I do have a new buddy to hang out with though. This is Henry. Does that count as a project?

RaggedGT · Jul 3, 2016

Glad to see you are healing up buddy, and you got a little garage buddy now

Straight line performance wise how does the new car compare to the turbo car-I know handling-braking-overall ride is better lol

Well, until my knee heals up, driving that new gt is about as project as it's gonna get. I did hit 150 mph in it today.. How's that? Thanks for the compliment bud.

I'll bet it didn't take long to get it up to 150! I want to go test drive a new GT and see how well it handles.

Thanks man.

The new car is nowhere as fast as the turbo car, it weighs 600 lbs more and makes about 100 less hp than the fox, but it's still a hoot to have as a daily. Those coyotes are some free revving sweeties man. It just doesn't have the grunt the snail boosted fox does. But guess what? It starts EVERY TIME I've hit the start button, lol.

Little longer than the fox like i was telling Raggedy, but still a delight. Smooth free revving power. Love it, love it, love it!

Boredom.

I now have to find a girlfriend. What will my wife say?

RaggedGT said:
Same award- don't think my wife will approve either.... lol

So long as your GF knows about your wife, you're in the clear.

Until you're not.

Post the outcome in SW.

No really.... Especially if there's a cat fight.

How are you able to drive any manual trans car w/ staples in your knee?

It's my right knee. If it were my left it would be different.. But heel toe doesn't really hurt, neither does slight bending. Walking hurts more.

Edit: Also- I got the staples out last Monday.

My dad fell off a ladder a ladder a few years ago and broke both wrists. Now he has metal plates in his wrists / arms so he can't bend his hand / wrist up and down. (Like the motion you would do for the throttle on a motorcycle...)

He still rides his motorcycle every chance he gets. I guess what I'm trying to get at, is, if there is a will, there is a way, and a man has got to do what a man has got to do.

Well, I took a road trip today. A buddy of mine dropped by to use the press yesterday to assemble a waterpump for the old John Deere I used on the dirt work for the shop. He was off work on vacation so I ventured up to his place outside of Eagle Lake, Texas... To visit, and hand him tools. It's about a 75 mile shot down some great open country road, some nice and twisty.

Anyhoo, this is my pal Jim. He's like my big brother. This is one of the guys that taught me how to wrench on cars. (Also shown the tractor mentioned)..

Say hi, Jim!

Water pump in, back in business!

Few more pics..

That's my old Chevy Apache back there with the donkeys.

He's got all kinds of cool stuff laying around here..

Ford 9N

I will eventually steal this bandsaw. Note the other fun stuff...

After watching Jim piddle with the tractor he decided we needed to ride over to El Campo TX to pick up a battery and a trailer tire on the way. So, I limped over to his pickup and we went for a ride. Moar pics of that in a bit.

Getting better. Doc says I need to be off work another two weeks before I can lift or climb, etc, etc.

This is where we stopped for the trailer tire. This place cracked me up, waaaaay out in the middle of nowhere in a little farm community called Garwood TX. Larry('s) food store. Here you can get beer, pizza, payroll checks cashed, firestone farm tires, auto service, and 18 wheeler parts and service..

Awesome.

Some antique tractors at a place back in town at Eagle Lake.

This thing is a two cylinder that ran on propane.

Made in 1954.

1923

Antique turf tire
Not foxbodies, but I think this stuff is cool, so I thought I'd share.

Ohh,.......So this is where the buffalo roam, and the deer and antelope play.

Well, used to. No antelope in this area either unless they are on a high fenced game ranch. Deer are everywhere though. I haven't hunted in about ten years, but when I used to, this is where I went.

Well, judging from the pics, I'm calling BS.

The skies are clearly cloudy, and I didn't see any buffalo.

** Edit, and now that I look at it again,..I'm sure that guy that had to air up a flat tractor tire had a few discouraging words that were heard.

Haha, yeah. We traded the buffalo for clouds.
