Carman Ghias and Porsches used to be essentially the same thing. :) And I've worked on a LOT of Carman Ghias.


LOVED that horizontal air-cooled dual-opposed 4-cylinder engines. So damn easy to work on. Smile

Neither me or the wife are what you would consider tall. I'm about 5'9", maybe, with my lineman boots on. We have difficulties just thinking about getting into and out of a Bug. I'm not quite as flexible in regards to small spaces as I was in the Nav.

We may, or may not have depending on who you ask, tried "stuff" in my Tacoma xcab. Stupid glove box thingy in the middle of the front seats.

OTOH, the cab of an '86 Mazda B-2000 will do nicely, if you're young and flexible. Lol

After last night's fight with the Trailblazer, it won for all these wondering, I will never again complain about working on my 99' Toyota Tacoma. Which is still a pain compared to my 93' Chevy S10 with a carb 2.8l V6.

After resetting the ECM last night to clear the engine codes.... not only are the codes back, but now it has a new problem. Though, the plugs and filter did fix a couple other problems she was having.


Did you try an ECM burst? P


I started it up and everything was running just like new. Should of stopped there, but noooooooo, my alcohol soaked mind said, no, demanded that I reset the ECM to clear the check engine light. A tiny little voice in the back did say "leave it alone, it'll clear".

But, do I listen, nooooooo..... I shut down the truck, disconnected both battery cables, and proceed to short them together. While reconnecting the negative lead, there was a nice little shower of sparks. That in itself was a potential problem as I was still a bit flammable from that small "shower" of gasoline when I installed the new fuel filter.

When I started it up again, it stalled out twice right away. Pumped the throttle twice, turned the key and hit the throttle. Runs fine at idle and speed. Likes to stall at stop lights and in reverse.

Now my wife and her cousin are laughing at me and her cousin's husband and saying "what do you expect from two drunk white boys?"

After doing a little research today, it may be the purge solenoid, or the PCV, or the EVPA or whatever. I don't even know where they are **runs off to find a little corner to have a good cry in**

My first car was a '70 Plymouth Gran Fury - Fully tricked-out. I could get some in the front seat whilst my brother was getting some in the back seat. Those benches were huge.

We used to use a '77 Mercury Marque Station Wagon to go camping in. Get to the spot, throw everything out, and pick a seat to sleep on. We also jumped it once. It became a low rider after that.

Ha ha. P

He was into Korean girls. I like domestic blondes (married a not-so-domestic brunette, though. Go figure). Kept the dating competition to a minimum that way.

Oh, no. I'm not vanilla. Just hetero. Because you're straight, doesn't mean you can't be kinked too. Cool

ok well how about this one..

I was engaged to a girl, Im disabled but hauled myself halfway up Ben Nevis in Scotland, just to find an amazing spot to propose, did I get a yes? kinda but it was her usual typical response, like 'I suppose I better' with a big cheeky grin, now that was a couple of years ago, last year around January we split but stayed in contact, she ended up seeing this guy, got pregnant, and this guy was practically trying to force her to have an abortion, she was having none of it and left him, now we are getting closer again, but it is slow and painful progress,

baby was born Christmas eve 2012, i have yet to really see her apart from a few photos but that is mainly due to her post natal depression, which made her so paranoid about hurting the baby, she still lives with her parent and her mum does most fo the things, but things are getting there, Valentines Day this year, we went to the Lion King Musical in London, and it was the most magical thing ever, she was so happy, and that's just it, I don't think I really care if we are together or not, I just like making her happy and seeing her smile or laugh, which obviously is not easy at the moment!

My wife could fix her own damn car, but she gave me the puppy dog eyes. I tried to resist, really I did, but they were so big and brown and pretty. Then she batted them. I'm such a sucker.... Blink

Long story short, I caved like something that caves around puppy dog eyes.
