Yea the doors r shit. One has broken hanles on both sides and one won't open from the outside. I'm having it aligned now. I fixed a handful of the interior stuff and will do more when I get home |

Yesterday a trip to pick'n'pull got me a few spare parts. Going to wait until pick'n'pull's half price sale next weekend to get anything major. Also the only geo at my local yard is a rally car, the doors are welded shut and anything plastic on it is busted to pieces. Wont be getting much salvageable stuff off it....

Today was a very long Geo day. Here's a list of everything i got done. 2 newer tires and rims 2 extra rims 1 new spare tire The blower and Ac things that go under the dash Rear seat rear seat belt new clamps that the back seat snap into radio new radio wiring ac control nobs ac wiring harness sprayed out the engine bay. side view mirror rear view mirror new shifter nob installed a dome light cleaned the vents hung the license plate And got an alignment done Apparently it was really really bad. All the techs were just shaking their heads and mouthing "the fuck" when they were looking at the readings. Car is running much smoother now and drives with a lot more pep than I'm used to. Took Oden out and taught him to drive stick shift. He did very well. Few hours of practice and he wont have any problems. |

Kudos to you, Ghostrider, for helping out Oden! You are indeed a good man. I hope what goes around comes around.

I'd be suspicious of that. For the alignment to be that far off, I'd think something is worn out, or the frame is sagging. |

That is an adorable idea. You will make Wesley feel so special, because he will have a car "just like Dad's!". ![]() |

Odens got a few funny ideas about what to paint his car. Btw one of Wesley's first words was Geo. He used to run around yelling it nonstop |

The trip up to scoob's house resulted in 38.8 mpg, on very hilly terrain with someone whos been driving stick about a week. Also the trip back was made much much quicker then it should have been, and probably resulted in much mpg loss as well. I'm happy with those numbers, and I can't wait to see what the straight stretch to texas doing 55 in 2 weeks will result in, I'm hoping to break 50 mpg! |
