Back when Azteks were in production, Tim Horton'* (Canada'* version of Starbucks) had a roll-up-the-rim promotion where you could win prizes, up to a brand new Pontiac Aztek. The joke at GM design center was they couldn't sell Aztek'* in the US, and in Canada they gave them away with a cup of coffee.

azteks are gross..


I warshed big sexy

Sarah, big sexy looks good!



I remember that! You couldn't pay me to drive one of those, heck I'm embarrassed to drive them from the parking lot into the shop.

from what im told by my friends when we were at a party i got a little too crazy and apparently i threw up in one, just walked up to it opened the door and threw up.. must have been my subconscious telling me to do that or somehting

I took my Park Ave in for a long overdue alignment today, after replacing the rear struts, and the front outer/inner tie rods, it had gotten pretty off.

A lot of wobble I felt in the left front has diminished, but I can still feel the wobble a tiny bit, it is due to problems with the belts in these cheap Viva 2 Walmart crappy tires.

Wow surprised the front of that car didn't bounce you off the road with the toe being in 3 degrees! LOL. Today I did a safety check, some brakes, wheel bearing, and started the transmission swap in the Aztek so I'll finish that off tomorrow.

Oh it tried to, the steering wheel had a seesaw like wobble, if you looked at it too long you'd get sea sick, lol
I counted the threads, and even measured my old outer tie rods to inner tie rod nut, but still I was a good bit off.

I had a dilemma today while working on the GP. Yes I acctually worked it today. There are 12 bolts that hold the headers and heat sheilds on. This particular bolt bolts into the heads.

^ There are 12 of those for the headers. I broke 9 of them while removing them. They were old and rusty. No surprises there.

I bought a fully threaded stud x12 and 24 nuts for these.

In the end of the bolt there is a Allen wrench. That way I can get it tight into the head.

Every single place I went. No one had this bolt. It'* been long since discontinued. I guess that'* the joy of working on old cars.

Yeah, but you get to make better new stuff for it.
