Didn't go very well at the Title Place. Everyone was right, had to do a reinspection on the vehicle. No problem got that taken care of and went back over to the title place. They wouldn't transfer it because the name on the title didn't have Jr and he signed it Jr. Then they wouldn't except the date because she thought it said 8/20/11 instead of 16

So now i had to email him 2 things from the state that says everything is correct and he has to mail them back to me. So dad still can't drive it since the registration is out. I sent the previous owner $20.00 to paypal and he supposedly is sending the stuff over nite. Apparently all the county employees that don't like their job ends up at the dmv. I have never had luck going in there, this time was no exception. Bunch of rude old women that won't smile if their life depended on it.

Yeah -- when it comes to title work they scrutinize things pretty closely -- gotta have your p's and q's in order.....

5 star Revision 2 on the 91 perf tune. This damn thing pulls like a freight train low mid and high range. They also tweaked a little bit on the transmission to where it down shifts instantly when getting on the throttle and it just takes off.

averaging around 19.5 psi of boost. 0 to 60 right around 5 seconds.

Here is very light acceleration with maybe 1/8 throttle in town. Tires squeal in 1st and the 2nd gear chirp

I just did the cheapest repair ever on the 99 M Class. The oil pressure port seal had rotted and it was dumping about 2 quarts of oil a day out the bottom. 4 dollar tube of gasket maker and 3 dollar can of gunk and it's fixed. I may need to go buy a lottery ticket

I've never had to perform that repair on my '97 Cavalier -- so much for German engineering.......

I may need to find some king of "goo" to plug the leaks in the fuel line on my Cavalier. Although, it does only have 4 separate holes. Once I get more than 6 I'll start looking into fixing it

Tell me about it. I had 83 hours in last week and am already over my 40 for this week. I'm about ready for two 6 month vacations

I've had 3 very busy weeks in row. Flagged 103, 105, 95 hrs in the last 3 weeks. Was actually at work for probably 55-60 hours each of those weeks

I guess misery loves company -- I've been working like a dog lately as well! All this rain here in Texas has had me jumping from one end of the state to the other with no time off on the weekends! The only good thing is that I am racking up some SERIOUS mileage money right now -- should end-up with around $2200 dollars in "net" mileage reimbursement these last two months after I pay for gas.....

I don't want to jinx myself, but we're also on track for a pretty hefty annual bonus this year -- between that and my mileage money I will have a tidy stack of cash burning a hole in my pocket! The only problem is, the only thing I want is another car and I don't have any more storage room for another vehicle......
