funny thing happened today...

i was hand cleaning my engine today, went to go start it up, running REALLY rough. shut it off. got my dad. he said pop the hood, i said why, he said look for squirrels. i told him i was under the hood today. he said open it anyways. i started it and showed him, running really rough. he wiggled wires and one of the spark plug wires came right out, he put it back in and ran fine. so now i know waht a dead cylinder feels like, made my car run like sh*t. just thought you'd like to hear my story.

Funny thing happened to my s10 today...I noticed some one smashed into the front end pretty hard. Now I need new bumper mounts, grill, and my hood and pass fender are all out of line. Hopefully its not too much money just bending and stuff. At least its not very noticeable so I dont have to fix it right away. But when look at it hurts . I didn't need this in the middle of moving

Van- take off 2 sparkplug wires and thats how slow my truck is! Well almost, its a 4cyl manual and its alot slower then the max. But its cool, manual rocks. Hopefully the max will be manual soon too. And the s10 should have a 4.3L v6 soon...

Sorry just had to rant...
