Drove it to work. I'm about to get in it and drive it to lunch. Then I'll get in it and drive back to work. Then finally, I'm thinking I'll drive it home after work. You guys sensing a theme here?

Oh oh I take the cake.... switched out tranny mount again and started to pull out the old header gasket when I accidently rammed a screwdriver through my finger. LOL...

I guess working until 2:30 in the morning counts as work today. That's when I finished pulling my dash and removing anything HVAC related. Without the dash in, the car just looks faster.

I looked at it and said to it as I walked by it to get in my Jeep. The 'Bird doesn't get much love this time of year. I've put about 40 miles on it since the beginning of Feb. I just take it out for a ride every 2 weeks or so if the roads aren't too salty.

It's supposed to be nice tomorrow, so I'm taking it out. If it gets over 40, the tops are coming off, lol.
