Well, today was my 23rd birthday.
I spent the day wrenching on my Grand Cherokee (picture attached). Had to re-do the lift (rod ends were shot...). Had been waiting for parts for about 4 loooong months.

All and all was a good day, no speed bumps, except having to find someone to jump the jeep after doing the lift.

Figured I had to get another project running before I could get the engine upgrades done to the Shelby. That and I'm looking to buy a house in the next month, if not sooner, and I don't own a truck=/

Anyways. Good times, hope everyone had a good weekend and has a good short-week!

I notice your Sig says you have over 20,000 miles on your car, is that within about 9 months? :simmadown:

Happy birthday and many many more. Good luck house hunting as this is a buyers market. OH to be 23 again.

yes =| well, in 8 months (March 24-November 24).

Gas was much cheaper. Been saving for a home downpayment this year. Only have about 3,000 miles and have been driving it on nice days only this year, which have been few and far between up here in Michigan.

Unfortunately, no. :bandit:

Oxidized paint and a hole in the trunk lid.

At 23 I was driving a 73 Dodge Charger with a 440. But most of the muscle was gone by then because of the oil embargo, etc. You couldn't even get a 4-speed.:mofo:

I fixed the lack of muscle part. It ran pretty good after I re-built it.:ninja:
