Broke my driver window today. Well, not the window itself but the stupid regulator so now i gotta figure out how to get this crazy thing out the "easy" way.... if there is such a way? i know the vent window will hafta come out because the glue from the window to the channel gave out so thats gotta be fixed too. I tell ya, its been a good day. Just lettin some steam out, later!

Hey 68! Just thought Id let ya know about my day a couple weeks ago. My 72 4x4 had NO compression in #3. Pulled heads off , had broken valve spring. (good news is keeper stayed in place!) . I decided to drive my 66 El Camino to work the following morning. Pulled in to park , pushed the clutch in (its a 4spd) , and nothing! the clutch fork cracked ! So that tranny is still on the shop floor waiting to get new clutch, fork , etc.

Still have an '80 one ton 4x4 dually to drive...no problem , til I went into barn where I keep it... BOTH left rear tires were flat!
Ended up "steeling" my daughters 86 s10 Blazer for a couple days!

Good news is everthing is back together 'cept Camino.

Moma said there'd be days like this!!

i've always thought it was kinda comical, in a sad, morbid sort of way that not just one vehicle can go down at a time......they have to all lay down the same day, i'ts pretty embarassing to have to ride your bicycle to the parts store because nothing wants to leave the driveway.
