Shelby's Graduation Present

We worked on Shelby's car all day. I took it over to the garage yesterday. I guess a wheel cylinder blew on it last nite. Rick almost drove it into his Camaro.  :pity: I knew the brakes felt a little weak. So I figured it was time for new shoes and pads. And a wheel cylinder.  :icon_smile_blackeye: I had new tires put on for her a couple wheels ago. Our car buddies are great friends. :cheers:  Rick did the brakes , while Eric installed an amp, kicker box and new speakers. Eric wouldn't go along with Rick on the test drive. He didn't want to be seen in the pink car.(with a guy)  :rofl: :rofl:  Shelby is still at work and hasn't seen it, yet. I'll make her suffer a little longer , driving my car. :D  But she worked hard to graduate early . :2thumbs:  And she just got admitted to Penn State. So, congrats Shelby. :cheers:

You're like the nicest mom ever.  Tell her congrats on getting accepted to Penn State.

sick dawg

Is it a stereo powered car? That speaker is bigger than the back seat!
CONGRATULATIONS!

        Congratulations on getting in Penn State!

         The rear cylinder on my 84 had a real slow leak and even though

          I check the fluid levels regularly one time  the pedal went soft on

          I-95 exit ramp  :eek2: 

              Good job keep her safe with new brake cylinder,

              mine will be changed before the next drive

Thanks guys. Shelby was just outside blaring the stereo. And she loves the pink brake drums , calibers and the pink speaker covers. She's calling Rick and Eric to thank them. And she said she's buying them lunch at Carlilse.

Yep,
Looks great. I bet Shelby is very grateful to have a mom as awesome as you.  :2thumbs:

Looks good, is it going to be at Carlisle. She's lucky to have someone that buys her tires, I have to buy my own. Congrats on Penn State, my bro got accepted there.

Shelby doesn't burn her tires off. :nana: :rofl: :rofl:  We'll both be at Carlisle . I'll have the Chally and she'll have the Daytona it will be over with the FWD's.( you can't miss it) And I know she will stop by the Charger tent to say hi to everyone.

Congrats on getting into Penn State. :2thumbs:  She will be turning some heads in that thing for sure.  Speaking from experiance, she might want to find a good storage location away from the parking lots, as alot of car damage occurs there.......

Thanks, we have a really good friend that lives right across the street from the campus. I'm sure he'd let Shelby park in his driveway.  :2thumbs:

The real present in my opinion would be paying the ticket for the subs.

Jackie,

You should be very proud. I know that you are.

Congrats to Shelby!

Wish I could get my kid motivated. Kid is frigging smart but unfortunately, as Brian (NHCharger) put it, "The boy has a whole lot of quit in him".

Count your blessings!

I give it two weeks at college and that car will be broken into and the subs stolen.  Maybe try and find a toneau(?) cover that can roll over the speakers from the top of the back seat to the end of the car. 

Congrats on getting into Penn State.  :2thumbs:  What is her major going to be?

Being taken care of as we speak. :icon_smile_big:
