Me and Jen went fourwheeling today in queens gap...I had to pull the trailer with my dads old bronco
The poor 351 in it is shot, and the 3 speed C-6 doesnt help. It just feels awkward waiting for 4 gear changes and only getting two 
Ive been driving an SD ever since Ive had my drivers license....anything else is just wierd.

I got to the track and figured that i had about 5 gallons of 20/80 in the tank, and just sort of head figured that 2.5 gallons of pure methanol would make it around 50/50. When i blew it up and recalculated, it turned out too strong. Good calculations would have paid off, however i was too anxious to get out on the track to bother
