Teardown from a trunk. That's classic. I once had a chance to buy a 350 shortblock for cheap but only had a 97 Malibu to pick it up with so I turned it down.. You've made me feel bad. lol

Man you're making me look bad, doing all that in a trunk

And to think I have my DD trunk (Neon) or my mom's truck (Trailblazer). Oh wait, I'd be killed if I tried to do that in her truck, n/m my dads Alero. Though I did transport my new trans in the back of the truck...

You're from Novi? My ex is from Livonia. I live in Ann Arbor.

Small world.

I'm not sure if thats a good thing or not to be associated with where your ex lives . yea..... well, got to go now....

Hopefully I can get my motor fixed sooner than later, though I'm gonna have a hard time getting it done in a couple hours.
