just assume throw them in a hole. /rant off

Wife picked up a nail in a tire the other day. She took it to the tire shop this morning, and of course the nail is in the sidewall.

Can't replace just one tire, nope, gotta replace all 4.

Oh, and they checked the oil, because they're looking for cash to extract from me, to find that there is no oil showing on the dipstick.

@Strats-N-Vettes, if you're not man enough to drink that bourbon, I could use a shot or 3.

While you could not have prevented the nail, you could check her oil from time to time.

"Your heat exchanger is cracked" has got to be the #1 scam that sleazebag HVAC contractors pull to try and drum up business.

Fortunately it's trivial to test it yourself:

Also check the coolant, brake fluid, tire pressure and windshield fluid. My wife doesn't even know how to raise the hood.

Neither does mine. Car care is my job, not hers.
