More good news for me.

I guess I'm not too lucky when it comes to cars. last week the brakes on my Jeep caught on fire and burned up the rotor/caliper/pads/rubber line, etc. Well being that I have finals next week and I have been studying a lot I decided to just drive the vette and then the starter started to go but it still starts after a few clicks, I figured I'd change it after finals when I got time. Well today on my way to school I turned on the heat and all my windows magically fogged up. I'm guessing my heater core which is a 8.5 hour job on a corvette! So I missed school and in the week right before finals I have no car, and a 65 mile trip to school each way isn't worth walking.
I just had to vent a little.
Time for a quicky jeep brake job.

I thought about bypassing the heater core but I had frost on my windows when I was leaving for school at 6:00 am. I am just going to have to add up a list of stuff to do to my car during my week off.

Well I took the brakes all apart on the Jeep and was going to replace them but it turns out my axle shafts are leaking fluid which can spill on the rotor and cause another fire. So I bypassed the heater core on my vette and I hope it gets me to school. Bigger projects every minute.

Chris, I was hoping you would change the heater core for me. J/K
Its going to suck not having heat. I wish I could afford a roll cage right now. See there you go again Chris, trying to get me to mod my car more. The cage will come eventually after I fix the jeep and payoff all the loan sharks!
In the past year I have done a lot but nothing is ever enough for you is it Chris? Just kidding Chris although you know what happens every time you put an idea in my head. Come to think of it Chris this whole thing is all your fault, you convinced me to buy my first camaro and ditch the Lightning I had in the first place and you got me addicted to modding.

Chris, I'll give you the harness next time we decide to take the girls out. Although that may be a while because we both need to set our priorities straight and get our cars finished.

Keep your chin up man. After finals are over you'll have some time to fix things right.
