  1. Things like the BBB exist for worthless people who feel that they are intitled to shit for free. I take all this type shit with a grain of salt, forums, self rightous organizations, and most people. People are biased one way or another for various reasons and I don't really listen to anyone who doesn't give me some good facts to back up their claims. Of course people try to confuse facts with fiction too, so yeah, a grain of salt.
  2. I've been where you are, I'm much happier not dealing with customers turning a wrench. I'm sure it will be a good choice for you.
  3. I can attest to this being in showroom condition, anyone who's seen Doc's other cars should know that this one is cared for in the same way. GLWS.
  4. Drive by wire works fine, its reliable. The biggest problem I've seen GM customers have is that they don't take care of their cars and see what the check engine light is on for. The throttle body and throttle pedal each have 2 sensors in them, so when one fucks up you can still drive the car, however some dumbasses let it go until the other one goes out and the car doesn't move. I find this pretty funny and I've seen it a few times. Personally I'd rather have the control over the throttle body with a cable, there are lots of reasons the computer would close the blade and you have no control. Even when you tune it, it doesn't make it act like a cable. I don't like it in performance applications. It isn't as easy to modulate the throttle, and no matter what anybody says its still slower, some worse then others. DBW wouldn't be a deal breaker for me, but I don't really care for it.
  5. I would see Rocky, he's def much more familiar then me.
  6. I think most Toyotas after 1998 had transponder keys, honestly not sure. Looked up antitheft on alldata, and it seems that is the case. You can try a locksmith, but the dealership is likely your best bet. In GM's case these type keys are around $40-50 and need to be programmed, not sure on the Toyotas.
  7. Are we talking about the same thing? I was refering to Jason's house. Most houses came with 150amp in the 90s, a lot more get 200amp services now. Before that its kind of a crap shoot, IMHO 100 amp is too small anymore since there is so much electrical stuff anymore and it just keeps getting worse.

    11111?

    It's death to all SRTs day, you got out just in time.
  9. This would be a possible issue if you were getting it inspected, or if you had a small service, but since it won't be running all the time and I know the houses in your neighborhood aren't old enough to have a little shitbox service I think this is a little overkill. Just make sure it gets on the right size breaker.
  10. Picking up the ball, since some of us have decided we are not done.
  11. Some of us have decided that since its going to be a decent saturday morning that we are going to Cup O Joe at the Lennox for a last last C&C. I know a few have posted in the other thread, so I'm starting this one to make it simpler. Saturday 11-5-11 at 8AM Be there.
  12. This. I just hooked one up for my Dad, most of those are direct wire. You'll just need to know whether its a 20 or 30 amp unit. 20 amp should be on a cicuit run with 12 gauge wire, 30 amp on 10 gauge. So long as there is space in the panel you'd likely need to run a line to it.
  13. I customize the top of my lap with a fine bitch.
  14. Some do, usually the kids tend to go to neighborhoods. My complex has a lot of kids so they did it friday on their own, tonight my daughter is going to trick or treat with her friend in her neighborhood. So to answer your question, yes but not really.
  15. Man I don't know what to say. I remember being at your house and he was full of energy. I can only imagine how bad this sucks.
  16. I always thought this way, but you'll notice it's always on a school night. As a parent this works out just fine for me, she gets done and gets ready for bed.
  17. I was at Marion friday night, didn't you see the video?
  18. I think I have a pair of axles in the garage if you need them.
  19. I would think that the hard part failures may have been a bad batch of parts in the Camaro. Although just when I think they've sorted out something, it has another issue. They've been screwing with the 3.6VVT for a few years in different chassis and it just doean't impress me at all. Of course I'm a little jaded only seeing broken ones.
  20. You didn't miss much, the engine is pretty close to coming out, so we gave up and pulled the head off. It looks as though the engine had sucked in some debis as there are some small points of damage. It will need pistons for sure, and some minor repair to the head assuming we could see the worst of it.
