You should come out Sarge.

I'll be in the No Electronics running my IROC

I haven't driven the car since Pinks came in mid October. Started it up a few days ago though!!!! Can't wait to run in some good air (hopefully). Temps show a high of 74 with a slight chance of rain.

You guys always wait until I'm out of town.. .. .. Oh well, no 3rd gear would make it less fun for me anyway.

So today I was checking the tires, putting some air in.. checking the fluids. I started it up about a week ago after sitting for a little over 2 months untouched, no issues. I go to start it today, I notice the oil pressure doesn't go where it normally does. I keep watching it and within 30 seconds, it drops down to 0. I killed it instantly. I get out of the car (note: the car sits inside the garage) and I see what looks like oil pouring out from underneath the car. I jacked it up, and found out the oil filter was bad and it was leaking from there. What kind of **** is that when the car has been sitting for 2 1/2 months, go to start it the 2nd time, and the oil filter decides it doesn't want to work anymore? The oil and oil filter had only been on the car for approximately 6 months, and driven maybe 150 miles max during that time period. It was a Motorcraft filter. Put a Wix filter on instead. Everything is good now. I'm glad this happened today, and not tomorrow morning when I would of ran out of time to fix it most likely, and would be joked out of racing!

Cliffnotes: car fucked up on its own, I fixed it a day early. Now I can go racing with hopefully zero problems!

Congrats to both of you! My car never made it off the jack stands. The converter is stuck in lock up. TCC valve in pump is jammed. Cant get it move. Gotta pull the tranny. Next time I guess!
