Thread: What did you do to your Car today?

worst fog ive ever been in was on my boat in the middle of rattan bay. we could see maybe 30 foot around the boat. was running low on gas, then heard the loud horn of a large ship. missed us by 30 feet. almost ran into SI. found some small channel markers, headed in hoping to find gas, people are like how did you find this place? people cant find it when the suns out and its clear.

long story short i took a cab back to the gwb where my truck and trailer was, and had to go pick the boat, and 3 more souls lol bought a gps the very next day.

then theres 91 and 95 in CT, thats damn thick pea soup fog for sure, like stop traffic thick.

this is some of the fog. This light by all standards most if the time you cant see the car in front you

Over the weekend I treated myself for passing my life and health insurance licensing exam.



The car's blower whine is much deeper and not as high pitched. Kinda quieter which I like and intake temps much better than my hot air intake. If I were to do it again I would make the block out plate out of sheet metal instead of acrylic. Also plan on insulating the filter housing in reflectix so it doesn't heat soak in the summer. So far I am loving it.

Killed a bird this morning, hit with my mirror. Thats a first for me

I had a turkey wipe out my mirror. Luckily Buick mirrors fold. Housing was fine

Damn POS gps and non folding mirrors. I was waiting for the mirror to fall off truthfully, it hit pretty damn solid.

Non folding, not heated, not possible in autodimming exterior mirrors.

Yes. my friend... it's all possible on a Regal.

Bonneville's don't fold, but they are heated!

Pat's do.. swap them with Aurora mirrors. Same bolt up. I did the research for him at a yard.

Maybe I should look for a Regal and torch the GP.

Finally ....one of you GP guys hears what I'm saying!

After riding in Clays Regal I really liked it, those seats were like a cloud compared to the concrete 97-03 gp seats are made of.

When I started looking for a car, first priority was the L67. Would have preferred a Regal, but couldn't find anything after months of looking. Pulled the trigger on a GP. Now there's at least a half dozen low mileage Regals on Craigslist. Grrr.

Oh well. At least we found a decent one for my brother in law.

Find a 92-99 Bonneville SSE/SSEi with the 9 seat buttons on the center console. Ask the person to allow you one hour for full adjustment. By the end of that hour, you will try to buy the car. That's how awesome the seats are.

390 with a 4 barrel carb. This beast is going to need some work.

Do you know how to rebuild the carb on those? My uncles 390 has a holley 4 barrel, first one I ever rebuilt, all went well though.

Holley is supposed to be an easy carb. The quadrajet I was told is much tougher. Never actually rebuilt either.

This is the original Autolite 4300. I ordered a rebuild kit and I will have at it. I used to rebuild single barrel Rochester carbs years ago on Corvairs.

So hopefully I can manage on this.
