I got this one guys

Francois555,
Take it out then hold it upside down , then connect your glow plug starter to it, watch the little element inside to see if it glows like a car cigg. lighter, or brighter. If it does its good, if it doesnt then its bad.[sm=thumbs_up.gif]

I've got to be the smartest man alive I tell ya!!

[8D]ALRIGHT!! Got most of my parts today and have my car and my sons car back together again. Man, you'd think one car was bad enough to maintain...I have to care for two winner sports. I plan to get mine out tomorrow when I get home from work, long as its not snowing or something. Fill you all in later with results...[sm=wink_smile.gif]

Well that was short lived...I got out and goofed around for a few. I did find a sweet natural jump...or several at that. I live in the desert so some of the sand has blown over the edge of the road making perfect 2 ft rollers about 15ft from each other. Man can you lauch from these....nice. Anyhow, I somehow in the fun managed to lodge a piece of rock around the rear drive shaft by the diff. coupler and stripped out the little grub screw...[:@] Its been way to cold here to even screw with that outside, so I packed it in. I gotta say this buggy is beginning to really make me crazy[sm=bananahead.gif]. I'll mess with it later tonight Im sure...

LOL...I don't think your alone there Docphtsics. Most everyone has that misconception before seeing it for themselves. Most of the state is desert, in fact I'd say about 65 to 70% is probabely dirt...with tumble weeds of course. It does rain about 7 out of 12 months in Seattle, but even more in Portland, Oregon if you can believe that. I would love to have more trees out here. The cool thing is the scenery, you can go outside and look around almost in 360% and see as far as 150 miles (Mountains). Totally different than the city, thats for sure.
Welp...Have a good weekend Guys!!

16050#&@$? Are you High?[sm=spinnyeyes.gif][sm=bananahead.gif][sm=spinnyeyes.gif ][sm=bananahead.gif]Where do you live "KENT", MILLCREEK", "EVERETT" All West of the Pass, yeah its green mostly over there, but what do you think is east of that? I'll tell you, DIRT. That second picture is closer to the Major percentage of Washington then the first... Try leaving your front yard if you can find a car in the grass. [sm=idea.gif]

Just as I thaugt, west of the pass. SUPRISE!![X(] Dude, that 70% percent was just a figure off the top of my head...didnt think it was cause the literals to soil their diapers because its not an exact. If you want to [sm=cry_smile.gif] about geography, Im sure there are forums for that. Not sure who your calling a Kid either....you might want to do some research before you start popping off [sm=punching.gif], because I wouldnt want you to hurt yourself. I mean who really cares how much desert is in Washington in a literal sense.....I have gotten into my truck and drove for hours on hours and saw nothing but dirt and brush. Whats with the water thing? The only one wet behind the ears I se is you, GO FOR A DRIVE SOMEDAY! Oh yeah...I've seen the WHOLE USA....Ex-Military.. I lived in S. Cal.
