Roads are pretty bad out--I was out riding my scooter today, and there was this guy driving a pickup behind me who couldn't even catch up--let alone pass me.

Here's what I'll tell you for those who think Mandie/gsxr750girl was a nice person. You bought the bullshit she sold you. I knew her through friends here for a few years. Hung out with her a few times mid 2009. Then she dated Nate a few months, while fucking around with on him with some other dude(married) by way of text, email, facefuck, myspace or whatever. Nate dumps her and a few months later she's slinging her bullshit to me. I see potential, but know her past. Don't get me wrong, I did like her. I give her the opportunity to un-fuck her ways and be straight up on things. She's all for it and tired of the drama. So for a few months she was on track. My work got demanding for a bit. And I had to go away to set up a school for a few weeks. Next thing you know she's talking to her EX. Everyone told me this would happen. I confronted it, "oh god, give me a second chance”. “I was just getting closure with him and he was crying saying he was going to kill himself". And by EX, it was not Nate. So I set the parameters of what's needed to try again, and she's all for it. Loves me to death and gets my dog tags tattooed on her back left shoulder a few weeks later. It must be love, right? 3 weeks later she complains that her sister in-law thinks I talk to her like a child. I said if you don't like it, grow up and get your own place and not move back in with mom and dad(she's 28). I had been paying for everything while she "paid dept from her EX off". She says she thinks she wants to be single for a while and I try to work things out, but she's done. Goes and gets the tattoo covered with some memorial for a friend from high school. For 3 months, she spent the summer leaching off people in the boat scene on the lakes and seeing a few guys and partying. Then she wants to patch things up with me. Tells me she hasn’t done anything with anyone and just wants things back to where they were with us. Not going to lie, we had had great times and I wanted that back too. Turns out, I was pretty much played by her. So, I knew how she has been, but I try one more time. And I'm seeing red flags everywhere. Bullshit stories on top of each other. She always wanted a dog and I got her one. Took her camping because we wanted to go. Get out there and she's a huge pain in the ass. Complaining and being a spoiled bitch the first morning and I start breaking camp to leave after she says she will have someone come get her. Then she's changes things up when I wouldn't play along. I knew there was something else going on. So, we get back in town and she says she's going shopping with her mom and grandmother. Ok, that's cool. Then next day tells me her dad has been saying she needs to spend more time at home and also that she misses him. Fine, no issue with that. She text me that night saying they were watching her favorite movie and having a great time hanging out. It just didn't feel right. Next morning I went to see her dad at his work. It's close to where I work. And I just ask him everything straight up. He blows her cover and tells me she never shopped with her mom and that he saw her for about 30 minutes that night and she left. He tells me he never knew we were back together and she had told me her folks were excited about it. I told him I was done and apologized for putting him in that position. There are some great people on this site who have known her a long time. I have seen her call you when she needs you, and only when you are needed to fix some shit she has gotten herself into. Her bikes broke, needs a favor. Why? Why do we keep giving this person a second chance, third and forth chances too. Mandie burns people. The grass is always greener on the other side to her. She will come off with the greatest of intentions and little by little, become a piece of shit and cater to whoever gives her a compliment. Her friend base will always shit with those that are close to her, because close to Mandie never seems to last more than a year. And I mean that from her best friend, to whoever she is in love with. She will burn you and then say she needs another chance. Problem is, she never appreciated the first chance you gave her and she just does the same crap again and now you're out the time and effort, knowing this is just how she is. She’s never held accountable for her actions and just shifts from friends to friends burning bridges. Are you the next bridge? This is all shit I have told her. I gave someone an opportunity they didn’t deserve. She told me all the same shit she told the other guys she fucked over. To include, “I put on 14lbs and think I’m pregnant”. “I kind of hope I am and it could fix us”. Nope, turns out you’re chuncky and getting worse. So there it is. If anyone has a issue with this and is her real friend. We can all sit down and see who is telling the truth. Just don’t be a bitch about it and run your mouth without knowing what really is going on. Maybe an intevention would help her. Randy, I'm fine talking with you too. I'm sure the shit she told me about you can't be all true.

Just hit it from the back using natures condom. The Colon!

Try the intake.

Early X-Mas present to me. Yeah, it maybe a girly gun...but you'll never know im carrying. Still have to take the class still...Oh, and shoot it too I guess.

Since we are talking 3.8's and GN's here is some info on my uncles 87 GN and a few pics. In the article it says he has run a 10.57, iirc he has run in the low 10.4's since the article was written. This was from a write up about him on a Turbo Buick site. "I would hazard a guess that there are not many original owner Grand Nationals (or Turbo T/ T-Types) around 20+ years after they were new. And probably fewer still that are driven the way Buick intended them to be. That, to me, makes Mike’s car that much more special. I asked him home he got into Buicks and this is his story. “I was originally a Chevy guy. I bought a LS-6 Chevelle new in 1970 and raced it every week in 71 before I got married in 72. It ran low 12's and I won a lot of races in 71.” (Isn’t this how Red got started?!?) “After I got married we sold the Chevelle. In 1987 a friend at work took me a ride in his T-Type and that started the fire again for performance. I worked in engineering for GM and drove company cars so I immediately entered a request for a GN to drive as my company car. There were some screw ups in the order system and I almost missed out but I got one of the last ones built in Oct 87. It was one of five GN's that were going to Harrison Radiator Div. in Lockport, NY but had not been assigned. I drove the car until March 88 and then bought it at a very good price. My wife and I agreed that the LS-6 Chevelle had gotten away from us but we would keep the GN and I've been a Buick guy ever since.” “I didn't take the GN to the track until I think 91 where I met , AKA ‘XCESSIV’” (another original GN owner I believe, who also ran THS in Columbus in 2009), “and a group of Turbo Buick guys at TriState (Dragway in Hamilton, Ohio). I took it to the track in 92 and ran a 13.90 with a Kenny-Bell chip. I've been running it ever since. I was running mid 12's still stock when I blew a head gasket in 96. I then upgraded with Champion heads, a 210-205 cam, and a TE-44 turbo with blue tops and ran this until 2005 when an intake runner cracked at BG spraying water into the # 3 bore leaving a hair line crack. The best I ran with this combo was 11.08 @ 123. I then talked to my very good friend Lee Thompson about helping me build a new combination with the goal of mid 10s.” “Here is my current combination. Motor - NA 109 bored to 3.820 with a Weber 3.55" stroker rotating assembly, internal balanced and a girdle installed. The rods and mains have .0015 max clearance. The cam is a 218-224 billet hydraulic roller. The Champion iron heads have T&D 1.5 roller rockers installed. The injectors are 60 lb Motechs and I have a dual M 10 nozzle Razor alky system. The turbo is a Limit TE-45a with a stock location Mark Jackson 20 row intercooler for the stock look. I use the stock computer with a TurboTweak chip. Transmission - 200 4-R set up to shift at 6000 rpm with Alto Red clutches and intermediate band, with billet servo, input shaft, forward drum & overdrive carrier. The converter is a Precision 5 disc with a 0 pump. Rear end - Stock with Mosier axles, air bags and HR Parts lower arms. Front suspension - 90/10s with the sway bar removed. Exhaust - stock headers with a 3" TH down pipe and an Applied Technologies 2 1/2" dual exhaust. Tires - M/T 9.0/15-28 ET drags with stock fronts all on Convo Pros. The car weighs 3750 with me and 1/2 tank of gas and has 39,000 miles. Best ET 10.54 Best MPH 128.5 @ 25 lbs - still tuning.” Still has the A/C hooked up, and blows as cold as it did in 87, radio with power antenna, completely stock interior, stock drive shaft, stock rear end gearing. “The below picture of Mike and his car was taken in Norwalk, Ohio in 2009 on its way to a 10.57 ET.”

If that skill could be taught Nick would be the next Tony Robbins.

Here's a quick edit of the first shot. I edited the right half of the image so you could see it vs the left side all in one shot. http://www.pbase.com/timothylauro/image/131083895/original.jpg

I wasn't joking about I am an idiot if caught riding like that because if I was it certainly would be outside of my skill set and would be out of control. When Casey does it it's a controlled slide and it is not him acting like an idiot. People riding on back country roads at 50 M.P.H. getting passed by people who are going 70 M.P.H. on sport bikes think the people passing them are idiots but I would venture to say most of them are under control. The guy riding in the snow appears to have a sufficient skill set to be doing so and we have no proof to debate otherwise except for someone’s assessment of his actions. Not all assessments of others actions are based in truth but are based on their perceptions of truth which don't apply to everyone.

Heres a quicky http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i169/1fynzx/Smooth.jpg

Based on that logic, it's not really any different than riding in the rain, or at night for that matter. In fact, why am I riding at all? I could be run over at any minute!

You better tell us why before we make up something really good.

If we are going to discuss that we will need a whole new thread for "Professional Idiots" and I will be running for president. (Good as can be expected and will have swelling for a year. Will never have full use of it but can't complain, I still have a finger.)

all Fonz' Word docs are belong to us...

Vespa riders usually want a steamy Hot Cockalate after a cold days ride.

Bout time all you wannabe "Captain Save-A-Ho" figured it out!

That's cause it'd never reach.

I guess we need to just outlaw snow...

I can but Im smarter then that. There is a difference between being capable of something and putting yourself in a situation where you a danger to yourself and everyone else on the road. If you would have saw the way he was sliding maybe it would make more sense. Either way, there is a point where the danger of doing something outweighs the capability to do it. He was a fool for riding that thing today and if I were a cop I would have given him a ticket for wreckless op because he was acting in a way that was a danger to him and everyone else around him.

Because he actually knows how to nut up, instead of just claiming it and putting nuosu everywhere?

I just figured your wife woulda bought you one for Christmas...lol

Rep to you Quit stealin' Nick's line Gravedigger

Make sure you get it tested before you use it. Once you race on it, it's like racing with everyone that's ever raced on it.

Or fight for a bigger allowance?

Guys, have a single turbo '03 Cobra. Saw a ton of hits on the Photobucket account from this website and had heard about it through the grapevine. More of an east coast guy with ties to the mid atlantic, philadelphia, south jersey, delval scene. Wanted to see what the references to my car was and make sure no one was calling me out, heck of a trailer ride out to Columbus. Just a little pump gas street car: http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z117/351carlo/1290372123033.jpg
