few new pics

I was bored today, and it was too nice to not do anything car oriented, so i went out to find a new place to take pics, and almost had an electrical fire
It's Gumby's fault.

Done that. It's a lot of fun. They try not to lead on that they're looking but you know they are.
More fun if you get flat on the ground to get a low angle shot. . . then you really get some strange looks :hick:

I've also stood in the bed of my dad's truck to get some high angle shots.

for the past few days, i was smelling a plastic burning smell, similar to a bag being stuck on the exhaust, well today im driving home and the smell got really strong, so i pull over, pop the hood, and smoke was pouring out, so i move to the other side of the car so i could see what was happeneing, and it turns out that my fan connector was on fire! so i had to put that out, and pop the connector off, and take back ways home so i could keep the car moving since my auc fan doesnt work, and my primary fan is the one that just took a dump

not too much damage was done, the connector is still functional, but im going to need a another one before too long

nothing major thankfully, two of my friends had their taurus' go up in flames, so i was flipping out for the moment
