Good morning everyone... just waking up, finally have time to get on here.... for once I can wake up and have nothing to do for a couple of hours.
UPDATE : got married June 30th.
Eleanor now has a l26 intake manifold
Also changed up the exhaust on Eleanor... she has a flow master 10series with center outlet.
Finally fixing damage from the wreck back in April.
Another bigger update I'll fill you in on a bit later.

Hi Everyone, wish you a safe/happy/lucky `day.
History of Friday the 13th
There are different theories as to why Friday the 13th should be feared. Some say it is because 12 is a perfect number. There are 12 in a dozen, there were 12 disciples of Christ (Judas who betrayed Jesus was the 13th guest that night), 12 months in the year, 12 Greek Gods, 12 tribes of Israel, 12 signs in the Zodiac and 12 days of Christmas.
So, for this simple reason 13 makes people uncomfortable.
The superstition has led to many buildings not having a 13th floor, many people avoid travel or doing special things on the 13th and as a result the 13th sometimes can be a safer day to travel. Employers report that there are often more absentees on a Friday the 13th. I wonder if they compare this with a regular Friday?!
Friday is Frigga’s Day. She was the ancient Scandinavian fertility and love goddess, equivalent to Venus of the Greek Gods. Frigga was worshiped on the 6th day of the week, like Venus which was of course Friday. Christians called Frigga a witch and Friday the witches’ Sabbath.
According to Donald Dorsey, a folklore historian, the fear of the number can be traced all the way back to ancient times, when the Vikings inhabited Scandinavia. 12 gods were having a dinner party at Valhalla, the Viking’s mythological heaven. Suddenly, an uninvited guest, the mischievous god Loki walked in and instigated Hoder, the blind god of darkness to shoot Balder, the god of joy and gladness.
I was surprised to discover that there is actually a technical name for fear of Friday the 13th! It is Triskaidekaphobia! Try saying that 13 times quickly!!
A Whole List of Friday the 13th facts:
A witches coven consists of 13 members.
*
Tarot Card number 13 is the Death Card, depicting the Grim Reaper
(although it is read as transition or change and not literal death).
*There are 13 steps leading to the gallows.
*
13 knots in a hangman’s noose.
*
13 feet which the guillotine blade falls.
*
The driver of Princess Diana hit pillar #13 at Place de l’Alma when she was killed in Paris, France.
*Apollo 13, 1970, the 13th mission launched from pad #39 (13 x 3), mission was aborted, after an explosion occurred in the fuel cell of their service module. The rocket had left launching pad at 13:13 CST and the date was April 13th.
*
Epluribus Unum has 13 letters, so does Charles Manson and Jack the Ripper!
*
The US Seal has 13 stars, bars, feathers in the eagle’s tail, 13 bars in one claw, 13 olive branches in the other.
*
A “quatrorzieme” is a professional 14th guest hired by the French who had only 13 guests in attendance for dinner, who felt that was unlucky.
Some Good Friday the 13th Facts!
The Chinese, Pagans and others in ancient times marked time by the lunar cycle and calendar, thus 13 was considered a very lucky number.
