yeah I was stuck by the side of the road when I posted that on my phone so I was pissed and my phone was acting up = vague message. Plus Im convinced that Jeff shouldnt be allowed to ride in other peoples Supras, they tend to break when he's close by. I think its something about the Japanese and the Koreans not getting along or something.
We were heading down to MDC and not even halfway there I go to show Jeff how the car boosts with the wastegate open and after I let off it sounded like I had left a bunch of tools in the engine bay... so we pull off into a gas station at the whiteland exit (same exit Jeff "blew up" his last 7M on) pop the hood, set up the suprastick and lo and behold, hey theres a screwdriver in here! awesome.
not quite awesome.
start the car and it sounds like all hell has broken loose inside my engine. I say yup, thats rod knock, jeff says, nah I hear it in the head, I say, nope, thats rod knock, its fucked. lets go home. (MR Ducks, MR not, OSAR, CM wangs? LIB, MR Ducks)
some guy pulls up in a truck and offers to trade me his sport bike for the supra, I consider the offer until I find out hes got a 91 MR2 turbo and I proceed to try to weasle him out of the MR2 in a partial trade for my quickly dying Supra. I cant help but think that 20 minutes ago he would have taken it as a straight trade. Damn. he still wants to trade me the bike for the Supra, Im thinking... hmmm, naaaaaa, Im a glutton for punishment, lets throw a 2j in there. then I do the math and quickly become depressed.
We jump in and about 3 or 4 miles down the road the knocking gets really bad... kind of like a jazz drummer going into doubletime.... she starts heating up and she locks up and spews coolant everywhere. tadaa! nobody blowsem up like Mando!
anyways, I used the aforementioned AAA membership of Jonstews and his girlfriend came out and waited with us (a thousand thank yous) until the flatbed showed up to tow the bitch (the car not johns girlfriend) back to my warehouse.
thats that. she's dead.
Matt, whats this about an engine???
I will be accepting bribes at the meet this weekend to dyno the Xb, that way nobody else has to walk away with the lowest dyno numbers award.
