POOR DEL SOL!

last night, i tried driving up my driveway, FAILED -- i slid backwards down the whole thing Luckily I slid off the driveway on the left side instead of the right, because if I would have slid off the right side I would have ended up in the creek The exhaust got hung up on the driveway, and the wheels were just spinning in the ice, so I left it there overnight.... This morning my dad helped me push it out

[quickdodge®]

Tow hook? Lolol. I used to like your car. Later, QD.

[toxxxic]

LOLOL You been likin my tow hook the whole time, old man!!

I've never seen the thing before on there. I have always despised those things, hah! Later, QD.

[5speed]

LOL That sounds like fun! Glad you didnt go into the creek.

[toxxxic]

LOL. My dad said to me last night after it got hung up on the exhaust on the driveway and wouldn't move: "You know I think the most useful thing on that dumb car is that stupid tow hook" ....

[quickdodge®]

LOL. My dad said to me last night after it got hung up on the exhaust on the driveway and wouldn't move: "You know I think the most useful thing on that dumb car is that stupid tow hook" ....

I understand that, lolol. I still like your car.

But, to argue (since I have to). your factory tow hook would have worked just as well.

+97. Later, QD.

[toxxxic]

I'm drift king, OKAY? Shit.

[.:Stirfry:.]

me want your wheels!

[Vteckidd]

lUCAS and 20-50w in sub 40 degree temps= stupid

LUCAS is the ABSOLUTE WORST thing you can run in any engine. It actually makes your oil sludge and it will cause serious main and rod bearing damage due to lack of oil distribution.

20-50, thats not TERRIBLE if you park your car inside, but if its outside on days like today, good luck

Change your oil tomorrow if you hope to have that motor last another 50k

Have you ever seen how thick that shit is?

Nope lol Never used it or seen anyone use it.

[Skillet]

[toxxxic]

its like molases.

idk my motor sounds pretty damn good

[5speed]

its like molases.

idk my motor sounds pretty damn good

Molasses? Damn! I ran 5W 30 for the winter in my Civic, and that worked pretty good for my engine that had 219xxx miles.

[Vteckidd]

Put saw dust in your transmission when it grinds too lol

Lucas causes the oil to sludge up, makes oil pump cavatate etc

it's fine on big block LOW rpm motors but on hondas it's death . There was a guy on ht that did a test on it it was pretty horrifying. Actually next time you go to autozone ten that little wheel they have on display turn it fast watch what happens to the oil. Watch how it sludges up and leaves the gears
