    haha thanks john, im actually 19 now. I would get some pics up of the taxi but right now its out of order till its fully fixed. That car has had more problems than any other car i have ever worked on in such a short amount of time... the transmission got stuck in neutral and it had to be opened up and fixed, the master cylinder was "supposedly" rebuilt a week or two before i bought it, but the pedal isnt always firm, the regulator broke and led to the generator being fried, had to rebuild the carb, and now it wont start and i am in college so i am gonna have to head back home next weekend to try and get it to start. i like the car alot but it has been a pain. it seems murphy has been up to his old tricks again...

    Austin, problems are a thing I'm all too familiar with myself lol. I look at them as our right of p***age to truly appreciate our rides, but sometimes it just seems a bit unfair doesn't it? Look at it this way...if it was easy every ****o out there would be cruisin' in a straight axle g***er *er hmmm...mine doesn't have a straight axle...uhhum. Well, you know what I mean. Stay in school and leave cigarettes alone. Save that money for a man-a-fre manifold or something cool. Later-John

    That is very true. It does mean a whole lot more when you know you have fixed nearly everything on the car yourself. I will stay in school, i have atleast another 3 years... and for smoking, there are plenty of other things to spend the 5 bucks, or whatever it is a pack now, on.
