Solo Vette

I have one in my garage that is missing a couple of the bolts in the top cover, but appears to be in good shape inside.

Came out of a 92 LX 5.0.

$200.00

Yeah, I'm in on a hoodie. Thanks again for your time the other day Rob. Since I spend every waking hour at work you will see my Stang soon which will give you a chance to put some stickers on it. I love stick-on horsepower, so much easier than bolt-ons.

Great looking car. Congrats!

1. Take weeks vacation

2. Park as far out in parking lot as possible at work

3. Sit on roof of Lowes with high powered rifle

4. Profit

 

Yeah, I like that idea. At our dealership people started stealing the spares off of Libertys, Wranglers, and even a bald tire steel wheel on the back of a beat up trade in. I have thought about staying down here one night.

Some people will steal whatever, that sucks man.

Looking for a set of 42lb. injectors or larger and a calibrated mass air flow sensor for my 86 GT.

Depending on the trimlevel of the XUV The value is anywhere from 4-8k that is wholesale. Just looked it up in the blackbook, and that includes mileage deduction. Keep in mind that doesnt mean you would make money on top of that 4-8k. Just thought I would throw those values at you, and yes the Envoy/Trailblazers are the worst midsize SUV for gas mileage.

Well the real problem is truly logistics, let me explain....Since I am sure they are such a bargain, we would have to get two. One for the westside for the customers that live there, then one for the eastside, people from north and south would just have to drive. Since they do not seem to have a matching pair, I am putting my money back in my pocket.

Honestly I wouldn't trust it, I have some experience with the Kymco brand. I will tell you when they run, they run good, and the quad we had didn't feel alot different than any others I have been on. They seem to be plagued with electrical issues like most of the other Chinese ATV's and scooters. Yeah and getting some parts is well difficult. I have only had luck ordering factory direct. Which took forever.

Rob, I use the car to hold the floor in my garage down. Damn concrete is always floating away. I do not drive it much. I will use it for a couple SCCA fun events. I bought the intake, but cannot seem to find any Z06 factory exhaust, which was the route I was going.

I wondered how long it would take for that Ben Franklin quote to appear.

 

That being said, what are these devices TAKING away from the citizen? Which liberty are you specifically talking about?

 

They are not active means of controlling or prohibiting action. Nor do they harm citizens in any way. They are simply passive forms of monitoring. These GPS devices perform the same function as the federal government's form of tracking... like credit card transactions, satellite imagery, and cell phone tracing. It is just another way to keep honest people honest, and provide undeniable proof against people already commiting serious crimes. On top of that, these little devices also allow local law enforcement agencies to do with a few officers what would normally take dozens. Rather than having multiple police officers stake out a suspect's house (which they would do anyway if they didn't use GPS) and follow them around town, placing one of these devices on the suspect's vehicle saves the department tens if not hundreds of man hours. Ultimately saving the tax payer (that's you) money.

Ok, now I will agree with you on the fact that they are passive forms, however two things; 1. They are not undeniable

proof, just the same as credit cards are not. i.e. someone else is driving your car, or using your card, there has to be visual evidence. 2. Whatever happened to catching someone in the act? Is that not what the police tell you when your shit gets stolen? Ok so they are going to put a device on a car and build a case based off of the info on the device, but no visual evidence. I don't know about that. 2. I do not know about saving the taxpayer money, maybe...However the officers are still going to be on duty, maybe just able to cover other things.

Not trying to pose an arguement, just pointing out the opinion of one moron taxpayer.

I'll also agree they do help keep honest people honest. I do not see how they take any liberties either. I just think the line has to be drawn somewhere.

Yeah good price. I just came across one wholesale from a dealer I work with, and it was 15,5 with 86k. Beat to hell.

Oh good the oil issue has been covered. Car looks nice.

Nothing wrong with a convertible, roll what you dig. I believe it was Dwayne Goodrich (could be wrong) that used to race a single turbo beast of a black vert.

 

I will say that all 5.0 owners come to their senses and purchase notchbacks eventually...

 

The car is nice. As for coming to our senses and buying notches, I would agree. Oh wait I refused to take out a mortgage to buy a decent notch, even though I wanted one really bad. All I found that were decent were autos.

Good looking car, but it does need Vanilla Ice's wing!

THIS WILL FAIL AS HARD AS THE AZTEC

 

You are correct, however I still have customers that come in asking if we ever get Azteks in.

Are you serious people?

I used Leaders Moving Company. They did a good job and they charge by the item so you know exactly what the rate is going to be beforehand.

 

I have also used Leaders, decent rates, and knowing the rate beforehand is helpful.

Too many of these people end up going through crap like this. Guy fights for his country, comes back messed up, only to fight an even bigger war. My thought is; But for the grace of God it could be any one of us. Think about when and where you were born, and the support you have had through your life... I used to work out there, and believe I know who you are talking about. Too damn bad. Hopefully karma catches up with them.

so if i find this thing on my car and destroy it, would they bring criminal charges against me? or what if i threw it out the window on the freeway or something?

 

After reading that story I can only assume you would have charges brought against you for destroying police property. This is scary, because once again it only shows who has control, and that police really are above the law.

Could I go and put a GPS on someone else's car? No, and if I found one on my car would throwing it out be damaging someone else's property? I don't know, I guess there are too many holes here left up to an officer's and/or a department's discretion???

Speed Triple>Buell

 

+1 Speed Triple rules, wish I would have bought one of those instead of my ultra f-ing slow noisy VTX

i thought this was going to be a post about all of the bunnies down at osu.

 

fail.

I thought that was what the post was going to be about too. Although consider the trouble one might get into trying to photograph bunnies on campus?

It might be ugly but we're still talking about it..... Marketing and Design have done their job IMO.

 

Good point. Look at it this way, I am sure it is badass and great to ride, you hardly see the front end while you are riding.

I am not offended, but mine is the second slowest in my stable.

Ok, maybe I am not supposed to be on the Official List since I am still a Riceboy???

not on the list, i'm sooooooooooooooooooooooo offended. it is the slowest in my corral though.

 

I am not offended, but mine is the second slowest in my stable.

Look the auto industry is down-sizing, restructuring...So here is what happened. They fired the design team in the middle of the front end, and brought the guys who designed the late 70's BMW cars in at half the salary.

I beat it up in the hot tub and in the bed!!!

 

Nice, must be an F-Body thing. My Mustang didn't seem to impress her enough....Damn I knew I should have kept the Camaro..

I'd hit it...

 

Yeah me too.

Thanks again for the info Rob. I will have to stop by the shop sometime soon, as this car needs some help. I could do it, but damn if the bosses don't make me work too much!
