OT: Why men shouldn't write advice columns

[DJ Spanky]

Hey guys, Rutgers fan here just passing through. The "wife situation" thread made me want to post one of my favorite columns, which I think many of you will enjoy. Personally, I see nothing wrong with it.

I don't know if you can see the sigpic. My latest restore was a 1970 Oldsmobile 98 convertible. I also maintain the three modern cars we drive and a 1993 Harley with 200K miles I bought new.

Nice! I've got a silver 1998 Camaro SS - got it new and have kept it pristine since. Just got it back from the body shop as I clipped a deer last fall with the front bumper. I'm big into muscle cars - got involved with that group when I first started researching this car back in May of 1997. Ended up moderating a couple of muscle car boards, and now moderate the Rutgers Rivals board. Unfortunately I can't drive my SS right now as the gas tank has a leak in it - if I put in more than half a tank, it leaks down and out the tailpipe. Angelo, my mechanic, unfortunately has to drop the rear end in order to get the tank out (it's really crammed up in there), so I'm waiting to schedule a weekend where we can keep it on the lift as we do it.

I dropped the tank on the Olds to replace the fuel gauge sending unit. It was pretty easy since it was mostly behind the rear end and I could slide it past the axel. I was REALLY HOPING to find the build sheet on top the fuel tank since Olds put the tank on as one of the last steps and reportedly sometimes put the build sheet there, but alas, no joy.

Unfortunately the f-body is so cramped that the gas tank is wedged up in there. Can't move it without dropping the rear. I'm also hoping the SFC's I installed don't get in the way - I don't think they should.
