Just got back from the ER after having 7 stitches above my right eye.
Who put the hit on me?

Looks like he got hit by a 2X4.

Brad and I were moving some cars around and I went to get an extra long piece of 4X2 from the rack in the garage ceiling.
Got more than one, three pices fell on my head. I'm glad my head took the force because my Jubilee was right next to where I was standing.
Zane made me go to the ER - and of course she was right - deep cut with splinters and oil in it.
7 stitches later I'm back at home with a glass of red in hand for medicinal purpose of course.
Thanks for your concern,
Roger

Uh, Roger, I'm really sorry to hear about your little accident. But I'm sure it won't stop you from pursuing your mission...

Wow Roger... I'd back off If I was you... seems like this evil plan of yours has rained some seriously bad Voodoo Karma on you.. just to be safe you'd better convert all your AT's to Manuals as a peace offering...

Meanwhile - I'll drink a big glass full of red in your name and pray for the lifting of the curse.

BTW while you were in the hospital did they by chance graft the leg back on? - who knows you may be needing it...

Someone just please trade him for an auto car... It'd be a shame to take a nice 86.5 manual to an auto when someone out there would probably really like to have that car as is!! I know I would... I'd trade my '79 euro auto for it, but you'd have to be an idiot to downgrade to less power and a 3spd.

Oh, Rog, get the 4spd, the 3spd sucks donkey ***** with uberhooversuckin.

Ya know what, if you were in the area, I'd say just come over to my place and you can have the perfectly fine auto setup out of my S4 and we'll just swap parts between cars.
Come on... You know you wanna drive to Seattle


Trade or sell the car though, an 86.5 manual is a hot item, someone would want it for sure.

Yes it's easier to fix your head than the car!
Don't try to catch the automatic tranny while your converting your 5-speed with your head (in case it drops on you).

Unless your head is made out of good old english oak.

See you Saturday...
