  1. As in the thing you put dead people in?

     

    :) No. As in 1968 Olds Hurst, named after George Hurst who invented the Hurst shifter. It was the first year for the Hurst Olds as well as the rarest and fastest.

  2. I think in the long run it could be detrimental to the economy to let that many uneducated people flood the work force. If all 11 million are allowed to stay and bring over their families it would put a huge strain on social programs as well as larger tax increases to pay for these people. The jobs that they'll be working won't add a lot in terms of consumer spending due to the fact that they'll be making just enough to get by. Legal immigrants entering the country will be faced with very low paying jobs due to the large uneducated work force that would already be here. Wages for menial jobs would never increase due to the glut of workers. There's also of course the human factor. No matter how bad some of these people had it in Mexico after a few years of living here they'll start to forget about how bad they had it and start questioning why the Jones's down the street have a new car and new house and they don't. That can lead to a malcontent lower class as well as higher crime rates. I'm all for legal immigration, it is after all how we all got here. I just don't agree with allowing a large group of people to illegally cross our borders and be rewarded for it. It puts others trying to gain legal status at a very big disadvantage. Try to explain to some poor bastard in a war torn country trying for legal status how bad people from Mexico have it and he'll probably pull out the rusty machete used to kill his family and use it on you.
  3. Nice color choice. Get some DR's for it before you go to the track, getting these cars out of the hole can be very tricky on stock rubber. It'll cost you a lot of ET and MPH when your forced to short shift first and second gear due to wheel hop. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions. You can take advantage of the hundreds of hours that I've logged on the internet researching the 03 Cobra. Those hours should have been devoted to porn search. Good luck with the car.
  4. This is a rather odd request. I don't know who in their right mind would lend their truck out to a complete stranger to tow something to a different state. People seem to have a different mindset about trucks even though they tend to cost more than your average car.
  5. Uhhh...when you already have a 400HP model called the CTS-V. Funny, I don't see a 4 door Z06...so how about you stfu. And no I don't feel that way about the Corvette, it's a completely different type of car.

     

    Well there's rumor of GM building a faster Z06, would you be against that as well? The point is why not build a faster car to compete with new faster cars coming from the Germans. The demographic that GM is targeting wants these cars, trust me. I'm in it. You refer to this car as a "mid life crisis car", well your young and don't know any better. Get back with me in 15 years when you have a wife and kids and the wife finds any car with two seats too impractical to own. You'll look at that car in a totally different way. Oh and btw sorry for the STFU comment, I was a little surly late last night.

  6. I cry at this thread just the same, kinda like when I watch the end of Armegeddon :(

     

    That movie chokes me up at the end as well. Not as bad as Old Yeller but it does make me a little misty eyed.

  7. K&N filters like to oil up the MAss air flow sensors and paper filters are good in our cars. Amazingly the stock airbox with a stock turbo on an STI flows really well. Basically an intake is not needed untill you go to a bigger turbo then I would see a gain. I was advised by the tuner to leave the stck airbox and filter in the car.

     

    Gotcha. I've never had a problem with a K&N oiling up my MAF but have heard of others having some issues.
