ok everyone hopefully you can all laugh like we did, even though its not 100% funny, but it is funny. so, Rich ( my great 8 ) and our buddy Elliot brought me up a really clean opal white 97 lsc with black interior, it has no engine or trans, so they bought this other car that i was gonna use the engine and trans out of, but we decided not to because then engine was making a noise at certain rpm's, so, i cleaned up the headlights, fixed the rear brakes and replaced the damaged hood with one i had, and through a different trunk lid on it and they took it back to ft lauderdale tonight. they trailered the car to my shop from orlando, so no one really knew if the car would make it to ft lauderdale but Rich wasnt scared. well he calls me a few hours ago to let me know how the trip was going so far, he was stopped at a gas station while talking to me and the car was running, when they left my shop they had the oil changed and the motor purred like a kitten, the noise was gone totally and hasnt come back, anyway its running at the gas station and he says to me , hmmm, its running hot now all the sudden, as he is telling me this i am suddenly taken back to friday night when i was working on the car, i had the key on and the battery charger hooked to it and the electric fan was running non stop, so i unplugged it, well i never plugged it back in, WOOPS!!!, so by this time he is back on 75 and the temp dropped to normal again. i said pull over and plug the fan in i forgot to plug it back in, so he says ok i'll get Elliot's attention and pull over, i'll call you back later, ok we hang up. before the rest of the story i will post pics of the car, it is very rough, and awhile back the owner tried listing it here and craigslist. they litterally got this car for dirt, remember, this was only going to be a parts car so its rough looking....
that rear caliper was using the piston as a brake pad, it was almost down to the fins on the rotor lmfao. so anyway back to the novel, rich gets back home an hour ago and calls me and tells me after he plugged the fan back in, they both took off like a bat out of hell and all the sudden rich hears this loud smack and cant see the road in front of him, this is where he must tell the rest of the story because i thought he was yankin my chain but i believe him now, and he said he'll post pics to prove it, but we were laughing about it because the trip was going so good until this, Rich you better not puss out, no one is gonna make fun of you, but hopefully they can laugh with us!!! if the car wasnt a terd, the rest of the story wouldnt be funny, but all things considered..............
