CURIOSITY?
Re: CURIOSITY?
I paid $3.05 for 89 octane this afternoon and was glad to do it. Man, it wasn't that long ago we were paying a buck. I don't know who's running this planet, but they are real SOBs. I feel like pavlov's dog, screw me over for 4 bucks a gallon for a while so I'll be happy to cough up three. thank you sir may I have another....
'89 Astro, 4.3L, TBI. Minor intake and exhaust mods. Rebuilt 700R4 trans (by me). Corvette servo, 0.5" boost valve, police grade 1-2 accumulator spring (shifts fast and solid). B&M stacked plate trans cooler. Bilstein shocks. Belltech sway bars front and back. New head unit, speakers and subwoofer. Needs paint and a new headliner.

I was driving Grumpy today parts running for my wife. Found $3.38 at Mobil and gave Grumpy 6 gallons. That should last about a month, unless I get the overdrive fixed and start driving it for more than parts runs.

YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE.

SOME PEOPLE ARE LIKE SLINKIES - NOT REALLY GOOD FOR ANYTHING BUT THEY BRING A SMILE TO YOUR FACE WHEN PUSHED DOWN THE STAIRS.
