Subject: [BaadAssGremlins] Disgusted

I am like the guy that was on here before with being very disgusted with the 
hobby. Put the water pump on the Gremlin weekend before and thought I had all 
the mechanical fixed. The street rod nationals are here and I have been 
anticipating them being here for a long time. Get into my Gremmie and ride around 
the fairgrounds and show those 12,000 fanatics what a real classic car is like. 
Will ride around the fairgrounds and show them a Gremlin. Went to my mothers 
old house where I keep it in the garage and he started right up. I was going to 
bring him home to shine him up. I got him home and smelled gas. Lifted the 
hood and the damn carburetor is pouring gas out. Looks like it is coming out at 
the bottom of the float bowl. The carb is not that old. I called around of 
course the best I can find is one place said they could have one by Monday. Three 
days too late. The price isn't bad $119. If I can find gaskets I am going to 
try and put the one I took off him back on it for the weekend. Maybe I can 
salvage Saturday but with my luck it won't happen. Maybe I should just get rid of 
him and let someone who really enjoys working on them have fun. I love my 
Gremmie and love to drive him and show him off but I am getting to old to work on 
him. I just don't have the drive anymore. This just ticks me off the second 
biggest car event of the summer and mine is sitting in the driveway. If I can't 
getting him running tomorrow night I guess I will have to take my rice 
burner. Actually while I can't put it in a show I am proud of my rice burner. I know 
you all just got sick. 1992 Toyota Celica. On a scale of 1-10 I would give it 
a 7. $800. Will I feel better now. Thanks for letting me vent. I know I am 
not going to get rid of Gremmie. If I don't having him running this weekend I 
will have him running by the time of the show in the park in Sept. That is the 
big one for me, It just gets disgusting though.
Terry. 

Terry,its time for formula 343-401 that will give you a whole new renewed vigorance towards your gremlin and those who see you hit the streets in it >:)
