  1. Cool, I'll have to give it a try. I was loosing weight before the holidays, but gave up for a while there. Now it's time to slide back into a routine again.
  2. I'm not sure what you mean by dial in the valve train. Do you just mean set the valve lash and preload? If that is all you mean it should be a relatively simple process with a little research about your motor. You can probably buy a tool to spin the oil pump to make sure your lifters are pumped all the way up. As for the rear main seal (I can't speak to your motor), but with the engine out of the vehicle that should also not be a big deal with a little research. Then again I'm not specifically an LS guy, so I could be talking out of my ass.
  3. Damn, we're back from spring break by then. I'll have to wait and see if I have a personal day available I can take.
  4. Been in my cell phone contacts awaiting use. I've been lucky so far and able to limp my car home when I've had problems.
  5. I always knew there was more to that video than what had been posted. Nothing like a car than can make a woman's tits pop out of her shirt.
  6. Back in the day I had a Pontiac Sunbird with a red interior. When the headliner came down my dad and I grabbed some red burlap from Joann fabric (it was cheap as hell is all we really cared about). Once we cleaned up the cardboard backer we used 3m spray adhesive and trimmed the fabric when the glue was dry. Worked fine, didn't look great, but didn't look bad. To me the color match would be more important than the type of fabric.
  7. Groomzilla? Someone's been having fun with names again.
  8. Sounds like fun. I've watched autocross a couple times, but other than that my experience is about nill.
  9. Racially motivated or retaliation doesn't matter in my book. Either way those guys beat the crap out of that kid. The article commented on the disturbing trend of kids to record and post video of their crimes. I almost laughed at that. We are paying to put up cameras everywhere to monitor the population. These idiots are doing it for free for us, and the camera is right where it needs to be when it needs to be there. I wish all criminals were dumb enough to record their crimes and post them online.
  10. Great movie, I missed it in theaters so I bought it on DVD immediately when it came out.
  11. Looks like he went through the shrubs and up the small embankment before hitting the white one. So, yeah, I'll bet that is exactly what happened. He's just lucky they only had 3 parked right next to each other. There was a space between the red car and the next one over, otherwise he would be on the hook for even more. Wonder what they would charge for one of the wrecks. Actually make that two, LS swaps for both the Camaro and the Impala!
  12. They look familiar. I probably served them a beer or five. Spell check is saving me now. Between the Barley Wine and the Breakfast stout that Maumee had on tap I am pretty screwed u\p. Glad I didn't have to drive home.
  13. Looks like I'm at the maumee bay booth.
  14. Hmmmm, I was thinking about this for the Camaro this winter.
  15. I told you that something was going to break when you started using the nitrous express license plate frame. Good think you only put one Summit sticker on too. If you'd added a Jegs sticker I bet the whole trans would have let loose.
  16. Our family has bought probably 4 beds from Original Mattress Factory, no complaints what so ever.
  17. True, since he is seeing the problem during the bootup splash screen then it won't be drivers. When you said you checked all the connections, did you dissemble the display housing and check the ribbon cable running to the screen itself? If possible check both ends to make sure it is properly connected to the video adapter. I've not seen a laptop generate enough heat to screw up the LCD. I have however seen an LCD not work properly because the ribbon connecting it to the video adapter wasn't completely seated.
  18. What is your 60 foot? Are you leaving on nitrous or motor? Any tire spin at launch?
  19. Not much family for me. Both grandmothers passed before I remember, both grandfathers remarried, and now all have passed. Lost my mom to parkinsons/complications 10 years ago, dad to parkinsons/complications 2 years ago. My girlfriends parents are gone. My sister is married to an only child and his father is gone. Family dinners on Sundays are normally pretty quiet, but it's one of the best traditions we have gotten back to.
  20. Don't feel so bad, I thought the same thing.
  21. Don't know if I would go that far, a coyote in a cobra is cool, but an LS7 in a GTM makes me hard enough that a cat couldn't scratch it.
  22. You will get a tasting glass if VIP or a plastic cup if not VIP when you get there. You'll also get a sheet of tickets. 1 ticket per beer, but historically nobody cares about the tickets. Most of the people doing the pouring and serving are volunteers, so nobody really cares about the tickets. If you're having trouble standing up, or are obnoxiously drunk then people will probably quit serving you, but otherwise I doubt anyone will say anything. Hell, they are probably a bit drunk too since volunteers can drink while they work. Last time I volunteered I got pretty hammered.
  23. I'll be there volunteering. I was at the Thirsty Dog booth last spring for the Friday night event.
  24. I assume $100 plus the added line items that they tack on. Last time I got a ticket they dinged me for "Court computerization fee" and "Ohio victims of crime fund" along with a processing fee and probably a couple others. Whole thing was probably $200 by the time it was all said and done.
  25. Is it just a hanger bracket under the chassis? If it's a simple open easy to get to spot and doesn't need to be pretty I can probably help you this weekend. I'm sure Mad Hatter can do it to and will charge you next to nothing.
