One more point if allergies are really the deal breaker. Get a Siberian. We have one.

I am very allergic to cats but not *those* cats. Google it.

Though this was interesting:

Meh, looks like they re-bodied my old Sky.

I dunno. I think that looks pretty hot as long as the performance keeps up with the wrapper.

Finally picked up a new Rolex Submariner for daily wear. Love the elegant simplicity. Goes with anything from a henley to a dinner jacket.

Going to put a whitegold/black face Chronograph Daytona on order later this year to celebrate a special occasion. Looking seriously at some Zenith's as well.

Seems like the rain is *never* enough to get the car clean! :lolguy:

Bet you're excited. When are you thinking the 'fire up' date will be?

Here is a before and almost after shot. (Still working on the aero and we tinted the glass 20/20/20/50)

LOL. Thanks guys. It's been the project of, "Hey! I just thought of something....".

P.S. In before, "No 1,000 hp/no care" :fa:

I'll get a bunch of pictures up as things come together finally but...

Initial tune is in. Some road testing this weekend/next week and then week after next we'll finish install of some of the remaining systems (fire suppression, etc.)

Here's where we ended the week. On the 3.75 pulley (the second largest KB makes) and a conservative tune on E-85 we're making ~990/888. We'll do the 'race tune/pulley' at the end of the month.

Definitely happy with the results so far. This is right in line with where we predicted we'd be performance wise at this point. Another stellar job by PPC. :fuckyeah:

Forget the feral pigs....

Need a good, padded 3 point harness if you are going to jog with your AR-15 though.

No stage 3, no care. Blower or nothing

On the 4.6L 3V I'd have to agree. Minimal investment required to get to 430+ at the wheels which puts the fun in a whole 'nother bracket.

On the 5.0L, I think there's still something to be said for heating up the N/A versions as an alternative to boosting.

This 'attitude' plate still available:

Ticket for no front plate? Luxury tax for not fucking the aesthetics of my car.

I like it.

The corollary:

Running a front plate? The aesthetics fucking price I pay to NOT have you pull me over and write me up for the rest of the shit on/off my car that possibly doesn't meet DOT, EPA, and/or state and local statute requirements.

What is the largest dose of LSD someone has ever taken?

Answer:

The largest voluntary dose of LSD ever taken was 750,000ug (7,500 street doses) in 1994. The individual suffered from residual effects for some time, though evidence of permanent damage was insufficient.

The largest accidental overdose was a user who had mistakenly injected 320,000ug of LSD under the false conception that it was methamphetamine.

So don't do that? Y'all keep arguing that hog attacks are hypothetical possible, which I don't deny, but I'm arguing that it's not a real problem that normal people have to worry about. Hunters getting in over their heads, sure. Farmers defending their property, yeah. I can't find any stories of pig attacks that don't involved one of those two categories. Dude was way more likely to get struck by lightning than attacked by a pig.

As many times as this has been tried and failed I would think a different approach is in order.

Either: Go to a referendum if the public support is there

Or: Lobby for a further modification in the law which reduces the fine to like $10. Take the profit! motive out of it. Need to get that attached to some bill no one wants to kill - I don't think even a fine reduction would pass on its own

Buckeye Stangs is holding their Spring Hocking Hills cruise the very next weekend (Saturday May 11):

Not that I am opposed to doing something separate but depending on what the intent was, you mght find it easier to combine efforts (especially given the date proximity).

Let me suggest an alternate approach where all of this could have been stopped before it started:

"911. What's your emergency?"

"I see a man walking down the road with a kid and he's carrying a rifle."

"Yes, ma'am. Is he doing anything peculiar?"

"Well, he's just walking by but did you hear me? He has a GUN!"

"Ma'am, that's perfectly legal here in the State of Texas. Please relax and have a nice day <click>."
