oh and by the way. Blue is now leaking oil by the gallon out the rear head gasket. I think this idling it killing her.

I can't really tell what is oil and what is gear lube anymore. I'm sure that trans was leaking, I smelled it and you can't mistake the smell of gear lube.

Can't you shut her off? We'll get her started again one way or the other I promise. Even if it means buying a new starter. We need her to be able to get you home, don't kill her.

That sounds just like the advice my mother gave me. She said, "lostNfound, cheer up, things could be worse."

So I cheered up, and sure enough...














things got a lot worse.

You know we're taking that pic of the good and evil 387's for a TTR photo-opp. We'll do Rocky II poses in front.
