    I'm not sure about the rest of you but every single time I turn around, my '76 Trans Am seems to have it's glove box open asking for more money in preparation for the run.

    I won't say how much I've had to sink into what I thought was a rock-solid car needing little to hit the road, but this little rant will give you at least a bit of an idea...

    On the twelve day before the Bandit Run, my Trans Am demanded of me

    Twelve gallons of 93 octane
    Eleven ethanol resistant fuel lines
    Ten new CDs spinning
    Nine days at the mechanic
    Eight spark plugs sparking
    Seven days of painting
    Six hours of waxing
    Five quarts of oil
    Four BFGs
    Three brand-new fan belts
    Two radiator hoses
    And a sending unit in my tank (not free)


    If you want to figure out who I am on the run, just look for the guy with an open guitar case singing the blues and taking donations. biggrin image

    Yeah, here too.. the rim I needed turns out the shop can't get.. and took them 3 weeks to tell me after they billed me.. my line lock isn't going well... my transmission went out... I somehow misplaced my lugnut key for my rims.. so I can't get the new set for the run like I wanted.. just seems to be one thing after another... frown image

Maybe Nats if the gas prices dont force me to sell just so i can afford to buy gas. banghead image punch image the oil companies need to get a grip!!! Glad to see you are going to make it Robert, have enough fun for me too.
