Hi Space; why didn't you take your space ship and fly over the traffic going to Orlando? Lol. Actually the trip into Orlando from the east really bites. The section of I-4 going from Lake Mary to Disney is really bad. On that section is doesn't matter if you are driving east or west, you get nowhere fast. The road surface sucks, there are concrete barriers that do lane shifts, you have exixts on the left and the right. There is also a lot of aggressive driving and a lot of tourists that don't have a clue. There is always an accident. The whole thing is a formula. For a very slow aggravating trip. Fortunately for me I get onto I-4 at mile marker 38 in Lakeland and get off at mile marker 67 at EPCOT. I usually don't have a bad commute because I work second shift. If I have issues it is the last ten miles from mile marker 55 on in but usually the traffic gets heavy at 67.
I avoid the first shift that starts at eight in the morning. I hate stupid people and in that commute there are lots of them. I either get on the 5 a.m. Start time or second shift.
We should meet up sometime.

Don't feel bad... That just means you're not old enough to recognize those old classic AMC cars. Be thankful for your youth. :p

Hey all... I just finished plastic welding a brace for a persons ankle who otherwise couldn't walk... it had a big crack going up the joint.

Also, space... she keeps telling me she is more and more giddy about it as the days pass...I got the countdown going.

That RWD L36 is a peppy little animal. May not be an LS1 but I used to have a 96 Camaro with the L36 and 5 speed and kept up with stock GT Rustangs in it. Just be careful with that T5 though. Those trannys aren't exactly known for durability or strength. I broke two of them with my L36. Ok, one of them I broke the 5th gear syncro, but the original transmission I completely blew. I drove that thing really hard though and it finally decided to let go while I was doing 80 on the interstate. We broke apart the tranny and the whole thing was cooked inside. Granted, by that time the L36 wasn't stock but it sure wasn't an L67 either (I wish it had been LOL).

Don't scare me with transmission stories! Knowing the 4t65e is terrible was enough for me!!
