    Attention

    Great, now I gotta go get the screen-cleaner wipes....
  2. I don't remember you running that day. IIRC, that was the day you had that leak, and had something go weird in the plumbing somewhere? We were in with the black Bonneville and the white GPGT.
  3. Kil-Kare/NTR=night/day. Whole different animal. And Hal solved some of his issues after you left.
  4. Actually, he drives like my Grandmother, looks like a wookiee, and wears polo shirts. But he keeps that Grandma car cleaner than my kitchen plates, and obsesses over the imperfect paint...
  5. BTW, Erock, the guy in the video? I used to listen to that show religiously, and he ended up having some respiratory problems that afternoon, went to the hospital. He had problems for about a week afterward, too. According to him, the doc said he's damn lucky he didn't get inhalation pneumonia from that shit... And that dude ain't exactly a pussy...some of the shit they've done to him on that show would have snet most of us sensible people straight to the ER...
  6. I think I might actually come out for this one. I haven't been out for a long time, and QS&L is calling my name... Time?
  7. Love seein the mid-80s/early-90s MOPARs! I'm rebuilding the motor for my 92 3.0L Shadow right now, damn thing dropped a lash adjuster and puked the coolant... Of course, the clutch has 250,000+ miles on it and no detectable slip, and the motor has never been open at all...tough little car...
  8. Purely a matter of supply. Gun makers haven't been allowed to sell full auto to civilians for years, outside of a vanishing few who obtain extraordinarily expensive permits. On the other hand, police still confiscate plenty of full-auto weapons every year, most of them smuggled into the country. Again, the law hasn't stopped the criminals, has it? Made it harder, I admit, but they're still out there. Here's a challenge for you, go to the range and observe some behavior for a while. Cause what I notice is that the people that have CCW permits are generally the most safety-conscious people at the range.
  9. You know, the only thing I should have to say, and the one argument that every single anti-gun whacko completely chooses to ignore, even though it is an ABSOLUTE truth is; Laws only apply to those who choose to obey them, and those who are CAUGHT breaking them.
  10. Hear, hear! More simply, people suck, anticipate it...
  11. Yep. Wanna start a pool on how long it takes the local news to claim they set up the race here?
  12. Then it's doubly tragic how many times more people die in car accidents every year than by GSW. That's including accidental and intentional shootings, BTW...
  13. Actually, the rules for drawing and using a CCW carry weapon are laid out fairly well under ORC. They are actually a lot tighter than the rules are for a police officer under the same circumstances. Before you are allowed to draw your weapon, you have to be in eminent danger of your life. This generally means the other guy has a gun or knife. A fistfight is not considered to fit this except for a few exceptions(i.e., the aggressor is fucking huge, or tries to liberate the carry weapon from the holder). You are also allowed to draw if you believe that another person's life is threatened, but the restrictions are a little tighter there. And again, you CANNOT draw your weapon as an aggressor, OR in support of an aggressor. And the situation you describe with an arriving police officer is ALSO covered in training for CCW. And the first thing they tell you to do under those circumstances is to OBEY THE OFFICER ABSOLUTELY. I don't have a CCW, so I can't give you details on the training. But I am somewaht familiar with the basics. The only reason that I haven't bothered is that I'm an OTR truckdriver by trade, which means that 90% of my waking hours, I'm not allowed to carry anyway. You can't carry in a CDL vehicle, concealed or open. I think there are a couple states where some exceptions are made for high-security jobs, but in Ohio, not even armored-car drivers who can open carry are allowed to carry concealed.
  14. And BTW, I know far more MEN who engage in this kind of back-stabbing than I do women.
  15. Actually, I kind of expected this kid to do well after reading his intro thread, but his subsequent posts have convinced me that I was very wrong. I'm disappointed, and don't wish to waste my time any further, so I "Ignored" him. Problem solved.
  16. Just for a basic idea of what that, plus some back-up mods like plugs, stat, and injectors can do, here's Scott Cooks dyno chart... Run 001 is stock on 93 Run 009 is "after" on 93 http://www.intense-racing.com/pics/dynos/Scott_Cook_Dyno_G8_544_640.jpg
  17. OK, here's how this plays out. If he not upset, it's not his girlfriend, and we flame him for being a lying douche. If he is upset, we all flame him into a small pile of ashes for being a dumbass... Nice car, bad judgment... -rep.
  18. Boy, would I love to hear what he actually did, so I could laugh at him HONESTLY.
  19. Subtle? Fuck subtle.... http://intense-racing.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=IR&Product_Code=APS-G8TTK&Category_Code=G8_Induction +rep for good choice in cars, and for not making a sucky intro.
  20. Regarding FUBAR's little "Does this mean I win?" comment in the oven thread for ToxicTiger; Dude, I HATE complimenting Hal, but the reason you don't win, is because there's no game. You aren't even in the same league. And if you think this means WE are going to e-battle, well, tough shit. I've been on here for about four years, and you just became the first person ever on my ignore list. The opinions of a child are of no interest to me.
  21. Toxic, one of the requirements of the oven isthat you post pics of your car, even if it's a rotting pile of rust, rot, and squirrel nests. If you tell us it's a POS, and the pictures match, we don't make fun of you for it being a POS. If you humbly inform us of mods and track times, with paperwork to match, and we think the car is nice, we'll nutswing(or leghump) on the car for pages. If, on the other hand, some thinks they're God's Gift, and they drive a pimered Civic with a fart-pipe, we generally rip em a new soft-serve nozzle. So, post up, so we can judge and give rep accordingly.
  22. Wait, whoa...Did someone get on Hal's login? I mean, he posted without telling someone to kill themself...WTF? I'm feeling a little disoriented, I think I'm going to go lie down...
  23. The guy's a fucking douchebag. BTW, I went to neg rep the fucker, but accidentally hit the enter key before selecting "I disapprove". Could a helpful Admin please fix my little screwup? I really, really, REALLY disapprove...
  24. What the fuck is this, Hypothetical Bullshit Day? Chew on this; in the State of Ohio, since the CCW permit laws were passed, there has not been ONE unjustified shooting by a CCW permit holder. NOT ONE.
  25. You taking the visors out? Not much point having them in, by the looks of where you front roof bar goes across... Like the cage, and that looks like a sweet turbo set-up.
