So because mook yelled at me for posting on the FB page and not the site... i traded some junk for more junk... got some free junk... and broke existing junk - the past 10 days have been ridicules! Some of have seen some of it on FB already... but to please mook, here we go...

So over a week ago a buddy of mine was in a bind and had to sell his bronco... it has an intermittent running issue that he could never track down - long story short the truck had to go... and rather scrap it, i brought it home.

All loaded up heading back home after 13hr drive there, drove a couple hours back that night to get a jump start coming home.

So my 17 year old had to drive the truck and trailer while i get to test out the new race car! Nothing says shake down like a 400 mile road trip!

Finally! Made it home from mid-Ohio with minimal issues.

:rofl: thats called BDAR in the military. (battle damage assesment and repair) ive got a few manuals on all kinds of short cuts and ways to limp equipment home.

Favorite one ive ever seen was while in Iraq the gunner was controlling the throttle on a HMMWV with 550 cord routed through the grate in the hood while the driver ran the brakes and steered.

:rofl:

They broke a throttle cable out on a patrol.

That is pretty simple to ratchet up and axle like that and baby it home. good thing you had another driver along!

And x2 on more details of the mustang!
