Angry Got smoked by a Montero....

yea you read the title right...

so... i'm at the red light, and this girl is blaring her rap crap windows rolled down... ya know, acting the part

She looks over at me and says something... didn't hear her at first... had to turn down my radio

She said "nice mustang.... can you drive it?"

The whole time i'm thinking WTF?

I responded.... "eh.... this is my beater"

she's all.... "that's not what I asked.... can you drive it?"

I said... "yea, I can drive it..."

Light turned green and she dusted me...




GAWD I need to get my TA FIXED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm guessing she thought I had the V8 version or something... either way, getting dusted by a Montero made me feel like I had itty bitty *****...

dunno really... i haven't drove it in like 2-3 months... pretty much since i picked it up from Cali last....

it's got some sputtering issues at the high RPM range... like it's starving for fuel, or has a spark problem or something... it's really weird... didn't start till after the new 36# Injector/Volant CAI install... In case it's something detrimental, i don't wanna take the chance of driving it a whole lot till I figure out the problem... but i still start it and let her warm up to operating temp for about 15 minutes every couple weeks... ya know... just so she's not sitting... that's never good...

I've also gotta somehow rig up something to hold my radiator back correctly... the Volant, isn't supporting it and my power steering hose got cut in half by my belts...

I've got a few small leaks from under the car... looks like oil, power steering, and transmission fluid...

the power steering fluid of course is coming from the cut hose... not sure why the oil and transmission leaks are taking place... they are small but of course shouldn't be there at all...

i dunno... being basically unemployed right now, and my GF just getting laid-off... the TA has really dropped low on my priority list right now... so it stays parked, till I have time, money, tools, and a place to fix it...

I get that! AND I DRIVE A V6 (decidedly not a beast)! Granted, most people think it's a V8 from looking at it.

I thought about it... but I'm weighing which would be more painful

calling up SlowVette or not driving the car....

******* sucks having a slow car. Although I did run door to door with this 4.6 F-150 a while back... Shut it down at like 45....

Have you gotten the bird tuned?
