I was talking about these specific engines because these cars all have them. I still see tons of them. We even had one at the shop to fix the quarter a month ago. A really clean car and the old guy paid to have the dent fixed because he loves that car.
Usually this was only encountered after rebuilding the heads because the soft cast heads wore out real fast in the holes for the valve stems. You jerk them off
This one is beautiful. Looks like the owner just paid big bucks to have a new engine installed not too long ago and the car only has 40k on it. Yikes.
Would that be for tooling down the strip?
Hell yeah
He was driving somewhere early one Sunday morning with my nephew, and came to a stop at the intersection SB on 136th Ave, turning EB onto Mill Plain Blvd. When the light turned green, he set off through the intersection in the turn, lost control (more on that in a minute), spun out, hopped the curb in front of the Wells Fargo and absolutely destroyed a bus stop that was there.
I'm glad your father and your nephew were okay but seeing the car like that makes me very sad.Unfortunately, he totaled the Aston.
Nobody was hurt, and thank God nobody was at the bus stop at the time. It really messed my father up mentally and emotionally though. He had flash-backs to his first wife drowning; that sort of thing. He needed a while with his counselor and some medication monitoring. But he's okay now.
It turns out the tires were absolute crap. Cheap, no-name-brand Bangladeshi-made tires that weren't very grippy. Something which I pointed out to him the first day I saw the car (about the country of origin of the tires....I had never heard of reputable tires coming from Bangladesh). Of course, we couldn't prove this, but considering the road conditions were dry, and the tires were warm, then I'm not sure what else it could have been. He swears he didn't gun the car during the turn, and considering how careful he is around his 12 year-old grandson, then I believe him.
And considering he was never cited, then I must assume the officers felt the same way.
The passenger side was fine. He had it towed up to an exotic car dealership in Seattle that was working on bits of his car at the time (new roof pistons), along with his insurance agent, and it just wasn't worth repairing.
I loved that car. Sigh.
Oh yes. We have a good shop near us that my father likes to take the car to. I also take it up to Valvoline, and they do all the works.
I'm going to look into this, thanks.
Very nice! I personally am not into the whole bling thing, but I think it's nice enough how it stands. I'll have to take some pictures of mine when I get it tomorrow and post them here.
If there is anything I would do to mine, it's fix the rear bumper (it's a bit banged up), and either rebuild or replace the motor with a new Northstar, which are still being sold. It has brand new fuel injectors, so the engine is fine as it is and very smooth. But I still wouldn't mind tearing it down to the bones and replacing things as needed. It's got 121K miles on it after all.
I would also have the stereo updated. It works, but it's the original tape deck from 1997. I would like an updated unit that I can plug my phone into and play my music.
Other than that, it's in very good shape. The vinyl leather roof was installed by a professional upholstery shop a few years ago, along with the gold and silver rivets that hold it in place. It looks beautiful....waaayyy better than the original fabric cloth roof that it replaced. It was also just in the shop, has a new battery, and updated circuitry/computer. All desperately needed.
There's nothing like a giant American sedan to make you feel secure on the road.
No amount of bondo is gonna make your son's piece of shit rent a rim cadillac worth more than 1500. Or keep it out of the junkyard like all of these (not wrecked)
Now that really hurts, although I'm pleased you compare us to victims of Bundy that he loved. You were one of my favorite ass holes.So, without going into details, I'm bleeding a lot from my dangly part. As of about 40 minutes ago.
I feel fine, but it's pretty concerning. So I'm going to take a shower and drive down to my urologist. Hopefully he can see me without an appointment. Same guy I saw back during the summer for the same issue; only then it was far less blood and a "monitor it and come back in if it continues" diagnosis.
Well, it did continue at varying times, but I dismissed it. Kinda hard to ignore it now.
Not sure what it could be, but I'm getting over a flue virus which, as of last night, has also caused my hemorrhoids to flare up. It's not that, obviously, but my stomach did start hurting as well.
So I'm either going to bleed to death from my dick, or from my ass. I don't think anyone since Elvis has ever died from that, and I would prefer not to be next.
So, if I die, I just want all of you to know.....
I hate most of you.
Don't feel bad. It's my way of giving tough love. I'm sure even Ted Bundy loved his victims.
@SlyPokerDog you get my gun magazine collection and my cigars. Bring a box truck. And try not to bury them in the garden. Damn dog.
@bodyman5000 and 1 gets my Cadillac SLS. She's got 121,000 miles on her....be gentle.
@rasheedfan2005 gets my guns.
@BonesJones gets my watercooler and my 9er gear. I still owe him $10, so that should cover it.
@dviss1 you get my Darron Thomas bobblehead and all of my kitchenware.
@riverman gets my books. It's manga and sci-fi.
The rest of you little bastards can fight over the scraps.
And no graffiti on my casket. Or I will haunt you for the rest of your days.
@SlyPokerDog DID YOU HEAR THAT, SLY? I'M A FAVORITE ASSHOLE!
You'll NEVER be ANYONE'S favorite asshole, Sly!
You don't know what you're missing. Some things are worth a bleeding dick. Not a whole lot of things, just some things.
Update....
So I just got back from the Urologist. I had a scope done.
Never. Again.
That was one of THE most deeply unpleasant things I've ever been through. If my screaming didn't scare off the other patients, then the gore I left behind on the table would probably take care of that.
Good news is.....no major issues to report. No cancer, no major trauma of any sort, etc etc. There's some irritation in there that may have been caused by an injury or....something....and that is likely causing the bleeding.
Now I'm at home, sitting naked on a towel on my recliner, while I mop up my bleeding cock with a tissue. Probably for the next couple of days.
Props to my doc....he thinks the Blazers are gonna win this in 6. That's optimism for you.
So, sorry to disappoint you all, but I ain't going nowhere. And none of you little heathens get my shit!
Oh God, my poor fucking cock is broken....
You deserve a game one victory for your pain!!!Update....
