Weekend Work On The 'ol Sixer

M6 Jacked Up In the Garage

My 22-year-old celeb sixer keeps me busy, and is at the age where I have systems dropping like flies.  After the winter we had, I have some serious catch-up to do.  I've begun a punch-list and it's not pretty.  At the top of the list was the fuel system.  Last time I heard, it's a bad thing to strongly smell gasoline around the rear end of your car.  I was just one step away from a mobile molotov cocktail... and it's been like that most of the winter.  Add that to my blown brake bomb (item #2 on the list), and my car was a jihadist's dream.  I actually took to wearing a Kamikaze headband when I drove. 

So, it always feels good to complete a project.  Especially when you get even more done than you had originally set out to.  I actually had great luck in this project (for once), as everything went just as I expected it to.  My goal was to seek & destroy the obvious rustmonster attacking my gas tank (suspecting the filler neck, since that's the most common circumstance), and to inspect the entire rear-end fuel system.  This complements my work 2 summers ago on the front-end fuel system where I completely refreshed the front lines, pressure regulator, injectors, and injector rail.  

If you care to see how I did it.  Jump.  If you don't... uhh... don't!

Dirty Jobs

Mike Rowe

I have a bit of a "man crush" on Mike Rowe.  You know, that guy who SPAMs the Discovery channel, and man-commercials?  C'mon... you know him. 

So the dude has such an awesome set of gigs now, I'd give anything for a career like that.... just dicking off on camera, and do fun man stuff.  But I just dig this guy's humor, and he seems like the kinda guy that you'd just knock down a few brews with, and laugh the whole time.

So I was curious to learn where he came from.  How did he land his Dirty Jobs gig?  What did he do before?

So what did I learn?

PIXELS

Even if your are not a child of the 80's, this is pretty freakin cool.  Watch out for space invaders!  This is a brilliant Youtube vid I ran across that won't fit on the front page (and do it justice), so click to see what would happen if NYC were attacked by 80's Atari technology!  

So JUMP, you!

Scarface Like You've Never Seen It Before!

Oh.  My.  God.

Seriously.  This is both awesome and completely frightening at the same time!  This is a child play summary reproduction of Scarface.  I want to know in what school/child-rearing institution this was produced to have what sounded to be quite a parental audience cheering this on.  This means that not only must they have produced this - but waited expectantly for their kids to say the line "You deal coke and you kill people..." correctly!  Oh they were so proud! 

Watch below for BIG TIME LOLZ.

Must Read : BMW E30 "Crapcan" in WRC

BMW 
Crapcan - Big Slide

I won't bother discussing why I haven't posted since the vikings were looking unstoppable early in the last season.  It is what it is.  Life is different for me now, and the Vikes lost to the Saints anyway. *sigh*

I will, however, urge you to read up on one of the COOLEST things I have read recently in modern motorsports.  It's cool because it makes me wish I could do something just as amazing, and gives us rustbucket lovers some hope!  It's a cinderella story of Epic WRC proportions, makes me want to take my six on the road.  If you haven't already seen it, I'll sum up for you, and judge ye fairly if ye want to learn more about how he did it... it's a wild ride.
