Default This sucks..

Two more weeks. Two more weeks...

I've got two more weeks till I get my truck fixed. And it sucks. I've got one plug that's fucked, and I think I just fucked up another this week. And wouldn't ya know it? I've had a SS Camaro and a cammed GT Mustang challenge me in the last three days. My roomie just borrowed my truck and a guy in a WS6 wanted a piece of him. Thankfully he didn't run. Where were these guys awhile back, when she was running great?

Oh well, I'll change the plugs Sat. But, unfortunately, I'm gonna be putting on some other stuff that requires a tune, and that won't happen till the 18th. So I'll still have another week of babying the damn thing. I just wanna stomp it, but I don't think I'd like the results.

Two more weeks. Two more weeks...

Then the fun begins again.

I fucked up the first plug in the beginning of Dec.

Been goin easy on it ever since. One of those things where I didn't have the time, then the holidays, and now with the tune session coming up, I've just been putting it off. Tell ya what tho.

The day after I get tuned, you better believe I'm gonna go find those three. I'm pretty sure they're all local, the only exception being the SS. Haven't seen him too often, so who knows.

Sal = Yes
St. Pete = No
As far as Mods - "I'll never Tee-elll".


Maybe after I see results I'll post em up, but for right now, I'm not gonna say, because if I'm not happy with them, rest assured they'll be changin, quickly. I'll be right around you to start tho.

Two more weeks..
