Ugh, I'm not good at stories, so let me just cut to the chase here.

My car has really no bling to it. I have borlas, and don't be jealous, but I also have Lloyds mats. I know, I shouldn't do so much to the car.

I'd post a picture of the engine bay - but it's nekkid, and it's really a lil shy when it comes to photos that might appear on the internet. You know that risk of being circulated around.

So with that said, my birthday is next wednesday and I truly think this would make a great Birthday AND Valentines Day present.

I hope with this said, you will consider me as the winner for the Caps.

Count me in. To try to give myself an edge as far as need, when I stopped for gas this afternoon, I randomly removed 4 of the 7 stock caps and misplaced them somewhere near the gas pump. My car was smoking from under the hood when I got home and smelled like I was burning oil or something. Now I'm skeered to drive it.

I have not been able to work on my Vette since September when my hand was crushed ( 4 broken bones and nerve damage) helping a neighbor with a project. Chrome caps would be a nice mod that I could do 1 handed.

And they look

And if I don't win I will have to come up with a real good story to tell my wife why I bought them.

Second time i have had expenses on the rebuild of my turbos in less than a year and now i have to rebuild the motor because of bad numbers on a leak down test. So there's no money for engine mods for quite awhile.




Still in the shop waiting for the rebuilt turbos to come back. Engine is done.

Chrome caps are a gateway drug. It starts with the chrome caps and then the next thing you know you just clicked buy on a brand new chrome maggie. LOL

Count me in for the running on a free set

Lucky looks a bit different in real life. He has been wandering around here for awhile though...



A good bath could clean him up a bit.

Hey, this topic is about those really cool engine caps

Let's see...Here's my engine bay...



So, no accents there. But it's a great looking car even straight from the factory, so I can't say I have got to have a set, but when the wife and I get our bills paid off I'm of a mind to perform some vital image enhancement, so the the caps will embark me on the road of good intentions...
