Space in the garage helps too. And like the items you mention, I have none.

Garage? Ha. Do that shtein in your front yard, without a shirt on. If you are going to do it, do it right. The grass and soil is excellent at catching all that old gear oil.

Is this about what yours sounds like?

That's pretty much it. But you don't get the real tone of it at speed, especially from the cabin. Maybe I'll try and make a clip before too long.

Gotta like the blower whine on that Cobra.

I'm pretty car stupid myself, but I ain't that dumb.  Give me a little credit.

Alright, alright.  When you finally screw up the balls to change your own oil but you need someone to check your work, lemme know.

Actually, I can change my own oil.  I also wear big boy underwear too.

Did that guy actually just set his camera on the ground and flim himself driving around a parking lot?  Who was that guy anyway, Uncle Rico? 

[Susquehanna Birder]

Looks that way. Apparently he has no friends.

That blower whine is music to my ears. I had a crummy Powerdyne BD-11 w/9psi and Powerdynes are not whiners, so I was disappointed. They're belt-driven vs. the gear driven ones like Vortech, etc. It had a little chirp to it when I would get into it and then the blow-off would sneeze.

Another thing I miss about Killeen/Ft.Hood is that on the base they had a craft shop where you could rent a bay with a lift and every tool at your side. Pay a couple a bucks an hour and the bay is yours. Saves the back and is so much easier.

Gear oil is some nasty smelling shtein for real. Especially old burnt up shtein.

Sometimes it can be a bitch to get the big ass nut off of there. On one car it took several us taking turns with a sledge hammer to beat the shtein out of it to get it out.

[Susquehanna Birder]

I've heard the hammer thing works, but the right way is with a press, right?

[PhillyPhreak54]

Yes. But we kinda did the redneck thing ...more fun.

I think I'm going to join the Marines.  All I have to do is kill little brown people, right?  And maybe die?  Totally worth it for the garage benefit alone.  Holla big government!!

Bet they got a gym, too.

You'd have to join the army though...and yes, they do have gyms all over the base.  For free.

Every Marine base I've ever been on has a "Hobby Shop". That's one of the few decent benefits there are on zesty Marine bases. If they took those away, they would have a revolt against little brown people......and win.

Phreak, turbo whine >>>>>>> silly centrifugal blower whine. Turbo'd 5.0s are some of the baddest bitches on the street.

[PhillyPhreak54]

No doubt. Turbo whine is in another category of boner inducing joy.


Example - I need to change my boxers


If dude can get this to hook, 10's are no problem

what's a fair price to replace an a/c compresser?
