The Official Status Update Thread: Part 76 - Neverending Winter

[Mosinguy]

I know how that feels haha.

Mosin- what parts are you pricing ?

Parking brake shoes in case I need them. Also a full tune up, I think she could use it. Definitely needs the carb tuned as well but that is free. It was a remanufactured unit and it hasn't been touched by us. We went through almost a quarter tank of gas in 20 minutes in a 4 cyl but that was before I noticed I didn't plug a plug wire all the way in.

Might do a fuel sending unit as well, mine's broke. A full tank reads as a half tank. Worst case scenario I just buy a gallon of backup gas and a toolbox and leave some extra gas in there. My mechanical fuel pump laughs at running dry.

Well please don't die on us. That would suck kinda

Thanks for the "kinda".

If you have Netflix check out

Saint and soldiers - airborne creed

Pretty good flick, ww2 based paratroopers help rescue some french militia from the Nazis.

You know I have to you.

You'd think there was something wrong with me if I didn't

Funny I heard that last night. Apparently my other half was watching it on a cellphone last night at work...then 4G disappeared

What you driving? That's a hell of a lot of gas for a 4 cyl. I know the pain my friend, I just had to put a new trans in my jetta.

that's what I just did, although my 4g didn't let me down.

Well from what I was told the first half of the movie is good

Its really good, the last half throws you for a loop. But I still enjoyed how it all ended. You both need to watch it soon.

 

[Sylvain]

Why is it that when im tired I start to watch a two hours movie even though I know I wont be able to go to sleep until the end of it?

I'll have to keep that in mind. I think we're both off Monday. Maybe we'll curl up on the couch after the kids pass out and watch it.

Or maybe I'll completely forget about it until after I'm in bed that night.

(Hint: the second option is the most likely)

Do the French people have ridiculous French accents and perfect English grammar?

I do it too. The crazy person absolutely HAS to go to sleep with the TV on so I have a list of "sleep movies". I've seen them all so many times that I don't feel the need to watch them.

It could lead to a third option.

 

[RedneckReject]

It could lead to a third option.

Only if I'm lucky. Good idea though!

 

[Sylvain]

Well this one is 2 hours and 10 minutes long and im just 10 minutes in.
I thought it would be shorter.

You may be out of luck my friend

A 1984 S10. It's supposed to get 25 city/36 highway. We'll "fill" it up again and see if anything changed. We were running pretty rich as well. Might have be a combo between the spark plug not getting it's spark and the carb being a little too rich. We'll see. Is the Jetta diesel?
