    So our dealership was sold to another group (it's a Hyundai dealer). We had interviews and drug tests where everything was fine, they wanted to keep everybody, they took over this Monday. So they make phone calls and offer a job to almost everyone except me and my younger son, this past...

    So may I introduce to you...Jasmine!

    She's a good little girl so far. We have a few things to work on but she is going to be just fine. She's a cross between a Cocker Spaniel and of all things a St. Bernard.

    Sweetie: adopted 03-2002 died 01-2010

    I'm absolutely heartbroken. I don't know what happened, we went to bed last night and when I woke up this morning she wasn't there. I found her in the computer room, she had already passed. She was my very special little girl, I'm going to miss her dearly.

    Do you all ever get ideas that won't go away?

    I have an overwhelming urge to build a Cummins 5.9 powered A body for drag racing. I've already got the Scamp going on and I don't need another project but dammit this idea just won't leave me alone.

    I want to give Summit Racing some props here

    I thought I was screwed. I ordered two new M/T slicks online Sunday. The site said they were in stock and would ship Monday. Well one did, from Ohio only I didn't realize it was only one. The other didn't get shipped until Tuesday out of Sparks, Nevada. The one from Ohio would get here Thursday...

    The first Cummins engine I've had to replace

    in all the time that Dodge has built them. The first ones were in 1989 (I bought one) and now I've had to replace a shortblock in one because it was knocking. This is only the second engine I personally have seen that has needed to be replaced. But if you go to the Ford dealer they have...

    It's time I came out of the closet!

    I bought a Ford! Here's the deal. Earlier this year I bought a new trailer for my race car, a 30 foot enclosed trailer. Now my tow vehicle (a 96 Dodge 3500 club cab dually V10) handles this chore without even a whimper. The problem is getting the trailer into my backyard where it has to be...

    I did it!

    I won the track championship this year. I get to race in the "Race of Champions" at the division finals this year. But I'm telling ya I should have been buying lotto tickets for Saturday night drawings the way my luck is going. I made final round appearances in the last four races and won...

    Power Tool Drag Racing!

    Has any one else seen this on TV besides me? Out of San Fransisco? Crazy stuff, unmodified, modified, ride on and unusual design categories. A 75 foot wooden track, a circular saw, some wheels and away you go. :D

    Well four years in mothballs didn't seem to hurt my car

    Went to the track today where it got loose on the first pass. I softened up the CalTracs and made another pass. Nice clean 10.901 pass with the front wheels about a foot off the ground at launch. I'm about 10 pounds heavier than when I raced it before so that really equates to a 10.801 on a...

    ...please say a prayer, think a good thought or pass on good wishes to Terry Schiavo. It doesn't really matter what side you are on in her struggles, she needs prayers, good thoughts or whatever you want to call it no matter which way it goes. If you are unfamiliar with her situation you can...

    I haven't raced since the end of 2001 when the track pissed me off really bad, anyway my boss wants to sponsor me and have me go back, how could I say no? Got new batteries, safety belts, big and littles coming Monday. I'll be putting new rod bearings in and I should be ready for the first...

    Tell your best work related screw up story!

    I'll go first. A little background first. We work on heavy trucks, tractor trailers, box trucks, conveyor trucks, bucket trucks, ladder trucks and by far our most frequently repaired trucks are the drywall crane trucks. These things are big 6 wheel drive trucks with cranes that can extend up...

    Second hurricane in less than 4 weeks

    At least I'm a little better prepared for this one, but it's still a PITA. And now there's another one coming behind this one. :( We lost power for 4 days when the last storm went through. We also lost 5 trees and part of my pool enclosure. This time I have two 5500 watt generators and 61...

    I can't believe I'm even considering this but...

    having to drive 40 miles one way to work is killing me on gas. My V10 gets about 11 MPG which is great, for a V10, but it sucks for a daily commuter vehicle. So I'm thinking about getting a ..GULP.. VW Jetta wagon with the 1.9L diesel. At 47 MPG and diesel to boot it would probably pay for...
