Itās been 9 months and 17 days since my last post apparently.
Lol. Welcome back
Well look who dragged in, welcome back.
Thanks . Not going to lie I straight up forgot about this place. I happened to open the email I use for this and it had a bunch of notification things from here.
But we didnāt forget about you
Mustāve been a ton of them, Forum pretty much badgers people who havenāt logged in every month XD
The newer ones were being flagged as spam
Well Iāve just added this place to my bookmarks and made an entry for it in my password manager. Also added a no spam flag to the forumās email
As everything from this forum should be.
Or just you
no u
Well, since youāve been gone Iāve been in Texas, bought a 1965 car, drove said car back to WI after tech school and then drove to CA which is where I am now lol. Also I have a Volvo and a Civic now.
And uhh yeah.
Lately, moved partially to a friendās and setup my audio gear here
And also got some free furniture here. Because reasons.
Also in other news just started actually working this week which is nice.
Thatās a hell of a lot of driving.
Something around 3600 miles, lol. 1300 of which was in a car with no cruise or heat/AC
In that same time frame Iāve traveled a little more then twice that, but that was by plane
That sounds like absolute shit
ur fine not like you a southerner or something
It was in October so not too bad as far as temp wise. Rain was annoying because the wipers also didnāt work rofl but I had rainx on it so still could see and everything.
The cruise control was vaguely annoying.
I also discovered when I got back and my grandpa who has all the tools to fix it, that one cylinder wasnāt even firing and 3 others had loose spark plugs lmao but after finding that I put in nice iridium spark plugs and my grandpa cleared the crap out of the one cylinder so now it runs wayyyy better. But I was lucky on the way up.
Surprisingly it got 16-18 mpg even with all the stuff wrong though, not bad for a 1965 v8 pulling 3000lbs of station wagon.
Sounds like by all rights that things shouldnāt have been able to make that trip
What can I say, when I set to do something I do it lol. Even if I was running a car without any safety features, manual brakes, Manual steering, and above issues rofl. And that was after a completely rebuilt transmission and brand new tires so at least that wonāt break anytime soon.
But now my mechanic grandpa is restoring it back In WI for when I sell it or take a week off to drive it here, whichever happens first. Because of gas here it probably wonāt be here in CA until I can afford it, probably a couple years from now. But if I do sell it when itās restored, itās a $15k or so car so.
