I never commented on this...WTF!
If your thinking that I'm against Obama because he's Black (1/2), then that shows where "Your" head is at!
In fact, I would have voted for Colon Powell if he was on the ballot, but he was smart not getting caught up in Political crap!
OK, enough Crybaby Bull****......
Anyone ever launch a fan blade through a hood?
I did, while racing a Porsche on my way from LA to Vegas, back in 1978.
I was running hard and heading East on I-10, and a Porsche pulls along side me doing about 80mph. Anyway, he gives me the "Go" signal and we both nailed it. I was driving my 71' 454 El Camino with a 9' Ford rear end and 2:50 gears.
At about 135 the car made a funny noise, and it looked like I hit a crow. I pulled off the road and the Porsche kept going. When I got out I saw a "Rip" in the hood. I looked at the engine and didn't notice anything wrong. I restarted the car and saw the problem, one of the fan blades had "Cleanly" ripped off. It was only a 4 blade fan so I thought I'd just remove the blade until I found a parts place or junkyard. As I started taking off the fan, a guy in an old pick-up pulled over to offer assistance. I asked if he had a hack saw, he did, luckily. I removed the fan and he held it, while I cut the opposite blade off... making it a "Two blade". Riding the rest of the way to Vegas, the car ran well and didn't overheat (60 mph).
I arrived at an auto repair shop and a guy sold me a clutch fan with blade (Used) for $20.00.
FYI: I have more "Car & m/c stories"...then money!
