I don't get to brag about much, but I like repeating this every once in a while, I pay about $0.33 for a full tank of 91 octane... .

Avoid the REDS!

Actually several uprises have been fueled by rising the gas prices, so most governments are too coward to do just that. I would gladly pay 5X the current prices is everything worked better, but the corruption and crime here are just out of the chart.

Some floor pans. Have a couple spots that need attention and a couple other panels. Some weather stripping for the doors. Maybe some front springs.
They may seem expensive over there. I can get the floor both floor pans for about 20 bucks more than it would cost me for one here.

Hey guys, uhh so have any of you heard of a temp gauge that has a small copper tube filled with some smelly gas? And if you have, is that gas harmful?

In related news, I ripped out my old not working aftermarket temp gauge, it was easy to do and I did it while waiting for my little brother. Umm so I snipped the spring and tube going into the front of the block and it started hissing, I thought it was going to start leaking coolant till I realized, that smell was definitely not coolant. I don't really know how to describe it but it was weird. I have a picture of the "tube" but have to wait till I get home to post it.

Anywho, now I have a nice big hole in my dash instead of some crappy gauge .
