^ I like it! Didn't do much more than drive mine to Terre Haute. Yesterday I changed the oil and put plugs on some of the extra vacuum ports.

Got the wifey's new Festiva running good, threw on some tires, intermediate pipe, muffler, cap, rotor, wires, wiper blades and painted up all three wiper arms. Took it for a ride tonight and it is a shweet little car. Got it right just in time to take the kids back to school on Thursday.
Yea well that's what I've been telling my old lady.. she doesn't want to set aside funds for me to get jackstands, I've been nagging her for the last 8 months about it. I've got 2 hydraulic jacks but one loses pressure like you say yours does, the other is just wore out completely, bother duralast jacks from azone, 3-5 years old, they probably just need lube but I don't trust them because they do lose pressure. As much as I'm under our vehicles I hope she got my point today about the jackstands. Thankfully, I had the tires blocked, and it kept it from straight rolling on top of me in a heartbeat. Maybe now she understands why I constantly yell at her boys when they get near me while I'm working on a suspended vehicle. I don't have any cinder blocks or stumps or anything in my tiny yard to use either, trust me I've been trying to get something for awhile now, granted it never was top priority.
She was actually in the garage port about 20 feet away and came screaming at me asking if I was ok when she heard it hit the ground.
Really, there's no one to blame but myself, I shouldn't mess with it unless it's "secure" but at the same time I have to do what I HAVE to do, and I don't have the $ to pay someone else to do it.
I would've responded; "So how about them jackstands?"
Buck.

Pulled some Blaupunkt TS 4" dash speakers for my car, and some two point rear belts to make installing the car seat base easier. Also got a couple of parts for other members. Still no windshield yet though lol.
Replaced a bad plug on my disty in Lucky, it had some suspect looking wires going into it. I also checked the TPS and installed a new o2 sensor. Hopefully that will keep the CEL off today on my way back to Raliegh. I thought I had a faulty ECU, but I hooked another one up yesterday but it made no change. But I did get to road test one of my B376 spare's I had laying around.
