o.o

hang in there you fallen so far only way left is up!
but you still can take a .45 and call me in the morning, i hate when people miss the first time.

.... Have you considered investing in a block and tackle? Better than nothing for hoisting up an engine...

Seriously though, that sounds unpleasant...

At least you could lift a Subaru engine. If hate to see what it would take to even try to shift the block in my SS for engine mounts. O.o)) It'll definitely take rack time at a garage, they have the lift and insurance. Think Silverado - but with just enough room between the fenders to change plug wires, plugs and coil packs. Beats the murano though...these things need to have so much taken out of them to do a basic tune up. And if you miss step, you break the windshield.

Lol, worst thing for me on the Subaru I used to own was draining and refilling the center differential. Had to use a flexible metal tube funnel to reach the fill port, two extensions with a u-joint swivel. And almost always, I find the rear differential has a fill plug that always managed to freeze in place until I discovered liquid Teflon thread sealant.

I'm almost finished up on the essentials for my SS, rebuilt the front brakes yesterday in the heat that had sweat dripping off my chin onto just cleaned rotors. Later today, I'll tackle the rear brakes and adjust the parking horseshoes, bleed the whole system. Then I just got to wait on the new tires to ship in. ^.^

We'll today was a wash. Turns out nearly everything that could go wrong with the rear brakes did go wrong. Seized pins. The shop that sold me the pads for the part wrong. The right page are on back order, finding them after not finding any listings under a SS model, but under Chevy 1500 silverado Heavy Duty. The seized carrier and pins, also back ordered. So my truck sits on stands and Jack in the driveway until they arrive. Luckily they expedite shipping to store, and the gas to go to out and pick up the parts is cheaper than the same shipping direct to home overnight.

That SS is a blast to drive. Worth the wait, pain and sweat. ^.^

<.<...>.>...Feels weird, slow and too quiet borrowing mum's impala though. I want my truck back on the road. :p

*just laughs* Sillyvix. Arctic vix in a black sexy truck. Leanin' out the window hollering' at the rednecks....GIT OFF MAH ROAD!

I hate being the victim of the ones in ford super duties with wife open 5" exhaust "rolling coal" past me at full throttle. Mum's car is silver so it gets sooty. I play with them in the SS, just cracking the throttle a little too keep ahead of them and off my tailgate. ^.^

At least the emissions are intact on my rig,the air injector pump still works too and is still CA emissions compliant. So it is a clean getaway, they only see a flash of tails and I am gone...no smoke, fumes or sign I was ever there. As any good fox should be. Quick. Invisible. Lol!
