!!BLINK!!
i just remembered...the other day, when i drove the bus, with the EVIL 40
horsey in it, and it ddint quite make it..<the rings on 1 shot to shit,
and took the side of piston with them, and was about to on 4, and welded
the cylnders <both> the the heads..> say one bus on the way up before
engine stoped due to the oil blowing in the carb <from crankcase
breather> and they waved...
then, on the way home, and the enigne finially when to caputeshitnhell
and wouldnt run no more, TWO VW's passed, me while on side of road. w/
hazards on..and a bug behind me w/ oil and bits of engine all over the
front of it..(friend followed me home to make sure i made it. didnt.) one
that passed was, get this! A SPLIT! oh! i twas a bit pissed!!! then a
late 60's bug.
Neither one waved, stoped or anything!!
anyway...
of course, on my way up, i passed a Vanagon on side of road, he was just
putting the spare on. i honked, waved and began to slow, on I-520, and he
waved and then waved m on..so i went..he seemed to hae it under control,
with a old ford minitruck in front, and a 80xs station wagon behind..
anyhow..that engine...
havent had a car in two months!! sucks.
;excuse weird things. at a friends computer, and i think the dansh just
kicked in.
odd....
