Slow going as I’m a bit OCD, but it’s going.

I'm the same way. I see you've already drawn blood, too, awesome!

Teamsters union eh? Yeah I want to avoid visiting Davey Jones with concrete boots....
The national union is terrible. Has sold us out on the last 3 contracts. After they forced the last one through against the vote, Hoffa up and left the country for over a month on "unexpected union buisness".
Our local does good by us, usually.

Also, if you quit during that time you don't get any of the back pay, and if you go on disability or fmla it extends your year by that same amount.
You're a hell of a Union recruiter you know...

Plus its got a stick... Can't get the 392 Wrangler with one.
I'm sitting here this morning with the urge to drive a manual-trans sports car after my race-dream. I was having so much fun, even with the foot cramps.

I sold the Mustang to make room for the Jeep... I still miss it from time to time. It was also my last manual car and my Motorcycle is the only manual I have for the time being. It certainly is fun as long as you don't have stop and go traffic.

Yes, the traffic is the precise reason I've been buying automatics, especially in So. Cal.

The Jeep always demands blood sacrifice. :CWL:

The paneling is a bit sharp in spots. Fookin tabs are a bit of a beast to remove. :swear:

I'm pulling the seats today and will clean, pull wire, and add dampening to the floors while tying anything loose down. Speaker boxes are being given the treatment while I'm installing as it is a serious bitch pulling all this apart.

I did find that I will have to pull the dash speakers and plug them into the amp wires. So first test was on stock power. Can't wait to have it all together and listen to a system that should have a lot more oomph!

Rowing your own may no longer be as efficient or as fast, but it does add a little to the driving experience. :like:

I would really have to rent a new C8 if it becomes available. No manual though.

Just fast.

Funny enough I had the Dakota and Both Mustangs in SoCal Traffic... you need to be athletic to drive those in San Diego on a Friday afternoon, lol!

Yeah, I was not a fan of what the new owner was doing with the Mustang... The rear wing had been pulled off and the interior was covered in cig ashes... :angry:

In any of my other (and previous) vehicles, I need to fill-up at least twice a week just for commuting. With the extended range tank on the F-150, I can get 700+ miles per tank. So, a full week of commuting and other errands is no problem. I could make it to my late wife's father's place in Charleston, SC in one tank if I didn't tow my motorcycles behind it. I love the big fuel tank. :like:
I loved having the extended range tank. The kids hated the dad in me on road trips; "you can go to the restroom when we stop for gas". :devil:
