I took those weights off of the 8.8. I wonder if they ever did anything with my 3.73's, doesn't seem like it.

Technically not 'today' but my sons were playing in the car and put it in reverse. When I got in and started it it jumped backwards. My door has a new crease...I'm gonna call it a brake duct or something.

How did it jump?
Did you not put the clutch in?
An auto doesn't start in gear, so it must be a stick ... and the jumping? What's up with that?

Yeah, it's a stick. I leave it in neutral always (unless I'm on a hill) so I just didn't think to check when I started the car. I usually start, let the clutch out, and sit there letting it warm up while I fix my mirrors, fix the radio, get buckled in, etc...
So yeah, I let the clutch out and it jumped. I actually caught it before it stalled but yeah...

That's why you always jiggle your stick first :rotflmao:

A shop left a car in gear and my friend had a remote start so when he started it drove straight into a pole.

First weekend I owned the Bullitt, my dad parked it and left it in gear. I started it and if it had not been for a quick reaction, I would have reversed right into his workbench.

Ever since that point I've always been a stick jiggler and it has saved me a billion times, especially since I jump from car to car on a daily basis.

Looks like you are going to give your best to walk away with Mo's money.

I figure I'll have a fighting chance if I can get the car done and dialed in before Bowling Green. BG is always a good time, this will add to it for sure.
