I finally got to drive my truck tonight after sitting for 8 months. It has needed a water pump all that time but I've had alot of stuff going on so I couldn't work on it. I picked up a pump a few days ago and found the time to install it yesterday. I even drove it to cruise night tonight. I also had to show a few ricers who's boss. I forgot how potent the big block was.

I think she did. Had to mash the go pedal a few times just for fun, can't figure why I used almost half a tank in under 50 miles. Couldn't have something to do with 400 hp and 4:10 rear could it? LOL

so you're the one responsible for gas prices going up in Central VA. Please don't drive that truck any more, you're not leaving any supply for us down in Richmond!

Not only in Richmond. The gas prices just went up again here in Ohio.

Hey Pete, I was using gas from a car we trashed out. I think I'm gonna have to park it again soon. Gas is between $2.05 and $2.15 a gallon here. Plus it's only a weekend cruiser...
