I had a good time today! Fowljesse and VancouverWA came over as well to cjthor's mx-3 smashing party... and man what a great party!! :freak:

maybe next week we can actually get around to doing some performance upgrades to real mx-3's?? either way I'm glad we were able to get rid of the parts mx-3... it's just been sitting for months! There was some talk initially about cutting the top off targa style or making a convertible... but we never got around to it...

Here's some semi-time lapse pics and some cool forklift/mx-3 video action!! :o :shock:

Man that's one stripped MX'3. Compared to that one mines still full O parts. I hope that wasn't the hoist you guys were talking about. lol Is Jesse really that big or was it just his checked shirt? He looks a little like Paul Bunyan (lumberjack) without the beard. lol

I know you believe that you understand what you think I said but I'm sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

Yeah, man, that was good. I got to blow off some steam. I've been ornery lately. Someone parked a new Ford F-350 on the sidewalk where I wanted to walk, so I rocked it, looking for an alarm, and smacked his mirrros in while he watched from the living room window. My patience was almost non-existant, so it was good to tear down the car. I wish I could afford the fighting gym :shrug:

Daninski, It's smoke and mirrors, and camera angle :wink:

I did lift the car, and balance it 3 times before Moooneggs came along. By the time we tried to video it, the supports shifted, and I couldn't get the balance right, but Cjthor got a couple pictures of me lifting it off the supports (Photobucket won't let me rotate them):

Sorry about the bolt cutters:

I had the Testosterone all up :twisted: I'm glad I could loosen the nuts and bolts that were too tight for the air tools, though :)

I wish I could have stayed for the cutting. Good job!
