Thanks for the link.

Maybe if I already owned both, wrecked the Lambo and had the parts just laying around afterwards....

the worst part about having to stay at the office past 5 is that if I leave anywhere from now till roughly 6:45 I'll get stuck in bumper to bumper traffic a la LA freeways where it takes 30-40 mins to go 2 miles.

Kill me.

Camaro/Mustang/Challenger are not sports cars, though they're sporty.

No. You might as well stay and get another couple of hours work done -

OR

Stop off at a bar, find a woman that started drinking in the afternoon, convince her that she is too drunk to drive and give her a ride back to your place - to sober up -

Your call -

I do it every night, and every night I thank God for the EPA and catalytic converters.

There have been a handful over the years. Corvette remains of course, but historically I'd say Cobra, Viper, Ford's GT...


yeah, not many. They've been designed, but very infrequently make it to production.

Well folks, it's time for my back surgery, to hopefully cure my constant back pain caused by spinal stenosis. They will perform a laminectomy-laminotomy, which is going into the spine and chopping, burning and cutting away stuff, that is putting pressure on my spinal cord, causing almost constant pain.

Now, what could go wrong there -

Just in case the operation doesn't go well, I have a few automotive things to leave to you folks.

@Tcoat - I leave my timing light

@Ultramaroon - I leave my dwell meter

@Sapphireho - I leave my set of feeler gauges


The rest of you, I leave the rest of my tools. First come first served.

Hopefully, I'll check back into the forum in a few days.

This is part of the reason I go home after 7 every day. Though LA traffic is much worse than anything I'd deal with most days. Maybe you should move to the east coast.
