when you go back to the junk yard, cut the pig tail for that alt you picked up, i think it might be different. or see if yours matched up.

nice find.

fixed the shifter linkage in the cobalt. no more pulling on the cable for this kid!

I black vinyled my roof like a boss. Except now I have to redo it because I ****ed it up. Oh well. Next step is to do the mirrors to hide more paint damage :P

we have motor boats too and honestly their more enjoyable less work and headace plus racing competivley is stupid expensive every year you need new sails which is $2k and every couple of years you need a new boat which start at $18k and this is for these small 20 foot boatsthe bigger they get the more hasle and money.

i said learn not buy one lmao.

but its got to be so peaceful to only hear the wind and the sound of water on the hull. maybe the radio on at a nice vol, so you can all talk. vs screaming over the engine and not being able to even hear the radio at wot lol.

I went on a cruise on a 5 mast sail boat, the sails went up and down with electric motors, only time anybody touched a sail was if a rope got stuck.

and it was a sail boat that was steel hull - and it did not have the same amenities of a luxury cruise ship, but atleast i didnt have to do any work, so it wasnt too bad, nice to be out on the ocean.

washed it.

look at the water dance

Whooo! looks good!

Me, I washed all the windows including sunroof, inside and out. They were nasty. I was going to put some rain-x on, then realized it was pointless since it never rains anymore and the glass was a bit to hot for it. And I stood there and admired her backside, its amazing what a difference the tips and new inlay make!

Then I washed windows on moms van and wiped it down with quick detailer. Van isn't pretty but it's sure shining now! Maybe she'll notice when she gets home tomorrow.

Two best days in a boat owner's life? The day he buys it, and the day he sells it.

Get a motorcycle. I told everyone I'd never get one, but when a friend last year said he was going to take a class, I took one with him. I'm 38, and I wish I learned to ride 20 years ago. Would have been great to have a bike in college. Nothing cooler than riding on the back of a bike, wind on you, rubble of the engine, nothing but you and the road. And either your favorite girl riding behind you, or riding on her own bike. I'm going to have my kids riding bikes before they get their driver's licenses.

i agree on the 2 best days of a boat owners life. frigging money pits after a while.


i like to ride bikes. but not around here, its like asking to be killed.

and im driving, im not on the back ever lol
