  1. You have never done anything wrong toward me as far as religious or spiritual reason is concerned. You didn't mention what faith that you were baptized for, although I have an idea. I can say this much, if these persons you had offended/attacked were true and real Christians, you had been forgiven. Personally, I'm glad to hear that you have turned a new leaf in your life for the better. Keep it on.
  2. My friend gave me his 55-in Samsung plasma for practically nothing. I just had to pick it up in Dayton.
  3. Nope. Reservation is taken only on Monday to Thursday.
  4. He can make/weld titanium exhaust? What else can he do with titanium?
  5. You can still lower it some, the front is the problem, but 2-inch front drop is all you want anyway; geometry got screwed up when arms angle is changed too much. Then add big sway bars and stiff dampers.
  6. There you go. It's a nice, high trim level truck. I would've bought it a few months ago if it was a 2WD with a 6-sp transmission.
  7. I'm wondering what happened. Turbo prop planes are not as bad as jets when it comes to stall speed. Are we witnessing an example of loss of control due to stray signals? Did one passenger manage to operate a device that affected onboard electronics?
  8. Sidewall height will not save anything with that much camber. Even production tires with a built-in camber wouldn't be able to.
  9. Negatory. It's so much bigger and so much uglier than a Lexus SC300 ...
  10. Multiple tailpipes of various sizes, unlikely to work.
  11. Nope. My money goes to cars not electronic gadgets.
  12. The snow on my driveway wouldn't have cleared in this temperature (35F cloudy). I'm glad I cleared it around noon before the rain or it would have been a bigger mess of even heavier wet snow.
  13. Battle of the barges? I'll bring my 5300-lb crew cab.
  14. A perfect stable mate for it would be a Z28.
  15. Fly in, meet him in person, witness the signing, fly back.
  16. Yep, do it often (like once a week) to keep it clean and you don't need a heavy cleaner. The lye-based wheel cleaner I got actually scares me. It's diluted 5:1 and I keep watch of it closely while it's working. Sonax falls between this diluted pro product and the diluted Optimum (2:1), but diluted Optimum is a whole lot cheaper for light cleaning and if you need medium cleaning, use Optimum at full strength but keep an eye on it. By using Optimum for a lot of things (work for underhood cleaning when diluted further) you keep the cleaner variety in your shelf to one.
  17. I use diluted Optimum for wheels (light cleaning) and this diluted pro product (lye based) for heavy cleaning; I wouldn't use Optimum without rinsing. I don't use steamer for interior, just a regular vacuum cleaner. Power washer is half a hassle for me and I don't like the strong spray which may take off trim, paint, emblem, or any other piece; so undercarriage rinsing is done using a garden hose with a good nozzle. I do this several times a week between the truck and the Z in salty months keeping them cleaner, so a power washer is not required; they never got so dirty. Only once in a long while one of them would need a couple full washes to get rid of the heavier dirt. I use a cheap 1.5-in wide paint brush (with a few layers of duct tape around the wide part next to the bristles to avoid marring and scratching) to clean between spokes and lug wells. A large soft nylon brush with split ends for larger areas like the lip and center section. To clean the barrel, I use a tire-bead-lube applicator which has loose cloth bristles and wire handle. The wire handle is covered by a few layers of duct tape to prevent marring and scratching. It's small enough to go between caliper and barrel for most wheel and brake conbinations; otherwise the car will need to roll a maximum of 270-deg wheel revolution (the case for CTS-V with 18" wheels, no need while having 19" or larger). My interiors are usually vacuumed and lightly cleaned using this pro product containing mink oil. Once in a long while, cars with leather trim get Leatherique full treatment. So far, the Leatherique treatments never yielded anything to indicate heavy soiling.
  18. Silly GM, 4.3l is for supercharger.
