had the from out at CRP today to get a feel for it. felt pretty good, gonna have to work out some gearing for it to get it right, but it has potential to be a wicked mini gp bike. the junk rear sets that are on it now have to go, i have a set of Driven rear sets on the way to replace them. im gonna have to go to a smaller front tire, the bigger tire I'm running rubs the fender. handles very well, tires stick like glue, and the suspension felt awesome. power was actually pretty damn good for down there, but again gearing is gonna come into play. right now i had no ground clearance issues, but the hard i push it i can see maybe scraping something. but we will see. i was getting faster and faster throughout the day. no idea of lap times really, so ill be interested to see what kind of laps it puts down the first race. i didn't feel as fast on it as i was my NSR, but that is because i don't have enough seat time yet. its close though.

the entirety of the patriot act... that's obviously a republican act... if it were a democrat act it would be the compassionate love for citizens and little children's safety act.

Hello all, I'm not sure what to say or where to start, but here goes. I work as an administrator for a K-8 school in Dayton. We found out today that one of our fifth graders lost his life over our spring break. I will not go into the details as to what happened out of respect for him and his family. This is my tenth year working in the schools and the first time I've lost a student. My heart is broken and I haven't a clue as what to do. He was such a sweet kid. He was always someone that brought a smile to your face. A quick story to understand Vincent. A few years ago there was a kid that was getting picked on while riding the bus. I talked to bunch of kids about it and Vincent was the one student that told me what has happening and told me he would do everything he could to help. He did. He sat next to the boy. He informed the bus driver what was happening. He would come to me every morning and tell me how the ride was that morning and about the ride home the night before. He was always helping others and volunteering to help however he could. I can't help but see his face and his smile. He was far too young to lose his life. All my thoughts and prayers have been for his family. If you have a moment please pray for him and his family, send kind thoughts or whatever please do. If you would like his family to see them please feel free to leave them here http://m.newcomerdayton.com/obituary.aspx?src=value&obitid=80900&fname=Vincent&lname=Cloud&city=Dayton&st=Ohio If you feel compelled to help offset his families medical bills and funeral costs please visit https://www.giveforward.com/fundraiser/1q94/vinnie-s-final-expenses Thank you and God bless all of you. Hold your children tight and love on them.

My name is Ben, I am from Marietta Ohio. Cars have been a part of my life ever since I was little, my dad has always been a car guy, from '64-'66 GTO's to the early 70's Nova's to mid 50's chevy trucks to big old derby cars, it's been in my blood. I am more into the odd ball cars, never really been interested in the cars that everybody else had. When I had the choice of my first car it was between a early 80's Capri (other kids had those and Mustangs) or a 1975 AMC Gremlin....I chose the cooler of the two... THE GREMLIN and that is where my addiction started! Through the years ('95-current) I have owned six Gremlins, one Hornet, a bunch of S10's, two hearses and a few other cars here and there. The car I built was a RARE 1970 AMC Gremlin with the one year only 199ci straight 6 in it and three on the tree. At first I looked into turboing the Gremlin and had everything lined up to do it but them I was told that I "COULDN'T" put a SBC in the Gremlin and that was the wrong thing to say to me. Nothing gets me more determined than to tell me I CAN'T do something, so it was on from there. I drove the car on it's last OEM powered voyage to a Road Devils car show up near Dublin Ohio and that night when I got home I ripped the motor and trans out of the car and started the transplant after MANY years of collecting parts. The motor was a 355 out of a truck my uncle had and I had a freshly rebuilt th350 with stall converter to go with it. The motor went in "ok" but the trans mount required some mods to the original cross member and it worked just fine. I had bought a nice set of headers for it but of course they hit the strut rod mounting brackets where they mounted to the frame so manifolds were required for the time being until I re thought how to work around them. I went with a Ford 8" rearend and bought a centersection off of e-bay. I got the car all running and was happy......for the time being. The car then blew the valve body in the trans so I bought a new Jegs trans and stall and all was well again....for the time being. Then I swapped motors, added headers, aluminum radiator, disc brakes,......the list went on and on....all new prothane bushings through the entire car....bought another Gremlin to start on and had plans of swapping everything to it. Everything was going awesome until I family problems came into play with the car and as much as I hated to I had to sell the car. I sold the car to a member here, hpfiend. We have stayed in touch and he keeps me updated on what's going on with the car and I try and answer questions he has as best I can. I wanted to join the site so I could follow his build progress with the car and to keep involved in the car world. My other hobbies include minibikes, some pedal cars and anything vintage. Since selling my car I have kind of stepped away from the car world and focused more on my family but with the addition of our son I hope to get back into the car scene and find another odd ball car to build with my kids when the timing is right. I current have a 93 S10 that is just a daily driver. I will be honest, I have no car or project or anything in the wind right now but I am ALWAYS looking for another Gremlin or waiting for hpfiend to swap cars and sell me my old 70 Gremlin roller back (Fingers crossed!) so I can build it just one more time with my kids involved. Here is a picture of the Gremlin when I finally had it completed right before I sold it. The best I even ran it was 13.25 ... I think....at 99MPH with a set of 2.79 open gears coming through the traps in 2nd gear wound tight. I had a 4.11 center section with a full aluminum spool but sold it before I ever got to put it in and make an all out pass with it. http://i811.photobucket.com/albums/zz36/AMCSBC/th_SU1HMDAyMjEuanBn.jpg If anybody wants to see more pictures of the car I can post plenty...LOL! Thanks for letting me join the site and hope to answer any questions I can and learn anything I can along the way!! Thanx, Ben Sorry for the long intro.

Here was a video of the car after it was all done the first time, this motor was a lot stronger than the one I swapped into it but the new motor was all fresh. Wish I had known that before I swapped them. LOL! I bought this car off of the 3rd owner who was only selling it for his family because they had moved away. His uncle bought it off of the original owners after her husband had passed away, the car only had like 67,000 original miles on it when I bought it in 99. I owned the car for 12 years and have a lot of memories that go with it. Here is a pic from before the headers, aluminum radiator and the wheels. The car looked mean but man are those Mopar police wheels HEAVY!!! http://i811.photobucket.com/albums/zz36/AMCSBC/IMG00038.jpg Some more build pics... http://i811.photobucket.com/albums/zz36/AMCSBC/th_ZmFuIGluc3RhbGxlZC5qcGc.jpg Fuel cell I had made a work, I drew up all the plans for it, installed the fittings and the filler cap and put the fuel cell foam in it. http://i811.photobucket.com/albums/zz36/AMCSBC/th_ZnVlbCBjZWxsIHdpdGggcmV0dXJuIGJ1bmc.jpg http://i811.photobucket.com/albums/zz36/AMCSBC/th_SU1HMDAxNjAuanBn.jpg Here is pics of the old strut rods and brackets (The end of the OEM strut rod was cut off and welded to the new one for the steering stop), the old mounting bracket on the frame was HUGE and was not going to allow any kind of headers or exhaust to fit on the car. http://i811.photobucket.com/albums/zz36/AMCSBC/th_IMG00035.jpg http://i811.photobucket.com/albums/zz36/AMCSBC/th_IMG00034.jpg New installed on the car http://i811.photobucket.com/albums/zz36/AMCSBC/th_IMG00033.jpg New frame brackets http://i811.photobucket.com/albums/zz36/AMCSBC/th_IMG00032.jpg Just a few of the build pics I have.

Apparently not, it wasn't a Duc.

He said he was going to reform the NSA and he has turned it into a free cloud based service for us. What a guy. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2014/04/01/nsa_plans_range_of_free_cloud_services_data_analytics/

that cat should be named marilyn

$75. Come pick this baby up, I have no use for it and its just taking space up in my garage!

the thought behind it is using all of the RPM band....if youre bike doesnt make enough hp to redline in 6th, then its wasted rpm....why do 150 max speed at 10krpm, when you can do the same 150 at 12k and have better acceleration everywhere else....essentially youre picking up acceleration, and not giving anything away up top because your bike wasnt using all of the rpm range anyways....i will be doing the same, my cb wont redline in 6th, i plan to change the gearing....if shes done at 150ish, id rather be at redline at that speed than below, if it means picking up some much unnecessary, yet quite fun, bottom end grunt

It all makes sense

Thats probably the only way the Repubs wouldnt block it. You know, they are determined to not let him do anything, even things that they claim to support.
