The good ole days. That weekend was hell though. 2 cars, both broke.

1 - broken side gear shaft
1 - broken transfer case
1 - broken u-joint

Yeah, the DSM gods were not smiling on anyone that year.

Even old man Hill had issues on the way to the amusement park.

Yeah, I remember that. I pulled the car off the trailer, headed up to Cedar Point with my buddy and the crank pulley came off taking out all the intake valves. I spent most of the day waiting for Marco's buddy to bring a spare head, than spent most of the night swapping heads only to have the output shaft splines strip. Good times, reminds me why I'm not going this year. :-)
