My previous build thread, with a different vehicle currently has.....305,693 views, with no known offended people...

I'm pretty much impossible to offend. Really the only thing that offends me is when the PC police try their best to take away peoples constitutional rights.

Wow......Reversing the trend!
Most folks unload those right from the start.
They're known as 'shovels' in some circles as they just fill up with soil and such......basically what ever your driving over.

Soooooo......prior to said road trip, conversed with ol'Scouts' about dinosaur oil.......after a small lecture, convinced he was smarter than myself, knowing the pro's & con's of hitch hiking, and pretty much would follow his lead if he told me rubbing bee's wax on my tail lights would make my head lights brighter.......I did the following......

So that complete.....wife jumped in it to beat the post office to ship some small items only to be stranded......no start issue....Jumped in the handy Honda, hammer in hand....tapped the starter with the handle, shimmied the wires for good measure....BAM! Knowing something needed attention, found time 10 hours in advance of departure to look under her skirt......Only to find the starter has a chastity belt.....WTH??? Bla Bla Bla, won't bore you......found a bad wire connection, wire WAY to taunt.......Pig tailed & fixed!


Bag it & tag it.........On The Road!


Had a minor/major issue around mile 77 at over 70mph......dog/bang/dog.......lowered my speed and everything was okay after a pull over and a few high rev's through the Hooker.........we carried on..........400plus miles later, found ourselves at one of our favorite No-Tell Motels in the Pennsylvania Mountains complete with orig. pink neon from the 50's.......

I'm a believer!!!
