It's ok, Yakko. Just means that if we ever go to an amusement park you have to bring stilts so you can go on the big kid rides with us

yeah not too sure on if that is the issue that is causing my problems but i am sure with the high miles and hard driving that does need to get replaced. the clutch does not release all the time and have to push the clutch in and give it a second to release and a second in neutral to get into gear. now i dont know much about transmissions but i asked a few friends that are mechanics and they say it sounds sketchy on being the immediate problem
oh yeah i couldnt afford a camaro or i would do that in a heart beat

got my **** chopped yesterday morning, it sounds awesome, did it at sandiamuffler they charged me $74 and some change after tax (Iwas gonna go around and check prices but I was kinda tired, so I said **** it and went there), they did a great job just got to keep an eye anf tell the dude welding how you want it exactly, as he tacks it in place (helps if you know spanish, lol), took about 20 mins because the dude got a phone call, lol, I'm guessing I've gained about 2 mpg (it sits at 30.6 avg right now cause I can't keep my foot off it, I just love hearing it, lol), the car seems to have a bit more response under acceleration, did I mention it sounds great, lol, rayn... went by the house and took vids and pics he said he would post it sometime today, so I can't wait, I feel like a little kid that just got the cool toy, kinda like how I felt when I first got the balt

the welder kept looking at me funny (like **** u gringo, I know what I'm doin, lol) and kept moving his head to everything I said then I started talking in spanish and he did a complete 360, he said "you speak spanish?"(in spanish of course), lol and started asking me how I wanted it, kept adjusting it, lol
probaly will gain more if I stay off it, lol, I guess since I can hear it, now I don't gas it as hard coming out of a stop, also I can hear the turbo spool and the valve sneez a little more now

it's easy you just got to have someone to practice it with so you can keep it up, you said your family speaks it so just get them to start trying to speak it to ya, start mixin spanish into your normal conversations with them, and after awhile you'll be talking like a true new mexican, lol, saying bueno every 2 seconds haha

just got to ask you family, to help you out, I actually learned to speak english watching movies, that's why my accent changes depending on who I'm speaking too, I got so use to copying the way people talked in the movies how they pronounce the words, so it's like second nature and I can't help it from happening when I speak to people, at work, one moment I'll talk like a red neck and the other I'll be ghettoing it up, lol, everyonce inwahile you catch the puertorican version when I **** the pronunciation of a word, lol

ha ha yeah but for the most part novelas dialect is somewhat slowed down and pronunciation is as perfect as the actor can do it, just like movies, so anybody can understand it no matter where you're from, hispanicspanishknowinwise that is, lol

Our two Balts. If you don't know Nal's is the 4door. And the guy in the one pic is Nal.
Btw, Nal. Talked to me mum about the bike. Apparently my brother in law wants to trade his 1968 firebird which is in...primo condition... for the bike. Soooo.... I kinda think you got outbid on it >.> Sorry, mate

Man I am freezing my ass off here in front of nation wide on southern. Only ride I could get dropped me off at 7 but it doesn't open until 8
Well just finished talking to daniel at nationwide and he made me a believer. Really nice guy who knows his stuff. He didn't pressure me into doing anything drastic right now and flushed and replace the tranny fuild free of charge. Def will be taking my transmission to him when I save up the money to fix it
