Once again finding ourselves off topic... At least we had some good ideas
 Back to basics. |

|---|---|
| Ross: | So, the three of us really worked hard on Steve's 'maro last Thursday, huh? |
| Wes: | Yeah, you two were moving so fast I didn't even see you until you came up from the basement. Say...what were you doing in the basement anyway? By the way - do you think Steve even noticed that I removed the bumper, gas tank, and rear axle while you guys were gone. How's he gonna talk about that on his web site? |
| Ross: | You know darn well what we were doing in the basement, meathead. The man's got a nice RC plane collection and I'd never seen it. We left because you looked so comfortable lying under the car. I don't know about Steve but I figured some sort of car gnome had come in a finished all that off while you were napping under there. |
| Wes: | I suppose that's what I get for being considered the Ford guy in this group. |
| Ross: | Yeah, well... We all have our short comings. We try to over look that one. Though I suppose that could explain the difficulty you had in removing the gas tank strap. Something about "Righty tighty, lefty loosey"? Do they do things backwards on a Ford? And you seemed to be so close to getting that bolt off when it just stopped moving. What was that? Darn Chevys! :-) |
| Wes: | Well if ever there was a good place to insert the immortal "Piss-Off" This would be it. My strategy there was to see if you or Steve would jump in and work. (Really!) But you didn't did you? You just kept relaxed, and cracked more jokes. Speaking of that, what happened there with all the laughter? I think Steve must have a leaky bottle of NOS in the shop somewhere. We just couldn't stop. |
| Ross: | Good comeback. But I think Steve's cornered the market on that one. Laughter? Gee, there were so many toxic fumes floating around that garage... Gas, oil, antifreeze, Steve's belches. How many brain cells you think we might have lost? |
| Wes: | Well Ross, you can't lose what you don't have. So I wouldn't worry about it too much. But - in all seriousness, I think we should get Steve to buy us a lift for the next session at his house. We deserve it. |
| Ross: | I'd like a lift and a tuck. Maybe a little liposuction too. Think Steve would pop for that? |
| Wes: | Sure, He'd take away the Beer and actually make you work on the car. Possibly crank the heat up a little more and give the garage that Sauna effect. That's about the equivalent to a lift and tuck over time. |
| Ross: | What?! It wasn't hot enough in there for you in the first place? The pellet stove was only inches from where we were doing most of the work as it was. As for the Liposuction, I was into that already anyway. The two of you set me to sucking all the rust out of the trunk that night. With a shop vac of course. Oh, and one more thing. Just to set the record straight. I was the one who removed the rear shackle bolts before we took the rear end off of the 'maro. As hard as it was. (yeah, right) I don't think those were grade 8 bolts holding that thing on. |
| Epilogue | We're going to stop things right there for now. Next time we'll try to stick to the facts a little better, refrain from name calling and keep the the focus on the car. |
