  1. i will go for a drive, work on one of my cars, or play with my girls. i also have a list of obstacles in my head, that i've overcome in my life--different failures that i've dealt with and made it through. i'll recall those events and realize that what i'm going through at this time is nothing compared to what i made it through in the past--this works well
  2. i guess that's what happens when two people who chase ambulances for a living collide. sounds like you should withhold your 'expert' testimony. buddy of mine once got a call from a chiropracter's office asking him to make an appointment with their doctor since he was involved in a car wreck. he informed them that the 'car wreck' was actually someone side-swiping his parked truck while he was out of town. i'll make sure not to use them if i decide to sue anyone, thanks for the advice--never mind the above statement, i'm totally joking
  3. the zr1, unless i had 4 trailer homes to pull---then i'd go with 4 camaros. i heard they got mad torque, and are nice and heavy--would make great tow vehicles
  4. or you could enjoy a nice night like me----watching dancing with the stars and john and kate plus 8, and having a 5 month old with croup intermittently waking up all night long to spit up on you. didn't you make another thread like this not too long ago??

    Sad shit

    couldn't watch past 2 minute mark--absolutely terrible. we'd see at least 1-2 broken femurs per month from child abuse in kids under 2 years old when i worked at kiddy's downtown. thankfully, bones heal fast and all these kids were removed from the environment they were in. still, pretty aweful--but nothing like this video, shit.
  6. yep, that looks like a camaro. welcome to the site.
  7. supercharged?? pulley/tune/intake/catback??? congrats hal, looks good
  8. i used to be able to do those challenges. i had over 100 wings at QS&L on a few occasions when i lived in columbus. we'd roll in with 8 guys and eat over 500 wings on tuesdays. our group of 8 personally shut down the 'all you can eat' crab legs at gibby's on grandview. over the 6 months we went there, the price went from $19.95, to $21.95, and $22.95, and then they just discontinued it. twice when we went, they ran out of crab legs. we even had a guy in our group who had a mild shellfish allergy--he'd load up on benadryl before we left--what a team player
  9. i'm not sure i'd admit the fact that i was able to squeeze that kind of mileage out of my new sports car. i guess a congrats is in order??
  10. i've already noticed this. once i moved all our shit i was storing at my parent's house (dining room set, giant china cabinet), as well as my wood shop, and the new car trailer---the space has shrunk dramatically. its enough for me right now. a 4 post lift would help get one car out of the way. i don't want too big of a garage, as i'm not really doing much here--mostly just for heated storage
  11. because i'm a flaming pussy when it comes to my wife. just being honest here.
  12. used to love watching stacey on 'trucks'. very entertaining---reminds me a little of steve irwin---he could be describing the smell of shit, but you watch it anyways because of his personality/enthusiasm
  13. the house we're renting right now has a heated 2 car garage. the cobra and wife's SUV fit inside, not much else. the GTO gets parked outside, as i still drive it to work a couple times per week. once it snows, the GTO is going into the storage building. you can see all the boxes filled with my solid rear end stuff for the cobra sitting in front of my tool carts. axle is assembled, i just need it installed, along with control arms, panhard bar, and torque arm.

    I'm A Dad...

    congrats, welcome to the craziness.
  15. i have 8k's on my goat---bright blue as fuck--so powerful i've actually run a few people off the road with them
  16. +1000 my wife's grandfather wanted great-grandchildren. he passed before we could make it a reality. he left us a fair amount of money. we used it to help us have kids, and set the rest aside for college funds. all things he would have highly approved of. whatever you do, don't waste it.
  17. he didn't elaborate. i figured he was referring to the firestone mess, but who knows--this guy sells trailors for a living, and was pretty knowledgeable. our '05 has the weak v8, so i will probably end up using our caddy if my wife will let me.
  18. i'd sell you my '05 eddie bauer explorer for $15k easily, and it just rolled over 50k miles. we've been very happy with it so far. third row is difficult to get to--i just have all 3 car seats across the middle row, with the 3rd row folded down. $18k is too much. explorers do NOT make good tow vehicles, so i'm told. i just picked up a new car hauler, and the guy at the trailer dealership warned me strongly against using our explorer to tow
  19. right now its about 2 miles from our house, and 1/4 mile from my work---we live in a pretty small town.
  20. so, who's the fag you met at bed bath and beyond??? no one here going to fess up?? just kidding, welcome to the site
  21. just got my storage area straightened out and organized. still a bit of a mess. building is 30' by 50' with plenty of outlets, water, big gas heater, etc. just need a good 4 post lift. http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/3995/dsc00570je.jpg http://img34.imageshack.us/img34/5766/p7091570.jpg http://img200.imageshack.us/img200/2964/dsc00561bb.jpg http://img34.imageshack.us/img34/6089/p7091575.jpg http://img30.imageshack.us/img30/1999/p7091576.jpg http://img30.imageshack.us/img30/8868/p7091579.jpg http://img198.imageshack.us/img198/5220/p7091585.jpg http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/751/p7091588.jpg
  22. i will make ten times the cost difference between the new car and a used one now that everyone at the dealership including the owner knows who i am and what i do--and that i am willing to support local business. hell, i've already taken care of two of their employees and certainly made more than what we've paid for the truck so far its personal preference. i will buy used cars all day long, but not in this specific case.
  23. +1 or you could just show up to work and pretend nothing happened. maybe you dreamed all this up?
