Well it's been awhile. I finally made it home, with only minor problems. While I was out there my transmission started giving me some ****, grinding in 3rd and 4th, but it was still drivable. Then on a great drunken stooper I ran up on a curb and tore my p***enger side rocker all to hell. The rest of the trip went fairly smooth until last night about 12:30 when I proceeded to run out of gas south of Dallas on I-20. When I tried to restart it, being that it grinds in 3&4, and I was still going pretty quick I tried to put it in 5th and pop the clutch, well nothing happened, as far as restarting the car. Something did happen in the trans and I lost 5th and reverse. So I called a friend I knew would help me out, Mr. Mike Creager, and in true buddy fashion he got up(having to go to work at 6 the next morning)drove from west Ft Worth, bought some gas cans and filled them up and came all the way to where I-45 meets I-20 and saved the day! So today I get to work on my car in my own garage! I was thinking about having a little party at my house this Friday March 12. maybe we will fire up the grill and have some burgers and dogs, and some beers and such, so if anyone wants to come hang out and BS and drink come on over. keven
You gotta love that Mike Creager..."He'd do it for us!" Man that ****s that your transmission ****ed up...you gonna try to rebuild it again, or find another one?
Well in this case "he did do it for us" I think I'm about to pull the trans and see what happened. hope its not too bad I should have put a Chevy in it, so I could have driven it anywhere.

The party starts when you get there Hudson.... Turn left on Palomino (it's the second light on Main St) and right on South Hampshire....Burgers will be on the grill, you just bring your beer...
My trip to Denver was cancelled so I get to go, yea!! Can someone PM me directions please. Kevin Monica B*** Hudson. I haven't made one of your parties yet, it's about time I get on the ball. TZ
Yeak, Mikey C for president. Keven, you better check in with the Saginaw Police and let them know you are home.
I vote for Gary of the Susan's for president Lefty, the cops must of seen him coming. They are already roaming the streets....
Ummm - Meester Lefty? Steve? You no call, you no write? How you 'spect me to feel? Are you planning on showing up at the party? There needs to be someone to fall off a bike drunk at some point tonight.
I couldn't show up over there cuz then I'd have to give back my 60 day sobriety chip. Some serious mayhem in Saginaw tonight I bet.
