Flickr. Photobucket is for all intents and purposes tits up. Just download the flickr app and then hit the share button on the site and copy the BBCode
I’m currently trying this. So far I’ve been waiting 30 mins for Flickr to “process” my video that’s 10 seconds long :facepalm:

Ok, I think I made it work.

This is a 3rd gear 35-80mph pull to test AFRs at over a mile high above sea level. In case you weren’t aware, cars are slow up here.

That's a kick a** coworker.

Anfernee that sounds pretty good. You shouldn't live where cars are slow though. Not good for the soul

Drink more Gatorade. Seriously though being sick sucks so hard. I swear I have a worse reaction to sickness than anyone else I know.

I almost feel like the gatorade was part to blame for the relapse. I drank a LOT of the lemon lime stuff... makes me wonder if it was too acidic or something.
My stomach is just really really sour.

Dang man, that sucks. Really sorry to hear about the relapse, being sick like that is, in my opinion, the worst thing in the world. Hope you get to feeling better today and stay safe when you start heading back down here. Hang in there man :dblthumb:

If it was just the regular stuff, you may wanna try the recover ones. The clearish ones that are a little smoother. Lower overall carbs and everything. Just electrolytes and such. Or you could just get some pedialyte

Yeah usually I'm a G2 man myself.
The problem is I don't have access to a car while my co-workers are out doing the stuff that we actually came up here to do haha.
I'm putting in requests, but ultimately relying on them to deliver.

Hey y'all. I found that coconut water is waay better for getting well compared to Gatorade... It even replenishes your lost minerals better! The Brazilian kind is better, the Thai stuff is too sweet. My .02

Also, I wonder if there is a way to add compressed oxygen to make up for altitude? Maybe too dangerous?

i got offered a free 1995 mitsu diamante last night. gonna check it out and see if i can't polish it up enough for a quick flip. here's what i know: about 140k miles, owner quit on the brake job due to rotors stuck to the hubs, been sitting for a while (ran when parked), has a bunch of spare parts.
Do what you will, but flip it before the transmission dies.
They were built in my home state.
There's a reason that they were the first Australian car manufacturer to shut up shop and go back home....

i'm going over to check it out thoroughly tonight. i drove by it the other day and it was indeed on jackstands in the midst of a brake job. if i can jump it and get the trans to shift through the gears, i will probably bring it home. thanks for the info on the transmission, btw. if all else fails, i'll just call the junk yard and have them tow it away and make $200 off of it.

i hate coconut. but i'll get plastered, and diabetic shock off a bottle of coquito.

about that diamante. got it to turn over, but ran out of juice before i could check for spark. has new pads on the front, but one of the brake lines heading towards the rear is pissing fluid pretty good. all other fluids are present, and look really good. seems to be low on coolant. rockers are barely there, interior isn't terrible, clear coat issues. oh, and it's basically open headers since the flex pipe is just dangling at the union. my cousin had the interesting idea of turning it into a lemons car. i'm thinking of making it driveable and throwing it on craigslist for $500.
