Re: WoooHooo!!! First Time Drive!!!

LOL, I bought the drip pan to keep my driveway clean during surgery. The big runny puddle is where I topped off the gearbox!! It has a small rear seal leak and a small rear trans seal leak.

Re: WoooHooo!!! First Time Drive!!!

He had just bought an "old"? lens on ebay. Said it gave the pictures a certain flavor. But what do I know? I like them!! I've been in touch with him to take more in a better setting but he lives in NYC but will be returning in the Fall. "67 in the turning leaves"? I see a good setting!

Re: WoooHooo!!! First Time Drive!!!

My aunt is a professional photog who has sold photos and won awards....she uses her old cannon lenses on a new SLR digital and the pics are CRAZY good quality. She wants to upgrade soon and I hope she thinks of me when she sells it

Oh...and that truck would look awesome with some fall leaves as the setting

Re: WoooHooo!!! First Time Drive!!!

Dude, to some she looks like a heap, but she's yours and you're happy and that's what matters. Congrats on getting her running and driving, may she give you many more years of happy motoring. I love the contrast of it and the brand new Suburban in the background. Kinda neat.

Re: WoooHooo!!! First Time Drive!!!

I bet if cars could talk, the green Beamer on the lift was cussing and ranting in German about an old American truck on the lift next to it. Of course, the truck was probably telling the Frankfurter to shut his krauthole.

I'm loving it, dude. First drives are AWESOME!!!! I know exactly how you're feeling. It's like your on top of the world.

Ok, so for the pics I do have: The first is of me fuelin up for the first time. No more gas cans! And no I didn't install a digital sign on the roof of my truck (refer to rule #1)`Second, first stop at a red light (refer to rule #1). Third, our first chore together!
It did very well but it definately rides like a dump truck and I gotta do somethin with the three speed.
I'm JEALOUS!!!
The thing that stands out the most in the pictures you posted was the PRICE for a Gallon of Gas you were pumping!

Here in the Palm Springs area, its $3.87-$3.00 a Gallon.
But I shoudn't be such a "Whiney Beeyatch".
When visiting my old stomping grounds in Nor Cal, it was $4.12 A GALLON FOR THE LOW GRADE!
