GH85Carrera 02-25-2012 08:02 PM

HAHAHAHAHAHA, I got a letter from geico asking me to take a survey rating my satisfaction level!
This is gonna be fun!

GH85Carrera 02-25-2012 08:21 PM

I will never be a geico customer. But they do have a great ad agency. The cave man, the duck and several other funny ads. That must be what they spend the money on, not customers.

GH85Carrera 02-25-2012 08:22 PM

Good night guys. Saturday night in the big town. Party party.

Marketing and Ad guys have all the fun, and make most of the money... :D

Why the sale, Sid?

A family of three really has no need for 3 3/4ton trucks. The other diesel is a 4wd which we need and the CNG truck is just damned cheap to drive. They will both pull anything we pull with this truck, and it went nearly 2 months without being driven. At the moment its worth a bit more than we have in it, so we might as well send it on down the road. Dad is looking at buying a nicer CNG truck to eventually replace the 4wd dodge, and to do that he would need the money from this truck. In the short term though, this will clear off a small bank note, and make our insurance bill a bit less.

RKDinOKC 02-25-2012 09:45 PM

Just a few marks...

Looking good, Stick.
Never seen one out of the car.
More compact than I thought.
Who is doing the build for you? :)

RKDinOKC 02-25-2012 09:50 PM

Bottom end looks good, almost like new...

Ya. Basically my folks are trying to pair down bills right now. Business is good, time to start cutting expenditures and putting a little back. They are trying to get to the point that everything is paid for, and if they want to take a week off, they can and not worry about it....

vas930 02-25-2012 09:54 PM

Sounds like a good plan, Sid.
How old are your parents, Sid ?
If thats not rude.

I may have my first gig building a guitar for pay. I had a nice long talk with the guy tonight and we will hopefully meet in person this week and possibly get things under way.

The guy on the left, his name is Sean Ratt. Started by working on his own and helping the guy on the right work on his. The guy on the right is Roger Tyson and is one of the big 3 928 parts suppliers. Sean has gotten such a good reputation, and so much work he quit his job and does nothing but wrench 928s and for only $75/hr. Roger was kind enough to move a restoration back on one of his cars so they could get me back on the road.

I wish I had gone down to help, I understand there were 3 other 928 guru's helping and lots of wine and beer involved in pulling the motor today.
