Good day Y'all & Kate
Well I finally did all I could do for this summer. I just wanted to thank everyone for all the help they have given me. I have only one finally story to give everyone as I put "charlene" away for the winter tomorrow. As most of you know, I have gone through hell and back with my 84GT, with it all starting by wanting to change a leaky timing chain cover gasket, to ripping out the motor and starting from scratch. We've all been there at one time or another, looking at one thing and ending up doing
45 other things. I am glad my bolt breaking days are over (DAMNED BOLTS)...so on that note here is my final entry for a while until I start my diff and gears swap, next spring( cuz everyone knows, if I do them over the winter, and by chance there is a nice dry day out...I will have to test them, so screw that idea)...anyhoo---here's my story.So I call my g/f yesterday and ask her if she could possibly do me a favor. She's like "WHAT"...so I ask her if she would mind taking charlene and putting around 20bucks worth in her tank, cuz the gaz prices dropped almost 10 cents a liter...( I am from montreal, quebec - I am sure you guys know of the gaz prices...we can bounce from 69.9 cents/liter for regular up to 87 cents/liter in the matter of 5 hours.....)...so I drove to work in the crap-mobile and as I passed a gaz station, there is was in shining GOLD..69.9/liter....I was in my glory...it was a sign from god..."FILL'ER up and LET HER RIP"...Hence the phone call to the g/f...I was at work and the car was at home and by the time i would get home...the price may have jumped back up again... NONE THELESS---she says yes, but doesn't do it! DAMN DAMN DAMN...so as I leave work, I see the prices shot up to 75.9/liter..I was thinking HAHA suckers...didn't get me...YEAH RIGHT! I get home and the first thing from her mouth...I forgot to go get gaz...."WHAMMO, and it's a right punch to the kidneys"..Rick is down for the count..SHIT SHIT SHIT!....I am not happy, so I figure what the hell I will go put Gaz in anyways....so off I go...Now I am on my way....and the first gaz station I see well--lookie here.....69.9/liter....wooooooooo-hhhhhhhhooooooooooo and what a freaking line-up.........there must have been about 13 cars waiting...so I pull in line and wait my turn...as I am waiting, feeling the rumble under my bum...I hear a commotion going on about 4 cars deep....naturally I look ahead...some dude was waiting to back into pump position when another dude pulled a dirty move and jumped it....now I am thinking....UH OH!...dude no#1 was pretty big and pretty pissed...so he just walked up to the car (the jumpee) and basically told him to move his car or he would pummell the snot out of him.....HE MOVED!,,,it was funny---now I am thinking" don't piss this guy off, don't make eye contact"....and no longer after I think that---he's whistling at me DOH!...and yelling something in french....I couldn't hear him, so i rip the handbrake, get out and start walking towards him....thinking..oh my god, oh my god...stick and move ricky boy, stick and move!....as I get closer I see his mean face start to smile....he's like "eh men, wat year is dis car you ave"..."i ave 2 lik dis befare"...(this is a french guy speaking english)....he is now liking my car and hopefully not wanting to steal it......he checks it out and gives me the "tabarnac, est belle"...and then drives away.....SWEEEEET!.....Now since I am feeling like, YEAH MAN---SHE IS NICE, ISN'T SHE!.....so i fuel up......and now I am feeling good...as I leave the pump, everyone is staring, so I decide...EH, WHY NOT!....I light'em up with a little smokee smokee!......felt damned good! Can't believe it's over for another 6 months.
I guess the moral of my little story is, be sure to make freinds with the big guy....and always fill up when the price is good.....
Hope you guys enjoyed my little bitty
Have a happy and safe halloween....watch out for the kiddies
Rick
