After seeing alot of the Busa riders at bike nights, I completely understand why she would say that.

That, and one look at your avatar pic....

No funny comment from me, peter puffer

I expected much better from you....

At least I have the wife going in to the store to get the rest of the ingredients for it....

an unarmored humvee? they are ALL armored, im 100% positive, i work for a company building them and suburbans

The OP can chime in on this one, as he was in Iraq a few years ago, and worked on said humvee's.

I still have my 86 Gt

86 is EFI, right?

How many here are gonna make some kind of funny comment when I say that I'm about to go make a cheesecake?

That's just wrong, funny but wrong.

No, I have a feeling that's about how it happened, and HILARIOUS also! I almost a that one!

I stole this from this site. The "matte" black looks awesome in the first car.

My step brother used ot be a regular on that site. He's probably not anymore, since he sold his eclipse....

Oh Gawd here we go........

Jporter "Im fast, I ride better than you, Johnstown roads are the shizzy"

Nothing even close to that was inferred.... Johnstown roads are straight, for the most part. And I don't think I'm even CLOSE to being fast on the bike.

+ 100 to you.

It sounds like you speak from experience? But if it gets cleared, will that ruin the matte finish?

Attackpainter (I think) was talking in another thread (if I find it I'll edit this post) about the matte finish paints on some of the newer bikes being a clearcoat with a "flettening agent" in it. We'll have to see if Chad can get that for the stuff we use....

how long did it take to come up with that? Good one.

I'm just quick like that (sometimes)

But you said you would give me a taint rub

I did? Hmm.... I must've forgotten. I think you bringing some sheep was in the deal, and you say you aren't bringning them, so sorry....

Damnit, can a mod add Hookers and blow for Likwid?

Coulda had pink-ish with white stripes for that!

I'll be getting there just before noon

Sounds like a good time to get out of there!

No hookers and blow option means no valid poll

Shit! I forgot to say that in my reply.....

got hemi?

Actually, yes I do! They don't CALL my engine a Hemi, but it has hemispherical combustion chambers, which is where the Hemi got it's name. Pretty much all the 4(+) valve per cylinder heads are hemi's.

Serious vote now.... Gloss black, but it has to be the black the guys just put on that harley for Mike.

You also need to do flush mount turn signals, and SOMETHING with those bubbles....I mean mirrors....

I vote for red, but only if the VFR goes with it! LOL What can I say, I like the Hon-duh V4's!

Hes still better than Ryan Seacrest.

Not that it takes much... I didn't watch it this year.

Looks like they have a version of it going on the lunar rover:

It says something about Michelin make the shuttle tires, and having a 20 year relationship with Nasa, or something like that.

Michelin has had something like that in the works for several years now, called the Tweel. They origianlly showed it on cars, but what I'm finding on their site now is geared for the construction industry.

Also, do a google search for tweel, and chaeck out some of the pics.

True that the ad indicated the frame was not for sale, but the rest of the parts from a possibly stolen bike are.

From what I've seen in my short time (less than a year) of working on mine and friends bikes, few of the parts other than the frame have the VIN on them. Maybe this is different on newer bikes? The engines have a serial number on them, but it's not the same as the VIN again, maybe different on newer bikes.

Someone that's stealing and chopping up bikes is not someone I'm going to go question.

Granted the guy is probably pretty dumb since he posted it on CL, but I'm not going to his house.

Your nutz are

It's not the same... I don't think they'll make anything that will live up to the legacy of the old 302. The 5.0 displacement means nothing, other than some creative marketing. If it did, they would have built the 4.6 out to a 5.0 a long time ago. Same for the good old 5.7 or 350 from chevy. Notice that they didn't bother to try to match the displacement? They DID manage to exceed the power levels, AND keep the low end torque that Ford seemed to lose with the newer engines of the same era.

/rant

I like the copper, except for one issue..... That's JRMiii's color....

they cant be 1/2 as bad as the ones i start... come on now

They're not even 1/2 as entertaining as the ones that you've started though.....

Apparently 'married' is another loose term.

That could be taken a few very different ways....

Unless they fall short in a certain area. Like the engine department....and i heard, or read some where this one's only running a 6.

It sure LOOKS the part though! Which I'm betting is what the primary intention was for it, marketing.

I'd have a large displacement small block in there, with EFI!!!!
