  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    So yesterday afternoon the daughter calls me and says that her GS Clone has this huge cloud of smoke following her as she drives along the highway. I tell her to just drive it here to the shop asap. As she pulls in I see the trail of trans fluid leaking and the smoke around the car as its burning off the beutifull exhaust (2.5 inch X pipes) I told her that it was done we need to add fluid (5 QTS) and run to the trans shop asap to get it fixed... I drove it she followed me in the S10. As I entered I70 towards town I knew if anyone got into the mile long smoke trail their windsheild would be toast. So here I am at 70-75 in the fast lane and most people were staying back as they should have but I passed a late 70s vette and he saw a potential victim... So I just kept on rolling and maybe speeded up a little to energize him ...maybe not :Brow: So instead of him staying in his lane (3 lanes) he was zipping in and out of traffic to catch me as I got to about 85 he then proceeds to fly right up behind me in the smoke ............................then he hit the wipers...................... then he hit the brakes.....:Do No: I just kept on going he never did try to get up beside or behind me again. :laugh: When I got to the trans shop the owner laughed and said "yup another TH350 front seal job this week this make 12 of them so far" I didnt see much humour in it really since the car was dripping trans fluid from the rear bumper....:dollar:

    Reminds me of the old video game "SpyHunter". You'd hit the smokescreen and lose the bad guys!!

    "Spyhunter"..... WOW..... I feel old. I spent many of .25 cent pcs in that game along with Tron.....

    Spyhunter would just suck you in.... then the damn helicopter would come....

    great classic arcade game.

    here's to growing up in arcades at the mall and not in front of the TV.....:beers2: ..... at least we were out of the house and we had to ride our bikes about a mile to get there.....
