well last night was interesting puttin the kmember back to get it as a roller. well our hoist broke. we had to use a jack to get the the car down off the blocks my dad almost died. we put a jack on cinder blocksand a 4x4 on the jack not thinkin that the jack couldnt wheel back as we let it down. so as it went down the 4x4 rolled and boom the car came down fast but it was right onto the jackstands and not onto my dad. (please dont tell me how dumb it was i already know) so that was my night i hav one pic.

I haven't been paying attention to the tranny. I've been driving manny tranny for...well, let's just say a while and leave it at that. But, as much as I like them, I'd probably put a built auto in it. I'd be nervous about missing a shift and possibly kissing away a lot of the $$$ you just spent as the engine rev'd to infinity........

Also, a consistent car is a good thing to have at the strip.

Glad to hear the only casualty of the dropped car was Dad's undershorts
