  1. I think those of us that went through SWCS have a different view. I'm not out to ruin a kids chances here, I'm just pissed at the system behind it. I played baseball in high school and if I hadn't hurt my knee probably could have gotten some money to play in college, so I get that. I just hate that these bastards use the kids to get what they want. I've already heard that the district is going to reinstate some of the bussing before the money comes in. How are they paying for that? Maybe someone loaned them some money.
  2. Only thing I was referring to fund raising was for the kids who couldn't afford the pay to play. That money isn't hard to gather. It might actually make some of these lazy ass kids get off of their asses and out from behind the damn video game console and actually do something to earn their "money". I'm still not going to read that website by the SWCS and take it as gospel. They have done enough in the past to make me think twice about what is put out by them.
  3. Damn it. I would be in if it wasn't for the whole wife being ready to pop within the next few weeks. You guys enjoy.
  4. Supposed to be nice, so driving it there isn't out of the question. I'd still rather have something to tow with in case something happens.
  5. When I was younger the district "needed money so badly that there would be huge cuts if the levy didn't pass". Levy passes and an administrator magically finds $500,000 in a closet. Weird. When I was a senior in high school the dicks used us by going to split sessions, saying that without more money to build more buildings we would have to continue with this b.s. Levy passes and magically split sessions ends without any additional buildings at the time. Enrollment was still the same. The districts bullshit tactics are ridiculous. Tell the damn truth and people will be more willing to pay higher taxes. Also, remember what schools are a part of SWCS. A lot of these people are lower income and truly can't afford this. How about all of the people in the district who don't own property and won't have to pay an extra dime, but have kids in the system? Why not let them pay some more too? The fact that these asswipes used the kids again to tug at the heart strings of everyone is bullshit. They could have let fall sports happen with pay to play, but didn't because then their precious bullshit levy would have failed. This is why I HATE this district and would never wish it's backwards ass ways on anyones offspring.
  6. If you didn't grow up in the district and see all of the bullshit that the administrators pulled to get more money for their raises and other mispending, then you guys can feel however you want. The reason people vote against it, is that the district has USED the kids as their means of getting more money for a district that can't seem to spend money wisely. I don't feel the need to give too many examples here, but just know that those of us who have seen the repeated stupid decisions out of this district aren't ready to fork over more money to people who don't have a damn clue. Kids could have played sports with pay to play, even the lower income family kids. They have fund raisers for a reason.
  7. Here's a thought....Don't daily drive your Z06. How bad is it?
  8. Not too bad then. I was thinking spring time.
  9. Any ideas on when it will be done? I'm sure I'll see it around at some point once it is done.
  10. I put a spec 3 in when I had the tranny built earlier this year. Drove it like an old woman for 500 miles and have been beating on it since. I've heard good and bad on these clutches. So far, mine has done fine. Just had to get used to slipping it out a little higher to not get the clutch chatter. I'll wait and see if it lasts through next year before I make any real judgements on it though.
  11. How about you replace both of my knees for free then.....For the rest of my life:) Thanks.
  12. Add a little shot to get it out of the hole
  13. Last set was what $5? I'd say closer to $10. Just to see how they compare. I liked the $5's, but wouldn't mind checking out some slightly higher quality smokes.
  14. How did you know? That Jeff guy is always trying to show off! Damn him. By the way, I'd take the ZR1. You can keep those heavy ass Camaros.
  15. Rumor has it that was a 1.7x 60' too.
  16. Not to be too much of a pain here, but what were the stickers on those GT's? If they were say $4,000-6,000, then it's really not that much different on a % basis. Still way overpriced.
  17. I'd like to see some more of the tax free cigars, but maybe some of the higher end ones
  18. I almost spit my food on the monitor. That is a large sandwich. I think I would have been laughing too hard to walk after that one.
  19. I just wanted to see a few clean passes. I guess the bottom end thought otherwise.
  20. Wish I had a "bad" day and ran 10.40's Just have to spend another day on the weekend putting the other gasket on, so you can make the track day.
  21. Is the Cobra hurt after the run today? Hopefully it isn't too bad. If it is, time to build a good shortblock and see what happens when the boost gets cranked up
  22. I've heard nothing but good things about the port work that TEA does.
  23. I'm assuming that you were the orange SS with Illinois plates. Car definitely ran well, just didn't hook at all. Did you break the 10-bolt on the run against the grey Cobra?
