Waterproofing acknowledged!

I waterproofed the back of the motor. I added a piece of wood under it, with a rubber mat under that that is attached to the sides of the car. It's hard to explain. I'll take a picture later. Also, I put sheet metal over the vents in back, JB welding them into place, since the vents keep leaking water all over the dang motor! Now I should be able to drive it in the rain. I still need to fix the shimmy, but it hasn't shimmied a bit since I have been keeping the speed at or below 30 mph. I need some suggestions for mean-spirited and/or really funny bumper stickers to put on the car. I've been brainstorming and here is what I have:

My car emits no pollution, but your car does, so neener neener neener!

I hope you die from Carbon Monoxide Poisoning.

Gas, it's not just the stinky stuff out of people's bottoms, but also out of tailpipes.


As you can tell, the list needs some work.
