Nice first car. My grandson wants a 4x4 pickup with a shell on the back. A truck for fishing.

Nothing wrong with that either. I think its better to get them involved doing work on cars and trucks then staying in their room on an X-box. I think his first project will be changing bulbs and wiper blades!

Bologna sandwich for brunch at 11am and just had some Tabasco Hot Pepper Jelly on crackers for a snack. Spaghetti and meatballs for a family supper when the grandson gets his big surprise.

Passed through Ocala a number of times but never saw the museum. He has to be in his mid 80's now and definitely was a pioneer in drag racing.

Pulled up to the gas station for my weekly fillup. There was a old man in his 80s pumping gas in his f150. He commented on how clean my truck was and got to talking. His is a 12 EB bought brand new and sitting at 102k miles. He said it ran perfect until 100k and now it shakes real bad and he's getting 8mpg.

I asked when the last time he changed plugs and he said never!! Told him to get a set of plugs put in and it will be back to normal. He stated he didn't want to get screwed at a mechanic shop so I gave him my number and told him id change em for free. He seemed very happy! Can't wait to see what 100k plugs look like, they are probably sitting at .055

I love my EB's but cant imagine one being able to get 100k out of plugs. All i got was 40k out of my first set.
