Was his name Chuck by chance? There's a guy that comes by CC&C that has an amazing, black GT500 with I want to say a 4.3L blower. It's a monster of a car...

I think the curved edges are kinda gimmicky, but that is a cool-looking phone...

...did someone say HOFBRAUHAUS??!?!? Close enough.:fuckyeah:

John Ross Roofing 614-876-6314 I've done a couple of repairs and their cash price can't be beat, and workmanship is great. Also, over last summer I had to re-roof one of my rental houses and they quoted removal of 3 layers of shingle and plywood replacement on a 1953 house for over $1000 less than my prop. management company's guy...AND they included my 1.5car garage!!! They got work done over 4th of July weekend: gave them the go-ahead and deposit, materials were dropped off within a few days and the work was completed within a week. I think Akula referred them to me years ago...definitely my go-to.

Andy, could the binding be because the suspension is at full droop when it's jacked up? I'd venture that at ride height the line probably isn't engineered to be that tight...

Whew! This thread hurts to read. I've got a brainache now. Gonna go lie down. Kerry, does CR collectively owe you $700 for the billable time you've invested in deciphering this video?

If you go on 315, the zipper rule is generally in effect. As much as one could ask from the U.S. Good point though, Tom... There is no joy in the 270/670 curve. Eastonistas are clogging up 670 W. By the time you gain speed it's all over. Better off faking the exit to Cassady/Stelzer and bomb back in at the last minute. THERE I GO, I'M ONE OF "THEM" NOW...:no::no::no:

Switch off of Cricket or whatever Boost Mobile Obamaphone you're using?

This morning, I drove from downtown east on 670, down 270, off on E. Broad to drop off tax info for my CPA. Went back downtown the same way... Srs question: We live in Columbus, Ohio...not Chicago, not NYC, not LA, not DC...how do you NOT gouge your eyes out, cause a self-inflicted gunshot wound, or stain the cloth seats of your low-end SUV with the blood from your slit wrists as you drive in the morning?!? I just spent the last two days driving around NE Ohio for business and the traffic was NEVER as bad as it was on 270/670 on the eastside. Someone needs to stop developing the land out east with condos and strip malls until people start using hoverboards or jet packs to get around. The only thing stopping a**holes from driving on the shoulder (people were trying) was the truckers and the broken-down hoopties. Madness, I tell ya...MADNESS. /rant

I can't stop looking at that bus. It's like "Memphis Belle" after some B-17 was hit by flak while on a bombing run over occupied France... I'd make a "Deal With It" .gif if that driver wasn't already wearing sunglasses.

Jimmy Fallon is a class act and a funny guy. :thumb: I made it to 0:54. Realized that no one wins in this game.

Aaron, consider... + Cost of the platform, and what you get for the price + Availability of quality aftermarket parts + Relative simplicity of maintenance items + Performance capabilities on the autoX/track I think your FRC, while it needs a few things since it's a not-often driven 1999, is a heck of a chassis to go chasing after GT3s

Car p0rn, this thread is... Aaron, tweak the 'Vette...it's a great platform. DO EEET....

OMG OMG OMG...I got to :54 and I ran out of breath...:lol:

I love the look of a Ram, but I still can't get over the fact that Ford or Chevy are better-built trucks (if I'm being nice) or Dodge Rams are rustbuckets that have dookie automatic transmissions. The Cummins is the best thing about that product line.

Rhett, I'm not an avid runner but it's my go-to exercise. After working with Frontrunner for 2 years through my involvement with the UA Civic Association's Memorial Day 5-mile Run, I made my wife go there to prep for her first half-marathon. They do a really good job at working with runners on what their goals are, bodytypes, running styles, etc... http://www.frontrunnercolumbus.com/home-3 If a "cheap" pair of running sneakers are $50-$75 these days, you could be in that store, talking with someone, and coming out with a pair of running shoes and a MUCH better knowledge of what you need to do to run healthily for $100-150. Well worth the investment.

I admit I got a little zealous with my comments, but the 6.2L was sluggish. Granted, it didn't care whether it was towing something or not, it would still chug along, but I easily get up to 80mph way faster in my Ford than the diesel did. Plus, my Chevy V8s were non-hopped up, non-Vortec, carb'd blocks. They sounded good with headers, but even if I gave credit to the Ford 300-six for being down 2 cylinders, it's still a better runner. ...and that's what matters, because Chris will not use this thing often and when he does - even if it was for recreational towing - a 1/2-ton fullsize would do the job. I certainly won't claim a 6-cylinder is better than a V8 of course, but just saying if Chris finds a great F-150 and it's packing a six, that shoudn't be a deterrant. http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/showthread.php?t=106186&highlight=eddie+bauer <<<loved this one when it was for sale.

Chris, I'm glad to see your last post. So many guys I hear use the excuse of "my wife doesn't drive stick" as the reason for an automatic tee-ruk. Realistically, your wife will never drive it unless she absolutely had to for some reason, and then she'll be happy to have it. Two thoughts on kiddos in a tee-ruk: 1) If you're hauling 2 of them, a fullsize regular cab is a tight squeeze. Local trips only, and you won't haul much else other than you and two car seats. Oh yeah, and one better be forward facing and one backward; there's no room on a bench for two (nor would you with just a lap belt!) 2) Extended cab won't be worth anything until the kids are bigger. You can't put car seats in the jump seats (as far as I know). I'd hold out for the 93-96 F-150, and don't shy away from the 300 inline-6. I fucking love my mill, all simple and shit. If I had an EFI F-150 300-six with a stick I'd probably have kittens. This thing is indestructable and plenty torquey. I had GM V8s as well as the Detroit Diesel 6.2, and my bored-out 300 beats them all. Unless you're really planning on going off-road, snow tires on a 2WD tee-ruk will get you around 100%. I don't know about some of the steeper streets in Pittsburgh, but some of the CC&C guys would tell you that we went traipsing through some serious snow doing donuts and Cleetus was a champ. Took to a couple ice storms very well when 4Matic Benzes in UA were spun 180* in the road. Also, I've gone winter camping at Camp Willis out by Mad River Mountain and snowy trails weren't an issue either. If I had traction control on a 2WD with snow tires? It'd be traction-ridic. In the end, I think the tee-ruk you get for the next 3-5 child-rearing years may have to be a compromise over the tee-ruk you REALLY want down the road. Car seats are going to kill your choices. I will say in the end that my kids still love the truck 24/7, because it gives them a different view of the world than 99.9% of vehicles in the US. Think about it; even at an early age they are looking out the windshield, looking/talking to their daddy while going somewhere, both my kids are fascinated with watching me shift a manual...for the 5-10% of the year that they will be riding around in a tee-ruk (if that!) it's going to be a unique experience and far better than staring at the back of someone else's seat or some window that never gets rolled down...
