I remember going to the track when I was around 5 years old, the engine noises and the colors of the cars was intoxicating. When we were kids and they were tuning the car in the driveway and the fenders would be shaking and it was so loud you couldn’t talk to your cousin right next to you. Them testing the car in the street in front of the house open headers yeah well it don’t get to much better than that.

Wifes sister with family visited last weekend. They are nice but,,,Political correct kind of treehugers
I was going for some groceries and the husband asked if he could come with me. Big fan of electrical
cars. but now traveling through the wilderness he chosed his volkswagen or Audi or something like that
that run on fuel. They have to have a fuel car to get where they want to go ???
Anyway i took the Galaxie and their 8 year son wanted to come to the store with us. First thing he desperatly
searched for seatbelts i told him there is no belts, You got to have belts,
Nope i dont
Dad tell him he got to have belts.
 i just laughed and said you can allways stay with mom if you want to
Nooo But why is there no belts?
 Beacuse this is a male kind of car i told him
we went to the store and att the store parking he discovered the window crank, what is this?
You crank it to lower the window
He cranked it up and down  Ohhh coool dad look i can crank the window

We bought the groceries i started up the Galaxie and rolled out of the parking lot
Kid said,,,Dad why does it sound so cool compared to our cars ?
Because it is old
I saw the kid in backseat thinking,,,
Why it is a male car?
Beacuse you can do this i told him, I shifted to low and made a long burnout let of the brakes shifted to second and pulled away
with smoking tires shifted to third and let of the gas. Kid laughing hysterical in the backseat claping his hand shouting do it again do it again
Dad grabbing the dash no no dont do it dont do it
Dad daad you cant do this with the volkwagen  kid laughing
Dad said im just glad if we came back alive
 ;D ;D ;D ;D

When we came home kid rushed in to tell mum what i did. Mum told him it was werry childis thing to do and dangerous
No mum its not childish, its a male car
There no sush thing as a male car

Yes i told her, it identifies as a male and whom are you to tell it different
 ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Mom and dad was kind of buthurt that i spoiled their 8 year PC upbringing in seconds

Kid pleaded to me rest of the evening, cant we do another burnout pleease pleasee
he had a totaly different glow in his eyes

Funny thing is they named the kid after me before they realy got to know me
 ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Non-FE Discussion Forum / 1999 Ranger clutch bleeding problem
« Last post by bsprowl on May 18, 2024, 05:12:44 PM »
Unable to bleed the throw out bearing on my 1999 Ranger 3.0 5 speed.  I replaced the clutch and throw out bearing three weeks ago.  I pulled the inner fender panel and removed the master cylinder so that any air trapped in it (because it normally sits at a 60-75 degree angle) could get out.  I tried working the master cylinder and pulling a vacuum with a hand vacuum (as much as 25 pounds)  I have not gotten more than a few drops of fluid out of the throw out bearing bleed screw.
Master cylinder worked fine before I changed the clutch.  How can I tell if the problem is the new throw out bearing or the master cylinder?

I think the question was, would it be possible to go .060 over.  The original post says he has no plans to do that.

Heck - you might get an extra 10HP from cylinder wall rigidity
