The oil change...



On Friday I wore the shirt i got when i worked at Bentley Long Island to my Dr. appointment. The Dr. said to me you work at Bentley, I told him i used to. He then told me about his 2008 Bentley Continetal Flying Spur which needed an oil change. After about 3 minutes of talking he gave me his credit card and told me to go to the dealership and buy what i needed to perform an oil service. After the oil filters, new drain plugs, and a new hood orniment the bill totaled $1500. As I bought the parts the guy at the counter goes to me "That will be one thousand five hundred dollors" I then casually said "No problem" and pulled the credit card out of my wallet and gave it to him. On Monday after my classes were over I took a drive to his house. Apon reaching his fairly large house i knocked on the door. I heard a voice saying "Who is it?" I answered "Its Anthony" (I introduced myself to her over the phone 5 minutes before getting to her house). His wife told my to go around the house to the garrage. She opened the door and there it was a huge, black georgous car. On the way home from her house I was so nervous to go on the southern state parkway, but after a mile or two I started to relax and enjoy the ride. The car is so quiet from the inside I couldn't really hear the cars around me. When i got home my mother was waiting in the street with her camera. Video taped me telling about the car. After the oil change was over and Franky wiped off any fingerprints we both left to return the car. He wanted to play with everything but I would not let him, he was lucky I let him or anyone in the car.

Here's the car sitting in our driveway. Such a nice looking car.

Importance of tires



As a mechanic I know pretty much how important tires are for an automobile. They are contructed in such a way to absorb shock from rough road surfaces, and to provide traction so that the car wont loose control in certain weather conditions. I know that tires play a key role in vehicle proformance.



Not only as a mechanic but as a teenager with a camaro I also know that tires play a key role in vehicle proformance. You know what i'm saying? If you don't, just take a look at this video:






At Frank's birthday party on sunday the 12th. I decided to show off my car a little bit to Mark, Matt, Luke and Russell. Well, maybe a lot.

My dream car...





Back probably in september 2007 i saw a camaro for sale. I said to my parents that I really wanted one becsause it is kind of my dream car (I knew pretty much they would not buy one for me because of certain reasons ex. price, ect.). I then just forgot about it. Ok, so, when i was in high school around novemeber one of my teachers came to me and said that she had a car and wanted to know if my vocational school would accept it as donation. So i asked her what type of car it was. She said it was a CAMARO. So I said, in the exact words "I'll take it, whats wrong with it." She said it did not run. She told me, if you can fix it, you can have it. I then said i'll give it a try. To make a long story short i just had to replace the battery and fuel pump. Sooo i now have a 1991 Chevorlet Camaro RS with a 5.0 liter (305 cid) v-8, FOR FREE!!!

It looks a little rough, well , because it is, but i'll be getting it painted soon, still white but probably with two black racing stripes. It will look REALLY nice. I already installed a flowmaster 80 series muffler in it. It has a really nice tone to it.

Just the other day i bought a pair of
shorty headers which i will install
soon. They will noticibly increase
horsepower and torque.
But i'll keep you all posted on all that I do with this car.

I'm back...

Alright here's what happened. I signed up to have a blog in oct. 2007. As you can see i never posted anything. So, I'm back and I'll try to post things somewhat reguarly.
