Pick-n-pull's processing area is jammed full, and I think they have a bunch of cars plopped off-site as well. A lot of cars went straight into the shredder/compacter without hitting the yard too.

Are there any places in central Ohio offering Florida and Utah CCW qualifying courses?

Well, if by distance you mean 100 yards, there's always Deer Creek.

Federal Hydra-Shok, .45ACP 185gr +P. I've also got some of the 230gr flavor, but I prefer the +P. For anti-zombie duty, I've found that RUAG GP-11 is the shiznit.

Who's the other chick?

The dealership has what is basically a new strut tower hat that fits over the rusted area and is welded in place. It's a common problem with minis from 96 to 00, the pan that holds the windshield wiper assembly drains onto the top of the shock tower. It is a weld-in repair, you do have to paint or at least prime the area afterwards, and it should run about $1100ish for a quality job of it. Check out http://www.allpar.com/forums/index.php and search the minivan section, they have quite a few write-ups on the process.

So?

RE... Seriously, WTF?

I will NEVER EVER complain again about all the shit I have to go through to get laid on Valentine's day.

Yeah really, they've got signs at the entrances, at the end of every row, and randomly scattered all over the damn place explaining why you shouldn't pull heads and oiled parts from motors that are covered in paint. Last Saturday, I watched two idiots learn the hard way that spending 4 hours pulling a Saturn motor covered in paint was an utter waste of time.....funny though!

I have a vision...a vision of a Lockheed C-130 Hercules with a high-pressure/high-volume pump, 400 feet of high-flow spraybars under the wings, and 10,000 gallons of pure pig blood onboard...

There are quite a few DMC-12s in Columbus, one of their bigger dealers was here. Bexley seems to have a bunch for some reason. If that one really is titled as an 1983 vehicle, it wasn't actually sold by DeLorean, but by Consolidated International, the company that bought up DMCs assets after the bankruptcy. Consolidated later became Odd Lots/Big Lots.....

It's more fun to build your own anyway.

I did 16hr days continuously from Dec 1st to the 24th five years in a row. Christmas rush at Meijer's back in the 90s. To this day I bear an unreasoning hatred for Jose Feliciano.

+1 for Grundy. One of my friends had a 71 Mustang that got hit bad. He was fully expecting to end up buying it back after the total, but they went above and beyond to fully repair the car. Honestly, I think he had a better car after they got done than he did before the accident.

Well, given that Larry Shinoda DIED in 1997....no, I don't think it's a REAL Shinoda. An AMC Pacer is more "real Shinoda" than that car.

The 1980 Cali car will be lowest. 180hp, LG4 305 with auto only. An 84 made 205 auto and 210 manual with the Crockfire. The good news is that the 84 had the heavy-duty suspension as standard, people complained about the ride so they added a softer version in 85. The heavy-duty suspension carried on as the Z51 option.

Now that's really good for the axle bearings.

Veracity, this. BUT...if they DO give a reason such as theft, they must be able to prove it. That all goes through Job and Family Services, if you don't claim for unemployment or to challenge the firing then nothing will happen. I've got a coworker that used to process claims at J&FS, I'll check with her on the process tomorrow.

FedEx Ground is the way to go. My job involves shipping a LOT of heavy and fragile crates, we've used FedEx, UPS ground, Conway, R&L, and Yellow. FedEx is best, we've never had trouble with them. Conway was the worst, they smashed more stuff than they delivered correctly, and it was a HASSLE dealing with the claims. Bolt the motor to a regular pallet using 2x4s under the front mounts. At the rear, use a couple of the bellhousing boltholes to locate a 2x4 horizontally, then nail that to some vertical 2x4s that are nailed to a 2x4 nailed across the pallet. Frame the whole thing with vertical 2x4s every foot or so, then a square of more 2x4 around the top. You do want some strength in it, having the motor come loose is BAD.

Fuck Navarro, fuck fuck Navarro..... God help me, I've got the "Nasty as They Wanna Be" tape stashed away in a box somewhere in the garage.

Good Lord. That's IMPRESSIVE. I'd be an utter proper gentleman with those girls, dying of shin welts would SUCK.

Do you have ones with a RED shell, or the ones with a metallic-ish orange shell? The red ones are the native ones, they are good and nothing to worry about. Scoop them off and relocate them to a sunny part of the house outside. If they are the orange ones, scoosh away with no delay! They are Asian Ladybugs, a non-native species, and can be a problem. Fuckers bite too, and they STINK.

Her floor mats got stuck.

There were a bunch of those "retro-luxury" cars around in the early-mid 80s. There were versions based off of Mustangs, T-birds and Cougars, F-bodies, 2-door Caprices, Lincoln Town Cars (4-door!), Monte Carlos, Malibus, even front-drive Buick Rivieras and (seriously, I saw it myself at a Super Chevy Show in 98 or 99) an El Camino! Most of them were kits, but some were pretty well built using just a stock unibody shell and drivetrain.
