  • One day, I'm gonna find Murphy and kick his a$$

    So, got my truck running real nice, got the old Plymouth running and legal...and the kid calls...Mustang is broke down. SOAB! drive out to him and check the car out...wont start, it died while he was driving. We took a drive to Autozone, got a new pro rated battery for the old one (2.50!) and new terminals. Got it all hooked up and she started fine...BUT...there is a knock. I ask WTF? we check the oil and its BONE dry. He said he got the oil changed at Jiffy Lube 3 weeks ago. They didnt put a drop of effing oil in the car. I ask where the receipt is, he doesn't have it. So now he is driving my effing truck and the Fury is back to DD duty. (keep tuned to the project thread for updates on the fun)

    The light at the end of the tunnel? Well, I got a kid who works for me and he is moving to England. He has a 01 Ram for sale. It's a good solid truck and I know every thing about them...he needs to sell it and I got dibs..Me and this kid are pretty tight and he wants to do me a solid before he goes...the price 1K. It isn't pretty but it is better than putting an engine in that effing Mustang..

    So, I got a back up plan...WTF is your plan now Murph..how you gonna screw me this time you jagoff!

      Oh no, never taunt him. He will rise to the challenge. :o
      Do you go around smashing mirrors and kicking nuns for fun?

      You gonna keep the Mustang as a toy?

            trick them into admitting they changed your oil. go argue about the brand filter, say they say suppose to use a better one then they put on, when they look in records to prove you wrong, tell them about the car... might get lucky and it actually work...

              Actually...Jiffy Lube should have a computerized record of the service...they all are on a network. I'd see if they can pull it up...play the role of concerned dad, get them to print you a reciept..

                I'd go to a different Jiffy Lube and act like you didn't believe your kid about having his oil changed and have them print you the receipt then take the receipt to the Jiffy Lube that screwed up?

                  Its a 02, V6 car. I don't like the damn thing and am not sad to see it go. I may just keep it long enough to tear the top end apart to see what went wrong..It sounds like something let loose on the left head, the screw driver to the ear says it is the second cylinder back on the left side and dead center under the intake....if I can fix it in the driveway I will, but am still going to buy the Ram.

                  Jim, the Ram I am going to buy gets better mileage that the Mustang. He will be better off.

                    I think he's shown up here > I need to replace the starter in the Skylark, and yesterday was too snowy, and today it has a coolant temp of 12*F and the starter doesn't have the power to start the car even with jumper cables from the jeep helping out >

                          Thought I'd try and dig out the T-bird because I've been wanting to drive it and such, but to hell with that too. The drift is 3ft tall ( and 12ftx50ft), which isn't so bad except the bottom 2ft are now ice and require pickaxe time as well as shovelling. Screw it, I'll wait until it's about melted off.



                          (of course if I actually needed either car I'd get the job done, but motivation is low since it's a want and not a need.)

                            Down here, you can find Fords with 3.8's in them all day long in the junkyard. If you need anything, give me a shout.
