    Yup, Mmmmhmmm. Yep. Dang ole, yo man.

    1990 MGM: $50 E7 heads, HO cam, Holley SysteMAX lower intake, HO upper intake with an Explorer TB. LSC ECM. Lincoln logs into stock dual exhaust. K&N drop in air filter. Wide ratio AOD, 2400 converter with a 3.08 one tire fire out back. Car is less slow now. Then there's the '92 Beater. Dual 2.25" exhaust with shiny tips. Rumbles nice. Super slow. Burns oil too.

      yes and no. I work on cars there. We drink "beer" (or whatever) inside the garage or house while sitting on comfy chairs. There is no standing.

        Btw sucks about that little accident, lucky it wasn't too bad, could have hit the wheels and cracked the rim or ripped the tire.

        I need to get a dash cam for my cars. People try stupid stuff like that all the time, they think they have the right to move over when they want and you're obligated to let them over. I can't believe when people do that to me in a box truck and especially tractor trailers.

        Hope that guy acknowledged he was at fault, if not he'll have a tough time disputing the video.

          His insurance acknowledged it and paid me just under total for it (so I don't have to do that BS paperwork again). $1500 and change when I get the check in the mail (should be today). I'll probably order parts unless someone can come up with a white 88-91 MGM header panel. The vic panels won't work because the grill is a different size.

              Get junkyard parts and paint to match, put as much of that as you can in savings.

                      Oh yes. Been waiting for the Mad Marquis' finishing touches! Love how the MAD part is shiner than the MARQUIS part. You know where to put the emphasis!

                        kinda just turned out that way as the badge for cut up (was already broken) was shinier than the old one.

                            Good thing you were able to get money for the MGM and reapir it. Otherwise, I would come down there myself and testify in court on your behalf. You know, eye-patch and neck brace routine.
