  1. Happy birfday all the same to a good dood. :thumbup:
  2. I do not. I also don't need another tetanus booster.
  3. Who is Brian...Dyno Tune?
  4. Do you want to stay in Arlington? I'll check to see if my tenant is renewing next month or not... I've got a 3br/1ba, 1.5car garage off of Fishinger/Mountview...
  5. I already had my response thought out, and was refreshed at everyone's comments... I HAD A HARD TIME WATCHING THAT ENTIRE VIDEO!!!
  6. That thing is fucking bauce. GLWS...I've got enuff beat-up trucks.
  7. STEP AWAY FROM THE Z, JASON...
  8. I'm sure part of it is just getting older, but three realizations came to me last week: 1) Most people that I care for keep in touch with me OUTSIDE of Facebook (CR <3) 2) The thought of more targeted marketing based on my personal information annoys me. 3) FB phail on NASDAQ...soooooooooo fucking overhyped. I'll let you doods know how everything goes from this point forward...I have a feeling life will continue to get better from here. http://www.sunriseproperties.net/image%5Csunrise.jpg
  9. They need to have one for Pabst Blue Ribbon: "That Salvation Army sweater and thick-frame glasses is a TOTALLY original look!"
  10. +1. I can see all the Chevy (ex-Corvette) guys getting banned for being Made in Canada/Mexico :lolguy:
  11. I had a good friend talk some sense into me. No longer for trade/sale.
  12. I've done Golden Bear Black Top in the past, but that's UA. It's also hella-spensive at a few hundo. I've been thinking of doing it myself, but anyone that's seen my driveway knows it's a lotta surface area, now seriously contaminated in areas with gear lube, oil, tranny fluid from working on trucks over the last two years.
  13. Yep. That was what it was like the last few days. While cranking, I had to back the key off eeevvver so slightly until it "caught" the ignition circuit. No more of that nonsense! However, something still remains...when it first fires up, it has an ignition miss that is EXACTLY correlated to the seat belt buzzer. I know...the buzzer: The engine fires up, and the "FASTEN SEAT BELT" light flickers very quickly. The buzzer sounds terrible, and I need to give it a quarter throttle for it to stay running (missing a couple of cylinders the whole time) The buzzer turns off, and for a moment, the "FSB" light shines brightly and the engine smooths out perfectly. The light turns off and there are no other problems. Last night when I was replacing the ignition switch, I had the instrument cluster out for better access to the bolts and wiring harness. I started it up and it was smooth immediately...then immediately realized I forgot to connect the harness to the instrument cluster. I plugged in the cluster, then turned the engine off and restarted. The same old sequence I described above remained. I'm going to dick around some more with the seatbelt buzzer. If I disconnect it, does whatever bad circuit it's contributing to go away? Is it computer related, and the buzzer is affecting it's performance? Could it be the instrument cluster? I can't imagine it's actually the buzzer causing ignition problems, but if it traces me back to a source I'll be very happy.
  14. [Disappointed Asian Father Meme] C'MON, UA! YOU CAN DO BETTER! [/Disappointed Asian Father Meme]
  15. Did some "clean-up" stuff over the last few days... Ever since the new engine, I had a great idle, but it would diesel/rattle off the line. Timing was clearly off, like the distributor's vacuum advance. Thanks to the intarbutt, I realized I was pulling vacuum from the manifold, not using a ported vacuum source from the carburetor. I switched sources, and watched the vacuum advance lever...what used to be full-on all the time, now adjusted with throttle input. I still haven't timed the engine (just listened) but made adjustments and the engine runs much better now! I ran it for so long without proper timing...hope I havent done too much engine damage. Also, if you look in earlier posts, you'll notice I struggled with startup issues. On Friday, I had the truck out doing errands, and it wouldn't start when I was in a parking lot. Had to finagle the key just barely to get the ignition to trigger...the starter had no problems cranking, just seemed like the ignition system never got excited at startup. Bought $11 starter switch (in-dash master switch actuated by ignition key on steering column) SOLVED THE PROBLEM! turn the key on a cold motor, and it fires right up now!
  16. Sorry to hear about the medical problems! s5? Rs4? S6? All are rare, exclusive, available with manual transmissions. Since they are all VW/Audi, the clutch will be comfortably soft. Plus, they aren't on your previously owned list!
  17. Though I could probably get $25-$40 for the cat alone, I don't know when I'd get to a scrap yard. Stock 2.25" Ford F150 exhaust, single cat, glasspack exhaust. Flange to end of exhaust appx 6' long. FREE, or if you're nice please come over with a Timing light that I can borrow for 10 minutes and you can leave with the exhaust. Thanks!
  18. Do I sense a bit of "Dune" near the end? Buck...there's your '80s movie reference. G'night...I need to be up for C&C.
  19. I can't answer that at this juncture, but I would still hold hope that it would be a solid 4. :fuckyeah:
  20. The reason I post these reviews is that Netflix DOES suck. Watch Limitless, stop bitching.
  21. Get at least half-way drunk, then watch this movie. Amazing emotional rollercoaster. I've never seen a movie that back-doors the viewer so well into an addict's life. The highs, the lows, the betrayal, lies, etc... It's not a feel-good movie...just offers an amazing perspective. Props to Bradley Cooper; he's a great actor, waaaay more cerebral than in the Hangover. 5 stars.
  22. Is this a given? If it's warm and it's a Friday/Saturday...peeps are out there? I'll be out around 10ish.
