I've never had it but I know that I would be exponentially happier with more money, or less debt. I can't wait until the day I break out of the pay check to pay check cycle. With that said I am above the poverty line and live quite comfortably but still not where I should be.

The Thorton hit was relatively uncharacteristic, he is relatively honest about the way he goes about his business. Hey also has relatively good puck handling skills it was a sad day when the Bruins moved on from him

Clarkson would be simultaneously ashamed and amused......I personally agree turbo noise and unexpected wheel spin for everyone! I drove my Solstice GXP last night for the first time since last August (failed inspection no funds for parts then a long New England winter but I digress) and that turbo made me happier than…

ouch, yeah I managed to save myself from that. Luckily for me the wife also works on cars

its kinja spelling and grammer are for chumps.....also a function of posting from a busted smartphone and neglecting to proof read..... and ft lbs and in lbs are acceptable take your N m back to your own country (damn commie) but you have a 66' chevelle so I guess wecan be friends (the wife has a 70' chevelke she…

unfortunately yes.......I probably shouldn't mention I also have a firebird tattooo..... 'Murica

read the other comnents I explain somewhere in there

yup not one of my brightest moments, working on a car or otherwise..........

I couldn't agree more there are a ton of people I know which engineering degrees that know the theory inside and out but have no idea how to put it to use in a practical application.

breaking the plug or getting it out? either way I always prefer doing things the hard way......

10k hard miles since this happened I got lucky

yeah not one of my prouder mistakes it was 10k mikes ago and shes still driving strong, when the motor goes shes getting a twin turbo ls7 swap

yeah spent a while coming up with the idea, was kind of a last ditch "lets see what happens" type of thing, I reasoned the porcelain had to be tapered or seated to prevent it from falling out of the bottom of the plug

I might be a tad ocd with my repairs

thanks for editing my post, I dont proof read and posting from a broken smartphone

Thanks she was good as new after banging my headfor a few days.

yeah like I said 1 too many beersinandI had a new torque wrench that was begging to get greasy

fixing it took a few days of creative brainstorming..... ended up getting the other 3 cylinders taken care of, put a 4x4 over the 4th tube with a weight on it, then turned the engine over and used the compression to shoot the porcelain out of the tapered seat (it stuck in the 4x4), then used an easy out and extension…

I am relatively mechanicaly savy (I have a dwgree in mechanical engineering) I made a really dumb mistake doing plugs on my 07 Solstice GXP it was late and I was a few too many beers in, misread a torque spec in ft lbs that was really in lbs and snapped a pluv off going in.......

I have cultivated quite the beard over the past few years. I don't think I have been clean shaven in over 2 years. I actually have the opoosite view from the wife being bearded is almost a requirement at this point. My beard started in 2011 as a playoff beard to support the Bruins. I have succumbed to the bearded…
