i almost smash my car last nite against a pretty tall curb. was being a lil daring/dumb, take your pick, and while taking a turn decided to down shift and try to slide through the "corner". lost the rear and headed straight for the curb. somehow i was able to brake a few inches away from the curb.

wasnt fun at all. lol



practice makes perfect.

the car goes where you're looking, look at where you want to go

isn't



pull-started it three times yesterday, de-flooding it in between, tried switching the igniters to see if that could be the problem, then it wouldn't run at all. Gotta test the igniters this evening, also retest compression . . . I'm about out of clues.
