Re: happy birthday red fury !

I didn't know anybody cared! :D

Just got home with my newest acquisition, repaired. Had it for a week and the tranny went out on it. Got it home and it was making a buzzing noise from the front end, but it went away before I could get the hood open and try to find it. I think it's the external transmission cooler that was installed on it, the tranny before this one supposedly had a tad over 10k on it before it ate itself up, I think I figured out what the culprit was. I can only assume that pressure builds up and there's a restriction which is causing the buzzing noise. I'm going to fix that before I start driving it full time...don't want to burn up a perfectly new transmission.

Oh, and it has a V8 in it :eek::D

Yeah, that's an expensive option-the Minnesota Hightop conversion. :D

Re: happy birthday red fury !

Well, the BirthDAY itself wasn't all that fun, spent a good part of it behind the fridge trying to figure out how to fix the condenser fan ( needed a new motor in the end....works good as new and only cost me $50 ).

Birthday night was better. Went out to my favorite Chinese restaurant and got my favorite dish-Pork Egg Fu Yung. Even better, we invited my mom and step dad out with us because we wanted to share our favorite restaurant with them, and they paid for dinner! We all had a blast.

I wonder what my 40th is going to be like though....somehow those seem to get people... :eek:
