So yesterday on a beer run, the k5 cut off on me.... y’all have no idea the range of emotions when that big asshole cuts off in the middle of a curve on Davenport farm. Thank God I just stabbed the clutch in and coasted. Which I was surprised how quiet this big girl is coasting at 20 mph into the walk-all-over-you parking lot. Well whenever I have car trouble I call my mom, just to kinda give her an idea of where I’m at, and a heads up. Well then I texted two buddies to atleast have someone on stand by Incase I needed a lift to the casa to grab a few things.
Literally have another whole fuel pump setup, and basically a mini shop in the garage a few miles down the road. Well I had no tools and I wasn’t hearing the fuel pump kick on, but I was sure I had over a half tank of fuel. Even slapping the sides of the tank you could hear fuel inside, plus sometimes till jar a fuel pump enough to get it working again. But you can’t do it with your purse, you gotta man hand that shit.
Well I realize I have not damn thing in the k5 for tools, but I’m doing wiggle test and I’ve had issues with a terminal being loose. And I reckon some pothole that I hit while squeezing a lemon must have jarred it loose. Well about the time I figure this, out I didn’t make it back to the parking lot so I’m in the middle of the driveway, these cars are trying to get around. I’ve got both doors open, and these people are like wtf this guy doing. I’m in the passenger seat, feet hanging out the door, and hit the key to start it up.
Oh it was it’s granny gear so now I’m trying to get in the driverseat because we are off to the races. I can’t stop laughing, these people are looking at me like I’ve got a dick on my forehead. I still love this piece of shit because of the sounds it makes when I crack the throttle, even if it’s very eventful at times. Meanwhile it will definitely start going forward in granny gear high range. I swapped a manual transmission into it because man things, but it’s still wired for an auto, ie it doesn’t have a neutral safety switch. That rockauto starter is a mother fucking hoss though, pretty sure it’s a new Delco one, lol.
Picture because someone sent them after they saw me in town. Had a buddy ask last night what do I daily, I slapped the fender and smiled like a retard.
