How many miles does your truck have? I got a spare 1.8 motor I am thinking about doing a mild NA build to swap in when my 1.6 dies. I figure I can probably get to 500k miles on it, before it rusts out. Stupid rocker panel rust from the northeast.

No matter how tasty they are, one should not rely upon Synder's of Hanover Honey Mustard & Onion flavored Pretzel Pieces as one's sole source of nutritional intake. Specifically, eating an entire 10oz bag of them within a single 24 hour period causes you to have really scary poo.

So instead of being in the 30's like it normally is, it's 55 degrees outside right now at 1 in the morning. Of course I took the opportunity to drop the top and go for a late night cruise. It was gooooooooood

Anybody ever had a form of spinal anesthesia? Now that the day is getting closer, I'm beginning to be a bit nervous over this. The procedure itself isn't that big of a deal really. I was thinking originally I would be put under general, but after a lot of reading, it seems spinal is the more preferable method, since it is safer, and has quicker recovery times with less side effects. I won't know until the day I guess as to which they will use, but it's looking likely I will be awake for this procedure, after a 3-4'' needle is stuck into my spine area. I'm already terrified by needles, and this thought really makes me nervous. I guess as long as they get me something for nerves through my IV, and they give me a local around the injection site, which I think is normal, I will be OK, maybe.

When people freak out like you do (which is normal and common) about stuff like that, the doc will usually give you a couple xanax or something similar to relax you before they start jamming **** into your back.
Don't overthink it man. It only makes it worse.
Good luck. Hope everything works out for ya.

Actually... I'd rather not hear about it right now. Maybe after Thursday. Not sure if they will give me the option. I would prefer the general, since there is no real issue with me having side effects and being drowsy for the rest of the day. I will be sleeping and trying to relax for the remainder of the week and the weekend.
