  1. Oh, I almost forgot... Learn the english language. If you really are in college, you're not going to make it far with your skillz. Learn some grammar, spelling, and punctuation, dumbass fucktard.....
  2. Quoted for truth! I've seen it here! He can also take ANYTHING you can dish out to him, because he's not as wrapped up in what other people think of him as you seem to be. Get over yourself, learn to listen to advice, even if you intend to not follow it, and learn to fight back with more than, "I own more than you", or "I'm better than you", or "I can ride perfect wheelies after 2 days". Really man, if you want to make it in life, grow some skin, and quit being so concerned about what everyone else thinks about you! Worry about doing the right thing, and what you like to do, and keep it within the line of sanity, and legality.
  3. Except he wouldn't just check her out!
  4. We're out in the Johnstown area, just east of town. It's called Countryside Auto. We do everything, even body work. Honda products are sort of a specialty, although we work on pretty much ANYTHING, from classic restorations, to engine swaps, turbo conversions, and on and on. There hasn't been much that we've turned away! Hit me a PM about what you need, and I can give you some ideas of what we can do for you!

  5. Could use some help. Can't afford classes right now. Will keep it in mind though. What location of Cord do you teach out of?
  6. Nah, you go to McDonalds and you're going to get anything but what you ordered, no matter what!!! It's Ronald's way! While you're at it, order the "add to my spare tire meal" (just saw a Subway commercial...)
  7. That might be true of older Ford engines, unless they're completely overhauled, but I've put head gaskets on some of the newer ones (not that many, gasket technology has greatly improved) and they've run just as good, if not better as original. These days, you'd likely have close to that amount in parts and machine work! A valve job on a V-8 is roughly $225 (or more) to the machine shop. I believe on this application, you'd have around $200 - 300 (minimum, if you get a good price from the parts supplier) in parts alone just for the head gasket job. It's an expensive head set, then you need plugs (platinums is advised) Thermostat, coolant, oil and filter. You CAN get by with JUST the actual head gaskets, but they're over $100 for the pair! Auto repair is become a bit more difficult, but even moreso, EXPENSIVE. Since I've been working in a shop for the past (nearly) 10 years, the average ticket has gone up significantly. Labor rates have gone up, parts have gone up, overhead has gone up, difficulty of the jobs has gone up..... Fortunately for the customers, it seems the shop I work for is lagging behind a bit on price increases, due in part to lower overhead, and to be competitive. We are off the beaten path, so most of our business comes from referals, therefore, we HAVE to be on top of our game, and do a good job. /rant
  8. Ok, TARD!!! I got it! I think I clearly pointed out my error in the first post... So just HOW far can you go on reserve?
  9. We're not going to be too far from that! I'll be 53 when Eric turns 18! Did that when I was about 14 or 15. Got caught at a VERY inopportune time..... My dad was ready to kill me (Literally, I think!) We were actually thinking we wanted a girl, since my wife already has 2 boys, amongst other reasons, but I wouldn't trade the little dud for ANY girl out there! Uh oh!!!
  10. Is it redi-whip, or the hydrogenated oil laden cool whip?
  11. I'm trying not to decide what I think of him until he's had at least a year in office, but he's making that difficult, seeing the lack of GOOD change.....
  12. I really didn't hink I'd find any people rooting for him on here!
  13. I smell a true story here..... Congrats! My son being born almost 9 months ago has been the biggest, and best life changing experience imaginable! He and I get to spend the day together today, and the little dude HAD to get up early! He's sitting here playing, and having a blast! Can't wait til he's old enough to take on the bike!
  14. Both chicken and steak? Almost time for some of moose's meat!
  15. What a tool. Richard Heene, the father of the boy in the balloon fiasco plead guilty. DUH!!! http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20091113/ap_on_re_us/us_balloon_boy I think he should go into politics, as he seems to have a popularity fetish.... And I need spell chack!
  16. United Nations Nothing but crap.....
  17. Well, there ARE a few more nice days to ride ya know! I would ride up there myself tomorrow (not to antagonize, just for a ride) but the wife works, so I babysit.....
  18. I think this describes why I still like the Ninja250. I ran the piss out of it tonight (as I do most every time I get on it) for a couple quick trips into town. Compared to the Interceptor 500, it IS slow (duh) but the brakes are much better, then you have the suspension dive on the 250, when hitting the brakes..... No bike is perfect, I suppose, but with some work, I think the 500 is gonna be pretty solid for me...
  19. I just wonder what that old guy in Apple Valley would say to that? Nobody ever got a group to go back there and antagonize, did they?
  20. So am I! I hated homework, andonly did enough of it to get by. If we had this option, I could've skipped the homework all together!
