I would much rather be posting a positive comment or gigging my friend Wally, the cup is always half full, Bell but today I have to pass along a sad result to something near to us.

Yesterday Jimmy Johnson went to pick up his motor coach...his home and tow vehicle...only to find it still has problems. After being our of commission for 3 months and selling his belongings to pay the repair bill...along with nearly $2000.00 in donations from this RacersReunion family he is back to square one.

The coach was originally down due water leaks from one head and the radiator. After these items were repaired an reassembled it was found there is still water being exhausted leaving them to believe there may be a crack in the block...or the head may still have issues. The best possible result would be they have a bad head gasket....which would hopefully lessen further costs.

Jimmy wants everyone to know how much he appreciated your donations and appreciates your prayers.

This news greatly disappoints me and I know it devastates Jimmy. There has to be something we can do but I'm tapped out at this point and we don't even know yet how much we're going to have to contribute to the IRS to keep all these b.s. government programs running. Ideas? Anyone?

What a change! It's been awhile since I've checked in and I'm quite surprised. It may take me awhile to figure it our but first look it's really great.

Robbie, if my portion is going to you and taking care of the Vets, I have absolutely NO problem with that. I see my portion going to vacations by Michelle and the kids and the private Jet Pelosie used to get back and forth across the country before she got dumped from the head post. It's like The City of Columbia. They put a vote on the ballot to increase sales tax by a penny to fund the bus service and the voters flatly reject it. So, what do the crooks do next? Add $1.50 per month franchise fee to the electric bill of every city customer to fund the buses. I'm not a politically correct guy, as you know, and I am sick of the government taking everything I make to give to those who won't work for a damn thing.

We can hope for it to be a bad gasket or possibly a slip of the head during the installation was the head checked while of for cracks or presure tested. I have ran into the same situation with my dually. I hope the outcome for his engine is better than mine.Keep us advised as to what we need to do.I do know how he fills and it isn't good.

Definelty an unfortunate situation. Please tell me how old and how many miles are on this vehicle. I am a new car dealer service consultant and maybe be able to advise on the best direction to go from here.
