Alright....ever since I got this car a couple of monthes ago my wife has been starting to tease me about packages of parts that come...She'll call me from home and say something like..."oooooohhhh.....you got 2 packages today....."

I of course get all excited and tell her about what gaskets and o-rings and etc. are in them.....So....I ordered some parts for my oil cooler repair....heh hehe trap set.....she calls right on schedule....."ooooh you got a package from that parts place......I say "oh I can't wait open it up and tell me what's in it"

I hear her opening the box...Then she bursts out laughing and says "SCREWED NIPPLES!!!!! What the heck????....

well it seemed funny at the time....I guess you had to be there....that is all....carry on....

listen, look, .........and duck.

Same here We probably got 6 boxes in a 1.5 week span....then shortly thereafter all the neighbors see me out workin on one of the cars... They probably think I'm nuts (no one around here even dares change their oil etc...)

Last year it got to the point where the UPS guy was tracking and commenting on the progress of my car. He was more of a bike guy but was cool. He liked my wheels, just didn't like carrying them!
