I tired!!

aircougar1 · 03-10-2008, 03:48 AM

LONG day today!

Got outside @ Noon, and finished straightening out the carport, and moving stuff around. Swept up and was waiting for Mobilboy (Josh) to come over with his Cougar. he showed up just after 1pm.

We swapped struts, springs, brake pads and rotors all the way around, and swapped in a stock exhaust... Finished @ 9pm! So many small problems with rusty nuts and bolts, stripped threads, and eaten away Torx bolts! Got everything straightened out, and Damn, what a day!

Hope everything is still good Josh! Thanks for the BEER!

Everything is great! The ride is so much better and I'm not even getting any knocks or anything anymore even though I still need to replace some worn parts. Thanks again man... that turned out to be quite the job and I really appreciate you doing all that work!

Ok, so I lied a little. The knocks and rattles are still there... guess I just didn't notice them at first cause the ride isn't nearly as harsh. Oh well, it still rides 100x better than it did. I don't think I'll ever lower a car again... especially not a daily driver. I'll take ride comfort and convenience over a more aggressive stance and slightly better handling any day. Guess I'm just gettin old lol.

Well, you should know where just about everything is located in that carport by now!

Oh, and I've been pretty bad about going to work lately, but I'm still a bit depressed about my friend passing...

Everytime I watch the Simpsons, see a red Toyota Celica (2000), or see someone playing poker on TV, I think about him. its worse being at work, every square foot of that place makes me think of him, since we had been working there for over 6 years... uuuggghhh!

Haven't been to work since last Tuesday night, and I'm most likely going to get into some kind of trouble for being out for a 4th working day!! Oh well, they can BITE ME, for all I care right now...

I can't wait to start working on my freakin' Cougar...need stress relief!
