No doubt Imre was mesmerized by the 928 on the 928 pressure washer instruction sheet. Don't blame him for your excellent choice in wash locations!

Have fun!

Find a different badge to make it interesting, VW, RR, or Studebaker. (Swastika might be unpopular)

Funny you mention that. I was yelling at him to turn it on or add money as I was standing on the trailer with the wand in my hand, and he was staring at it.

IMRE: "Hey, this car wash button label has 928's on it! Come look!"

Me: " NO! Turn the damn thing on! I'll see it later."

lol

Talking infested car

It's time to put 2 cats in the car. CALLICOs are best but TABBIEs work real good too!!! As for the missing hood badge, why not try one from the KGB!?! That'll keep the Dems scratching their heads!!

What a jerk for taking the emblem! I will grab one off of one of his cars next time I am by there.
The right tailpipe has a nest in it. I'll put a showel in front of it before firing it up. Whater is camping in the muffler will get shot, head first, into the showel. :-)

I shot my friend in the leg with a nest when I first started the gold car lol wish I had a video of that. Good luck with getting it going. I have some top end parts from an 83 motor if you need anything.

I knew you were gay, but Imre? Not that there's anything wrong with that...

Nice catch. lol

Begs to wonder why you seem inordinately predisposed to spotting this condition, though...

Good luck with your project, I just saw the "Wand" pressure washer instructions, LOL there is one of those Up-North here in MI. I've used it

And Rob I thought the same thing the first time I seen one "hey there's a 928 on the instruction sheet!"

Did some work today on the barn car. Put a socket on the crank, a breaker bar and a pipe but the engine only turned a little. Rod said lets pull the intake. Sweet baby Jeebus... The throttle body is mostly aluminium oxide. The intake ports in the heads are mostly filled with some sort of an oxidation. I'll post pictures when I get home. They will be EPIC!

It's going to be a track car, maybe he was just helping you by taking off the extra weight...
