So it's been nearly 2 weeks, has the EPA released the secret ecu yet?

There fb states they started the car yesterday or the day before.

Southern Tier Pumking

If you aren't drinking Pumking this time of year you're doing it wrong. I would accept dogfish head pumpkin or weyerbacher imperial pumpkin ale as substitutes. There are a couple others but nothing you can get locally.

A 10 year old BMW that is selling for 15% of its original value probably probably isn't the bargain people tend to think it is. They tend to all need timing cover gaskets and coolant pipes/orings (30+hours labor) Many are starting to smoke at idle. Either needs upgraded valve covers and or secondary air cleanings/valve stem seals. They all have trans leaks that require gaskets or pan replacements. This is just stuff of the top of my head.

My $.02 is a guy looking to spend $15k on a car isn't typically looking to spend the kind of money these cars require to stay maintained.

Too much oil, likely. You want just enough to keep them from sticking to the pan.

cool. Ill try that. thanks

all these suggestions are great if you hate veggies.

I NEVER ate veggies as a kid. But have forced myself into it within the past couple years (30 now) with the help of the g/f.

Steam and or grill them. use ranch to get the initial gross factor down on cold veggies. you'll come around.

There might be a few that you disgust. for me its pickles.

Asparagus is great. though I will say the last couple times I used the skillet it came out chewy.... undercooked?

What wheel? was it that drivers rear?

shhh

how did you know?

cause aaron gave me the heads up that something wasn't right with it when he was behind me a couple weeks ago.

took me till yesterday to put 2 and 2 together.

I have no one to blame but myself.

grrr.

That sucks, I wondered why I hadn't seen you out there. Quite a few of my friends have been having issues with breaking studs while on the track lately and have just gone back to wheel bolts to avoid the frustration. Not sure if stresses are different on the studs or there's a much more limited life, but thats a crappy situation.

Yeah, big disappointment for me. had been looking forward to it for months. I think i know what happened though. Some time ago i had the centering rings in backwards. i don't think the wheel sat flush. When i took the other studs out a couple of them were lightly bent. I'm gonna replace all the rear wheel studs and keep an eye on them. Fail on me

What happened?

broke a hardened race wheel stud off, 10 minutes before getting on the track. :dumb:

thanks for another event Shawn.

sucks my car was a fail and didn't get one lap in.

had some fun riding along in my friends' C5's though.

next time.....

so is there any limits on what we can wear? i'm assuming actual shoes, no flip flops, shorts ok? long sleeve shirt or can i wear a t-shirt? I'm assuming we have to wear helmets

for me its always been shoes, pants and t-shirt. no shorts I believe

i have a XXXL and a XXL, the XXXL i will be using in the beginner class, but he is more than welcome to borrow the XXL. these are ICON sizes which run a lil big.

that would be awesome. Ill use a hammer to make it fit if necessary.:lolguy: Ill look for you. looks like you're signed up with a prelude? maybe? Ill be driving a white vw.

anybody have a fat head helmet I/we could borrow just for ride along's? My buddy wants to come up with us but he doesn't have a helmet and nobody in my group of friends has one big enough. I dont know his size buts its LARGE.

If anyone has one they could share that would be great.

Derek

Ill be at the dyno.

Dunno if Ill make it to the show or not. Maybe a walk through.

Fair enough.

 

 

 

Since you didn't quote Tito in your post and I didn't hear him say it I was led to believe you thought Forrest couldn't hit. Also, if it comes from Titos mouth it's trash talk. lol. He felt a few pitter-patters and is feeling them today. I promise you that.

agreed and agreed... I just want him to finish fights. He used to submit guys now he just lets the judges make the call.

You have to have made an intelligent case before you can put one to rest.

 

 

Dumbest thing I've ever heard anyone say about MMA. Take just one of his "pitter-patter" hits. I'd love to see the results.

 

hey I was drinking and it was late.

since when do we compare what other fighters say to what I would think if I entered the ring? Im just repeating what Tito says about him and the fact that forrest doesn't finish fights as of late but still has a super high punch count. thats all.

At 1st it looked like an illegal knee, but replays showed it went to the body...but that still doesn't explain why the ref was letting Silva hold on for dear life to sonnen's shorts. Oh well. I was hoping for a different outcome on both fights. Anyone feel the Tito/Forrest fight was scored incorrectly?

I thought it was correct. Other than as Tito mentioned Forest didn't really do much damage. His punches are pitter-patter, which score points but that's about it. you have to finish the fight if you don't like how judging is done.
