Ebola bro

Man lol. I just went on Fb right after posting that, saw someone else said they're sick. In the comments: Ebola

you need to come in contact with a sick persons fluids to catch it. its not air born "yet".

glued my rear view mirror button back on...made a "how to" glue it back up.

also checked my rack out with another person, the guts inside are moving, not my inner rods, so new rack soon. and theres a click inside it.

Replaced the heater core. If I ever have to do it again it will be too soon and the car will end up getting burnt.

The whole matter wasn't helped by the fact that I am having some sinus issues. Hanging upside down under the dash really messed me up and I almost vomited a few times because of equilibrium being off kilter.

Dad came down to hang out with the family, goto the park, and watch Transformers 4. I was able to show him the car and most everything I've done to it. He's seen it before of course, but not in quite a few months. I took about 20 minutes showing him the head unit, stereo, speakers, crossover (which he helped me upgrade the op amps on), all the other little gadgets I'm installed, the engine\suspension, etc. basically everything not stock on the car. He's the one that taught me all about cars and computers and sound and such, which the car is all of it put together so he loved every bit of it. It was a pretty cool moment, something that resembled this:

ive done that before. hey! theres that dumb little nut for my fuse box.......got to love the gm tool and parts holder tho.

I left my 3/8 rachet on top of my headlight for a few months, and a screw driver on one of the crossbraces. Never lost a single 1 of them surprisingly. Then recently I banged on my bumper and a small screw driver fell out of it that i lost last year.

LOL. Was helping my cousin fix the headlights on his Civic. We took the bumper cover off to get at something and when we put it back on he was like, "Where is my screwdriver?" After a few seconds he is like "Wait a second" and he smacked his bumper cover and it fell out.

when i took the front bumper off i found that 10 mm socket i lost 4 years ago lol

I take it you haven't got them back yet?

Nope, never found them.

Attempted to do the LS3 oil pan swap since my LS4 was cracked, however i cant for the life of me get the ****ing motor jacked up high enough figure out some other way to get my LS4 one out...and all because GM put a damn litttle sliver of aluminum on the transmission side that prevents the oil pan from dropping out nice and easy..

I swept it out Friday after work. Then got its oil changed and tires rotated Saturday. It needs washed really bad, but it's been spitting rain all weekend.
Lee and I are getting pictures take Wednesday night, and possibly are going to include his truck and the impy in a few shots. So I'll have to wash it before our picture session.

Lee hates getting his pictures taken and this was all his idea. So I'm not exactly sure what's up.

I did a heater core on an 04+ before. Same thing, felt pretty sick after being upside down for an hour. I didn't have any sinus issues but it was in the high 80's that day

And removing the passenger seat also helps

Yeah, with the upside down part I suppose. Going by the book times it wasn't part of the job so it didn't get come out lol

Also about my car, started getting this weird clunk recently. But its really more of a vibration/clunk. Can't really say it happens under certain conditions which is odd. It sounds to me like the motor is hitting something momentarily and I hear the vibration from it. I'm thinking my original motor mount is going bad.
