Still ran pretty good with the blown head gasket, ay? Now that I think of it, I started to tell a difference Friday night when we went to Sonic to get ya. I remember it wasnt as quick in first gear as usual. I made a comment about it to my passenger. Oh well.

Thanks for the offer but I have plenty of spare parts. Ha! What turbo Forder doesnt? Im probably going to do a couple little things while its apart.

dang a polk county thread. i spend too many of my weekends in tampa these days chasing women and blowing money away.

i rode by sonics in winter haven a few weeks ago when i was with my friend who lives right down the road, saw a gaggle of neons there, went to chilis for food and drinks and i saw a few cars in publix, but nothing spectacular though it was early.

lakeland is dead, so i hear there is stuff at best buy? i may have to roll up there, but i dont like going if i dont know anyone there and i heard it was alot of junk stuffs there.

unfortunately when i got rid of my faster car, i kinda lost interest in coming out. the not as fast car isn't flashy or loud, so i guess people just assume it's some slow econobox. i'll have to come out sometime and say hey. i do occasionally see a car in the bartow area, i work there.

When you said the compression #'s I figured it was a head gasket..Its the 2.3T engine fuse..Instead of messing the engine up it justs pops a headgasket!

On a good night theres a decent turnout.If anything come out and shoot the shit and eat a burger.No ricers equals no cops and a good time.I just moved out here and thank god it isnt a ricefest.I live in bartow btw..

I almost posted that I blew the engines fuse. Thought the numbers would be better accepted though.


Hey Chris sucks you got a speeding ticket. I tried using the broken speedo excuse one time and the cop asked me why I slammed on the brakes when I saw him. Hee hee I told him I do that every time I see a cop. He admitted he did too and still gave me a speeding ticket.
