Any news on Dave's SALEEN?

The other weekend Dave blew a spark plug and I was curious to the progress on it. Anyone heard anything?

hmm, shawn lives right around the corner. he will prolly know something

haha, replacing spark plugs on a 4.6? i heard that is a biggest pain in the ass job to do ever.

Plugs aren't that hard. Looking directly over the intake, they are straight down in between the runners. It's the trucks with the coil packs that are the hard ones.

I repaired the bad spark plug hole and swapped the plugs out last weekend. It is at hanks body shop now having the damage from the tow truck opperator fixed.

Good to hear it's fixed

so did the tow truck company end up taking blame for it? or is he having to pay for it.

What happened on the tow truck? Did he have a hard time getting it off? I could not believe that guy, what an idiot. I am guessing the tow company is paying for it?

Not sure. dave just said it got damaged pulling it off the flat bed.

Man thats a bummer!.. I'd be sick about it.
How does a fender get damaged on a tow vehicle? These guys load and unload cars, all day everyday. If the tow truck driver was responisble, it would be hard not to go off on him...

not trying to stand up for the truck driver, but shawn can relate i belive: i delivered furniture for years. if you know you you have a situation where it is very important that you dont mess up, or you have someone or a group watching you like a hawk you are nervious and 8 out of 10 times u mess up in a situation like that. Im guilty of doing it to people (watching like a hawk) i know that shawn has services in homes that are the same thing. "only the lord is perfect".

It is a bummer. that it happened. most that know dave know that it will be fixed the right way. im sure the outcome will be nice like all there stuff.

When unloading it a block slipped out and i guess he kept unloading it causing the bumper cover to be shoved up bad enough that the headlight bent the fender and the paint on the cover got spider cracks all over. Dad knows the owner of the tow truck and he was sorry for what happend and is taking care of it.
