I might be doing a video with my Buddy that bought the GT from Brit. I've also ben talking to him all day about what he needs to order. It leaks oil pretty good, and he is going to pull the motor to seal it all up. After you've pissed around with a SBF a few times, you learn what works long term, and what doesn't for gaskets, etc. He's going to come grab my cherry picker and my extra engine stand this week.

This is the GT he bought...

^^^ maybe not this week after all. He had a family matter come up late last night...

Got part one posted of the Frankie interior/stereo debacle. Geez.... I'd forgotten how big that mess was.

Late last night, my Wife asked me to run over to Walmart to get some items for my daughter (she just had sinus surgery) and I walked out in the garage with the Yaris keys. Frankie, however, gave me "the look", and so I quickly aborted the Yaris plan, and took Frankus. It runs so smooth... it's almost a travesty to pull this 302 out. It's not fast, but damn it is it a blast to drive, LOL.

Seems like one of you fellers was saying you're using Verizon 5G internet?

I just signed up. I hope I don't regret it, but I was able to switch my Wife's phone to unlimited data. I've had her on a 5GB plan for a while (she has gone over a couple times). I am getting the unlimited phone, and the 5G Home Plus package (see below for details) for 95 per month, guaranteed for 3 years. No contract, and the first month is free. I am currently paying 129 per month for her phone and Comcast. My Comcast is a Business dedicated bandwidth plan, BUT it's only a 35mbps/5mbps connection. Verizon is "up to" 300mbps/10mbps. Their gear is all on backorder though... so I won't see it until March 10th. I did also confirm that it has an ethernet port to use with my existing MESH setup.

LOL... I just went in to make sure they did it all correctly, and it gave me another offer to save 10 per month if I enrolled in Autopay. So now it is 85.43 per month.

Just one phone. I also have Verizon, but my work pays for my phone. I haven't had to pay for my own phone for about 15 years, fortunately.

Does this look normal to yall? I have a sticking caliper on the driver front of my Bronco. The darkness is from penetrating oil not brak fluid... yet.

I have money on that brake hose being your issue. Also, I will bet money you're on borrowed time with this joint/connection right here.

This was my F150 way back in 2006 when I redid the front brakes. When I removed the caliper, the hose broke right off.
