    Tell me what is wrong

     



    My engine sounds horrible at idle and makes a screaming noice when I leave a stop light. What's wrong with it?

    My transmission shifts way to hard and hurts my neck. What's wrong with it?

    My front wheels turn in mid air when I leave a stop light? What's wrong with it?? I don't know anything that is in the car for equipment. Could you please help??

    Weeg,

    Sounds like you have excessive weight in your right shoe! It is sometimes brought about by the need for adrenilin rush or a perceived challenge from the guy in the hot car (not as hot as yours of course) in the other lane. In my experience the only cure is the repeated appearnce of blue lights in your rear view mirror. In absence of that happening, I suggest you just enjoy the experience!

    Of course, that's just my opinion, I could be wrong!

    Lets see here



    Engine sounds horrible at idle, Could be the sweet cam.

    Screaming noise when you leave a stop light, could be the super charger belt having fun.

    Tranny breaks your neck, could be missuse of the B&M slap shifter.

    Wheels turn in mid air, could be you turning the wheel while you look out your window to see how bad you smoked the dude next to ya.

    Hope this helps weeg

    You all have really good suggestions on what my problem is. I will have to look into those.

    Pat is right about the flashing lights. I was cruisin the 54 Studebaker one nice afternoon, and a Highway Patrol pulled me over. I figured I must have done something wrong, but had no idea what. He said "Nah, just wanted to look at your car". We compared engines between his patrol camaro and my studebaker. He didn't want to trade drivetrains.

    In parting he did say "Ya really should have a plate on the front, but I won't make ya put it on".
