I don't see how that's possible. The only way OSU will play USC for the national title (I think it's pretty safe to say USC will be defending their title, unless something crazy happens) is if Texas and VT lose a game this year and some how OSU gets ranked in front of them. Or they lose two games. I'm not saying it can't happen, it just doesn't seem very possible. However, OSU should win the rest of their games this season. But regardless of UM's record at the time, that game will still be tough...

This sucks. I kinda liked 105.7 The Fox. I usually listen to 99.7 or 96.3, but 105.7 was my #3 station. Just listening to what they had on that website, it sounds like classic rock, but softer. I heard Bon Jovi and got pissed...

Grocery store. AKA "Pubix"...

Yeah, I guess this is the reason some websites are down. COFBA's new host is out there, as is mine...

3.73's. Is your Mustang for sale? My brother's looking for a nice Fox Body...

I forgot to tell this little story. I was just leaving Norwalk Friday, heading south on that little highway you take to get to Route 250. I was in the right lane, but was being passed by an Explorer who was going at least 5 - 10 MPH faster than me. All of a sudden, he hits the brakes and then I see the State Trooper in the turn around. We pass her (yes, her ) and I see that she has her reverse lights on. She pulls out and gets in the lane with the Explorer. "Good", I thought. Then the Explorer moves over behind me and she does the same. "Even Better", I thought. The first exit to 250 is mine, so I get over into it and sure enough, she pulls over as well and flips the lights on. Now I'm pissed. I know that Explorer was going faster than me, but whatever. She pulls me over and tells me I was speeding, going 69 in a 55. Now since I put my tranny back in with the speedo gear for the 3.73's, I've known my speedo is off. I was doing around 64 when I saw the cop, but according to her, it was really 69. No biggie, now I know how off it really is. She said that I was passing the Explorer, to which I responded that the only reason I was passing him, is because he slowed way down when he saw you. He passed me going at least 5 - 10 MPH faster than I was before he saw you. I told her I wasn't trying to argue with her, just letting her know what happened. I give her my military ID, license, registration, insurance, etc.. She said that she was going to cite me and went back to the car. I was a bit upset, especially since I wasn't the faster car out there, but whatever. I'll pay the fine and move on with life. So she gets back out of her car and starts walking up to my car again. Then I see her stop behind the car, bend down, and look at my rear tires. Now, anyone who was at Norwalk who looked at my Mustang knows that I drove up there on my $50 special bald ass Nittos. I mean BALD. No tread at all. I didn't feel like changing tires out at the track, with me trying to run the event and all, not to mention the weather was going to be perfect, no rain. So she asks what's up with my tires. I told her that we had just rented the track here and those are the tires I use at the track. She said "Well, there is no tread. That is illegal." I told her I understand, I just didn't want to change tires out when I got there. So she said now she has to cite me for that as well and heads back to her car. Now I start thinking that she probably has enough right now to impound the car, with those bald tires. My wife's gonna be pissed if I have to have her drive up here with my other tires! But I don't see her getting on the radio and finally she comes back to my car and says "Look, I'm gonna let you off with two warnings. I didn't get that other truck's speed and pull him over as well, so I don't want to cite you for speeding. As far as the tires go, you can get pulled over again between here and Delaware and get ticketed. Just don't do the tire thing again." I promised her I wouldn't and thanked her for her leniency. Yes, my respectful attitude and perhaps my military ID get me out of yet another ticket...

I had neither a "Sam" or an "Andrew" show up today, so I'm going with the latter. COFBA ate enough of the cost today that we'll probably only have one track day next year. If we can't get at least 40 - 60 people to come and offset the price, it costs us money and that's no fun...

Pretty light turnout today (27 cars), but still a good time. Thanks to all who showed up. :thumbup: My '86 Mustang GT with gears, pullies, exhaust and Nittos ran many consistant 14.2's @ 94/95 MPH. Nothing crazy, but not bad for a 20 year old nearly stock car. Let's see the rest of those times for those who went...

Sorry, the rims/tires I got are the ones I was supposed to get back in May. So I don't need anything now. Sorry...

I was up at Hooters tonight with the '86 for a bit. No burnouts...

Sorry guys, I ended up getting a hold of Mike and got the rims I was supposed to buy from him...

Hatchback or coupe?

USAA here as well (I'm an AF veteran). I've actually had other insurance companies tell me that almost no one can beat their rates. I pay less than $130 a month for 4 cars (2000 Navigator, 1997 Mountaineer, 1986 Mustang GT, 1989 Colt)...

Very interested, let me just get a set of wheels...

How much you want for those?

It sucks, but fortunately, it's gonna have to get a lot more expensive before it effects what kinds of cars I drive. I'm not strapped for cash, so I'll still drive the V8's. However, for a daily crappy weather beater, the Colt gets 36 - 42 MPG, so I can't complain there...

He's on this board, although rarely. Either him or his brother Dan. A phone number for either is fine. Mike was supposed to sell me a set of rims and DR's for my Mustang a few months ago and I'd really like to contact him to see if he still has them, as Norwalk is next Friday. Anyone have a phone number for either of these guys?

I'm really looking to get set of DR's for the Mustang for Norwalk next Friday. Either 2 rims and DR's or just the DR's, as I can get a set of rims cheap elsewhere. I was supposed to buy a set from Mike Niehaus, but I have no way of contacting him. Reply here or e-mail me at wease7@msn.com...

But dealerships don't normally buy a car for a price above Private Party Value. They give you Trade In Value. He never even haggled with me. Said the price was fine and bought it. I really don't care, I got my money out of it. I will just be very surprised if they make any money on it...

Well, GM owned it for the first 8K miles, so technically I was the first owner...

Exactly. More power to him if he can pull it off. That car needed nothing, it was perfect...

Wow. They just picked it up at my house Monday afternoon, tonight it's in Houston and on Ebay. I tried for months to sell that car for $16K and then slowly down to its selling price of $14,500. No takers. And I had the added benefit of advertising on a few enthusiasts sites, such as this one. I can't believe this guy thinks he can make more than $15K off of it, considering it probably cost at least $500 to ship it down there...

LOL, you'd better delete some posts in this thread or you're gonna be busy for a while...
