Default Going Nuts!

Well I dropped my car off at the shop yesterday for the tranny build and I'm already going nuts not having it. I don't have anything else to drive right now so that sucks, but I want to drive the dang thing with the stall in it! Bad part is I got a call and the shop had been sent the wrong kit to build it with, it was a stage lower than what I wanted so it won't be done til Thursday! But its ok, I'm still kinda bummed because my plan was having the new motor in before, until stuff got weird w/the shortblock I got sent. I'm still really skeptical about the stall and the difference it will make, I just want it back!

It probably won't make you feel any better, but the only time I left my house today was to mail some bills, fill my truck up with gas, and to pick up a pizza. The rest of the day I've spent working on freelance, posting on here, and laundry

The temps are in the teens and headed for the single digits, so I haven't really wanted to go outside much. I'm ready to get my 'bird out on the road soon....haven't driven it since the middle of November

So to ease the pain, I've been keeping myself busy with work. Also buying stuff for the car has helped too...now I await the chance to install everything.

Lakewood driveshaft loop
BMR tubular subframe connectors
BMR lower control arms
BMR adjustable panhard bar
BMR tb bypass
MBA cylinder head plate
Air canister decal
Optima Battery
Optima Batter top cover
custom-made pcm cover

Ok, now I feel better
