1st look underneath. Seems okay, not fluid all over the floor anyways.
2nd pop hood check oil
Then check trans stick..it's popped out of the tube.
Stick looks bad.
Clutch mats present?
Fudge.
.I hate 700s.

3rd _right to the TV cable.
Looks straight?
Check the tension on the cable at the throttle and.....watch the mother fxckin Thang pull through the plastic clip it attaches with.
Omg.

O.M.Mfg!
Pulled right through it. Broken.

Thought about it a little bit..
Found a small pair of d y k e s in some stuff the other day and whupped em out to cut the end off.
Bout 1/4 " too long - will NEVER hold adjustment again like that.

I stomped on the pedal one time and effing broke it?
Poor Camaro gots it ruff, lemme tell ya.
HOPE the trans will take it. Wasn't but 3.7 miles no traffic @ 3am.

Now I'm waiting for the hardware store to open so I can install a cable lock??
Reckon that's what I'm gonna do.

(See pix)

Well, after I walk a mile one way and back. Then I think I'll change the trans filter in the C20. Might drive it with a bad tag if I gotta. Of course the plans are to buy it Monday..

Worked 8 hrs last night , it's gonna be a long day. Bedtime is around 0900 which is when they open.

Did I play that Beastie Boys song?
Oh good. :) it's perfect right now.
Helluva way to start the day! Good thing you guys are here. :waytogo:

Poor car has been broke like that for how long? This answers great mysteries about this car. Owned it six years and I'm STILL FIXING IT! Great.

Painted it first. :nono:

Well, that little deal is doin ok. I got the extra length out but there is something else goin on. It's in the garage now, I'm done for. Thinkin I got the weekend off.
Earned it.
Last week was the suck.

Some drunken jackass pulled a gun on me - 02:00 - EASTER MORNING and has forced me to question my life choices.

My boss told me I should get a car made in this decade.
With all due respect Sir?
F vck you. :rolleyes:
