I can't really complain about mine. the engine is about to drop out, but the body is in near mint
condition. it's a 1982 Dodge 400 sedan w/2.6L Mitsubishi engine (yes, the one with the _bad_
carburator). it may leak a little coolant and gas (both into the oil pan), and have worn out timing
chain guides (makes a nice sound at high rpm), but it rides nice, has working AC, a good stereo
(cause i installed it) and speakers, and it even has electric adjustable seats. pretty good for a
$500 car. I must say though, the side mirrors are lethal as they are too small, and the back of the
car causes a huge blind spot about 15 - 20' wide @ 35' out.

wood was brought in.

It's amazing the kindness of strangers sometimes. i think i should be able to move most of the stuff
over from my current bike, though i will keep the gesture in mind should i have a compatibility
miss-match somewhere.

I'm thinking i will give my old frame to a friend of mine who has a god- awful ugly wal-goose.
either that or see if i can sell it on ebay to some unsuspecting person ;-)

I find it interesting that the same group that provides several hair singing posts, can also hold
some truly good people. its an interesting world we live in. Makes me humble enough to wonder if i
am deserving of such kindness when i so rarely return it. I only hope that i can return the
kindness in some way. but i bet there is somebody just itching to post "you can return the kindness
by not *****ing anymore". at least i wont have anymore reason to ***** about my bike, and i can
work on the rest.

So again, i thank you for the offer, but i think i will wait to see what i have that fits and
what doesn't.

You dummies.

1) The movie is not called "Play it Forward"

2) The movie stank. Like, really really stupid. Like made Douglas Sirk melodramas look smart.

3) I was going to make a joke here about the movie being "Play it to the Bone", but decided you
wouldn't get it.

4) obBike: going riding now.

I' know It's PAY it forward. But you obviously knew what he was talking about. Correction

That is your opinion. And you're welcome to it. But you're wrong.

Thanks for looking out for us. Now, go play with your own bone. Thank you very much.

Damn, you are slow. I've already been, got back. Cleaned my bike, relubed the chain. Trued my
rear wheel. Had some wonderful homemade mexican food. Had a few cold ones. Ready for a nice cool
Sunday evening.
