Please, not the foosball table, anything but the foosball table. Please when I start drinking, keep me away from that thing Brett or I will be forced to pick up a wrench and work on someones car.

You cant resist the foosball table. It owns you, its tabley goodness captivates you and you are helpless. Only thing you can do is drink and play, drink and play.

Too bad I didn't live closer. I have a big collection of full size video games in my basement. I loose count, maybe 16-18 video games and 10 pinball machines (2 are a friends for repair). You name I probably have it or got it. Ms pac, pacman, donkey kong, dig dug, centipede, galaga, galaxian, Donkey kong Jr, burgertime, etc.....Opps forgot Golden Tee 99. If I wasn't bringing my car to work on I would throw my Ms Pacman and Donkey Kong cocktail games in the Expedition and bring them down. Problem is more games = less work. The only game I don't have is a foosball and pool table.

Brett, did you ever check those resources I pointed you towards? That transmission in my white car that I picked up from them for 450 is still running great and actually got better with time (maybe from the fluid circulating and cleaning the system out). So far so good, got my 450 bones out of it for sure. The manual trannys were the same price. I also found a shop that rebuilds them, as in sends you a rebuild and you send them yours, it's all included in the quoted price, they seemed pretty professional and would have used them if I hadn't dropped the big bucks for the mitsu dealer refurb, but they are http://www.mantrans.com/ (anyone have any dirt on them?). Also I met that guy at the NG who was one of the sponsors and is based out of Detroit, seemed to be a pretty straight shooter, don't remember the name but have his number somewhere, they rebuild yours. Anyway, you need to quit BITCHIN about it and get that damn thing fixed  . Don't make me beat your ass at foosball to motivate you, I'll do it! I'm about to start a "Save Brett's tranny" fund-raiser.

Alright, so in the last couple days on the VR4, the oil-pressure light comes on and stays on after about 20 minutes of driving. But again, no excessive knocking or noises from the engine, just the usual lifter tick that I've heard for the last eight years. This was the same as on my DOHC and I replaced the oil-pressure switch and wah-la! Problem was solved, hasn't come on since. A lot of you found that hard to believe but I have since put about 6k miles on it and no oil-pressure light ever. So I'll probably bring another oil pressure switch out to replace on the VR4 since we are already replacing the oil pressure sender since they are in the same place. Let me know any thoughts to the contrary.
Danke! (As opposed to dookie)
Bret

I have been trying to stay busy with work to help get over sam. I have also taken on a doorway drug (world of warcraft) to help speed me toward emotional recovery. So If I'm not at work, I'm playing that or sleeping. I am still planning on attending the festivities. The fact that I got bumped off the list and a freaking foosball table replaced me is comforting.

OMG d00dZor now way. you play WoW?
Horde or Alliance? I've got a pally on Shadowsong. Drop me a line. A few of my college freinds are pretty hardcore into that game, and I got infected by it also... not quite as bad as them though...

You are just now finding the drug called WoW?? I have been on it since the day it came out. I have killed more brain cells doing that drug then anything else in my life.  I have characters on Runetotom and Teneras.
