Driving back from Vernal/Flaming Gorge I saw a family of 5 or 6 in a Supercrew Ford truck with a second family of 5 or 6 sitting in camp chairs the bed of the truck... gotta love them hillbillies I wish I would have thought to get pictures, but I was more worried about getting around them before someone flew out of the bed...

And the scenery out that way is amazing. From sandstone formations, to red rock, to thick aspen woods, meadows, evergreens, then your typical utah desert and more scenery that is just cool to look at... all in a 40 mile stretch. Sometimes I'm glad to live in Utah... sometimes.

Pics for those who are bored. http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v2...aming%20Gorge/

And a POS ruining the scenery

yep. Driving stupid most of the way, unless there was a truck in front of me. 9 out of 10 vehicles on the road were diesel pickups, and they all thought they were driving sports cars for some reason...

you know its a miata right?
some people think because its a piticular car company its always gonna be FWD or then there are some just plainly stupid people too.
honda cars for a long time was strictly FWD in the states but now they have gone all funky on us throwing curve ***** like all wheel drive and pick up trucks....

i have a good pic related to this lemme find it....

edit:
here we go

Ok Im doing my brakes now but I HAVE to change out all the brake fluid. do you drain it all out first then bleed the system? Starting with the master cylinder then the rear brakes and so forth? I see that being the easiest way anyways

you could always just undo the brake lines at the caliper, undo the line at the M/C blow them out with air, then drain the fluid in the M/C and flush it out with new fluid, or you can bleed them over and over until fresh fluid comes out.

5 or 10 pumps on an open corner will clear it out.

When I replace the fluid in a brake system, I attach a drain hose over the valve, open it, pump several times, refill reservoir, and repeat until fresh fluid is draining out the corner. After that, the other corner is 2-3 pumps. Then to bleed the system of air, use a friend to pump & hold, or a 2x4 against the drivers seat.

yea i do nismos way too, a bit easier.
one way to speed up the process a bit is some how suck all the old fluid out of the res. and fill it with new stuff. just gets the old fluid out alot quicker since if you were bleeding them you'd be draining the res any way.

a harbor freight hand pump should do the trick and then fill er up
