Hey all- What would you guys recommend in the sub 6K price range? Doesn't necessarily have to be four wheel drive or all wheel drive but if front wheel drive definitely needs good ground clearance. Leaning towards suv's and wagons for the extra room to haul. My 1999 v6 4x4 explorer was great for me which I bought in 08 with 113K and just sold with 163K. Not too crazy about the reliability ratings on the next generation explorer and the 06-10 are too expensive for this vehicle. Expeditions are looking good but it seems like they have transmission issues in certain years. Thanks!

As far as repair- I would call kevin on here from clifford automotive- he fixed my wife's car very nicely and very reasonably. As far as a cause I think a female is involved- Are you in a fraternity? Recent ex or a new gf with a jealous ex? Good luck!

sorry I misquoted... I am talking about the old monte carlo that was off 161 and the new one that people are saying that they are going to. Are they under different ownership?

Obviously not the same monte carlos restaurant then?

I have had lots of interest matching the $500.00 CarMAX offer- to be fair I put it on ebay with a $563.00 starting price. 63.00 fees to list it. It has one bid already so it will sell at this price at least. Here is the link... http://bit.ly/GX13Lb Item #231072526214 Thanks for the interest!

If you aren't cruising on the beach or nearby at under 35 mph, or on a military base, the jeep wrangler is grossly overrated.

Alright- carmax will give me 500.00 for it and we all know they are cheap- Can anyone do any better? I am looking into fees to putting it on ebay with a 500.00 start price.

I'd buy that 854,000 Porsche 917 coming out

Taking it to carmax tomorrow AM.

That's weak for six years of development- my dad's 08 ls3 automatic bone stock c6 on factory street tires went 12.6 at high 114s the only time he took it to the track and it was hot as hades. Good weather and he could almost hit that. 12.2s on the other hand is a little better and could not be achieved without mods in any weather in his car...

Please do! What did it run?

What is your cable bill, Columbus Racing?

Anyone know this guy? Details of the build? Thanks! Andrew

Do you have a wideband setup on it? I can't remember which way it goes but a misfire will show up differently than when combustion is correct. My instinct says rich because of the unburnt fuel but some reason I think it is supposed to be lean.

What is this secured bond option?

Thanks for sharing! You got some great ones! Who has the gremlin? We need to talk...

Who's cable bill is more than 236.42? I tried to sign up and couldn't get past login this AM- what time did you guys do it?

Built a shift knob with a button in it for the line lock as I didn't want to pay 80.00 for a plastic ball with a hurst logo.. http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj162/hpfiend/image_zps71c64659.jpg The previous owner had for whatever reason installed the front brake lines on the rear reservoir and vice versa on the master cylinder which is why the line lock would not work. We unfortunately discovered this after purchasing a second line lock. The Innovate LM-2 was fine as well- the problem was the gremlin cigarette lighter had a bad ground that would allow it to power up but not warm the o2 sensor. I mixed up the idle air bleeds with the high speed and apparently put 28s in place of 75s at high speed vs idle on the hp carb- oops! Put the 700 double pumper on it with brand new accelerator pumps and factory settings as far as shooters/jets/etc... I adjusted the valves with the engine running and it still won't idle for @#%. Put a vac. gauge on it and it was 9-15 fluctuating indicating it was down on cylinder(s). Pulled plugs off at the dizzy and after several extreme electrocutions (my shoulder and back were sore for hours), I managed to find one if not 3 dead cylinders. Ran a compression check and indeed 3 has zero compression. Wires may be bad on the other cylinders or for some other reason they didn't make that big a difference in idle when I unplugged them. After several rounds of EOIC,TDC on that cylinder, and TDC on 1 and 6 valve adjustments I still cant get compression on 3 with anything beyond zero valve lash which works just fine. Bad lifter is the current diagnosis and once time is available I plan to tear it down and swap it out. The good news is it smoked a 3 valve mustang GT, a new SS camaro, and almost beat a 6.0 GTO with mods on at best 7 cylinders and an extremely rich mixture.

TTT Blue book is twice the current asking price for an awesome 4x4 winter vehicle that I am driving daily!

ok I ordered vmware fusion 4 and a minidisplay port to hdmi adaptor for the mac- thanks guys! Now about that revolution rigs steering wheel/pedal mount???

Thanks guys! I need to read about this dual boot mode mac

Whoah ! Now we are talking..... What? I don't think I have HDMI it is a 2011 15" MacBook pro - can I use a USB steering wheel for a PC also on it?

My tv does not have a VGA input but surprisingly it does have a PC dvi input (looks like a headphone jack) and an analog audio RCA next to it- do I need a special video card for dvi output? I only have a Mac laptop currently- I am going to get an old xp machine for the sole purpose of running this game- Thanks!

I have a Rptv with HDMI!! Dunno about VGA - I will look
