    They were making a cracking/popping noise when I drove over rapid transitions like speed bumps.

    Pretty cool that he has a ride along and tagalong pit crew. Wonder what he does if he ever goes out solo?

    I came to the conclusion that the Rat-MINI is dead (for now) today.

    Popped the head gasket.

    Well the gremlin is due to be picked up tomorrow... Total for fixes ONKY 650 versus the $1000 they initially thought. Fixed thermostats and coils which cleared the o2 sensor codes and she will be back in the garage tomorrow for a good detailing. Side note may not be parking her in garage sons Chevy is getting new steering colon and yah.... So much for that.

    Oh it's just down for now... I will NEVER give up on that car! It's part of me... It's just going to have to sit for a while and evolve into more badassery.

    Sure it sucks, because show season is just starting, and there's a lot of things I wanted to do this year, along with the Porker might have to go to the Dragon again next year, but it's far from the end of the world.

    When you build it, and use it to every bit of what it's capable of, you will break stuff... Just part of the life.

    Which layer are you talking about?
    The shelf in the back of his lair has many layers...
    The top layer has gallon jugs of secret sauce bought in bulk...
    The next layer down in his lair has lots of pump bottles to spray secret sauce...
    The next layer down appears to have a small furnace filter???

    I especially like the selection of whips hanging next to the fan... Maybe there should be an explanation for those?
