  1. Damn that looks corny! Is there a Y-pipe? Or is this going to be a dual exhaust? Good to see it's coming back together well.
  2. Okay thanks. A little damage doesn't bother me, I'll have to get it painted to match anyhow.
  3. I've been with BMI ever since I used to work for Sarcom. BMI has never once ever given me reason to consider changing. I do most of my banking though at the Kemba in hilliard because it's a more convenient location. The only disadvantage I know to credit unions was that they were small with very few locations. With the credit union network though you can typically do any transaction for free at any credit union, so I've never once been somewhere I couldn't get cash or deposit a check. Credit unions are everywhere. My recommendation is to do it.
  4. I'm not sure if it's exactly what you're looking for, but you might check out a place called Oink Moo Cluck. http://www.oinkmoocluck.com/index.html
  5. Any pics from inside the building? You mention a well, does the shop have another water supply? I've been thinking about something like this for a while. Valley View would be further away from my house than I would like though.
  6. Jones should like her .... she has an outie.
  7. I will need some tweaking on the tune for the Camaro this summer. I'll hit you up when it's time.
  8. Sweet! That means the prices on the iPad 2 will come down even more. That'll put it in my price range.
  9. I know a guy who's very interested. PM me a number I can pass along to him.
  10. I'd agree that some family counceling is in order. The adults (mother and step-father) need to work as a team and be in agreement, otherwise the kids will play them off against each other and win every time. Never let the kids divide and conquer. While I'm not a parent, I do understand that you have to be careful with what you say, and you have to follow through with it every time. Otherwise the kids will learn that you don't mean what you say, and that you will waffle if they put you on the spot and make you live up to your word. Depending on the history 2 weeks sounds a little bit much, but if that's what he said, then that's what he has to do. I'm a fan of making the kid stew a little bit while I calm down and rationally think through what I'm going to do. Oh, and they are grounded (no friends, phone, etc...) while I'm thinking.
  11. I would pay a premium to be able to ditch the front plate on a couple of my cars.
  12. Based on the fact you said there would be no outside light I think a projector would be a good choice. I set up a system years ago and I'll give you some of my thoughts. I don't use it as much as I thought I would just because it's a little less convenient than sitting down and turning on the TV. I would not buy a referb projector (not sure if you were thinking about that or not) because of the fact the bulb has a limited life span. With a referb you have no idea how much life is left in the bulb and they can be a couple hundred to replace. Also, price out a replacement bulb before you buy the projector. That cost may enter into your decision. Think about your screen. You can project on any wall, but if you want crisp and clear you will need a screen. I painted mine on the wall with (Behr paint has a color called silver screen). You're welcome to come by and check it out if you like. If I had it to do over again I would switch the base paint to a less glossy base. There is one very bright spot in the center of the screen when the room is dark. You cannot see it at an angle, but if you are directly in front of the screen it is very noticeable. There is a limit to the screen size as the light from the projector becomes more dispersed the further away from the screen you are. Off the top of my head I don't know it, but there is a formula for figuring luminosity vs. distance. In a normal sized house room with no ambient light though you probably don't need to worry about it. Read as much as you can about the projectors you are looking at, there are a lot of features you will want to evaluate. For instance, my projector has a cooling fan that is a little on the loud side. You might be interested in the tradeoff of lumens vs. using an LED bulb that will allow for quieter operation of the projector. I'm not an expert by far, these are just a few of the things I have reflected on after setting up my system.
  13. Maybe I should see how the Impala would run Auto-X ... is there a Battleship class for me to run in? With the suspension updates it handles better than any other car I own.
  14. Saturdays or Sundays would be worth it to me not having to take the day off work.
  15. I'm all for them using a turbo V6 and getting some better fuel economy. For the amount of hours/miles that get put on those cars a little bit of fuel economy could add up to a lot of saved taxpayer dollars in fuel.
  16. Done, and I'll update to the new version when you post it.
  17. Sounds like a good chance to check how the Camaro is doing since she last saw the dyno.

  19. Welcome to columbus LS racing. Great intro. Nice looking car, looks like your plans are pretty solid. Plenty of good LS information around here too.
