... just to add: yeah, it's terribly boring watching a few hundred cars you don't see on the road everyday doing burnouts 5' in front of you. Its' a horrible time each and every year; I don't know why I keep going.

I am heading over in about an hour. Will be in the badass pewter Tahoe (with matching painted bug shield, btw).

Believe it or not, I was cruising down 161 Friday night to Bestbuy and had the same damned thought. Mine involved a tunnel through the middle of the car to direct the wind at the turbines. Turbines turn alternators, which charge batteries. No, I am not joking. Weird.

I wish I would have found that place before our purchase. I like quite a few of those. +bonus for local.

I'd rather run an M12... but that wasn't an option the OP gave.

After all these years with a big gear and only 3 speeds, I would invest the cash into the 4l60e... whatever it took to beef it up and get it mounted.

Way underpriced. Bores still good? How long ago was the work done?

Just bought one from Coconis in Zanesville, by Ashley Furniture. Loft over twin with stairs and drawers under stairs. VERY impressed with quality and ease-of-build. Not your typical pressboard junk.

How would you rate this against a Droid X (not X2).

This yours?

THIS WAS MY CAR!!!1111!!!!1 Since it was "Sam's" car. And....... ha. I probably know more than the next owner and this 20k wannabe. This thread has made my day, thanks.

Just chiming in on the S10 topic that's been beat into the ground. I've had 7 S10s and 3 S10 Blazers. Had 2.5, 2.2, 2.8, 4.3(vortec and non), and V8s. 2wd and 4wd. Lowered and lifted. Every one did what I bought them to do perfectly. Find a 4.3 w/ a 5speed and they are fun(ish).

You take care of your own, fool.

BTW, that quote has played through my head 100 times tonight. The beer was downed slightly more civilized than Mr. Austin. :fuckyeah:

Isn't it sad that we're almost numb to shit like this? http://www.cnn.com/2011/CRIME/08/07/ohio.shooting/index.html?hpt=hp_t2

Ohhhhhhh yeahhhhhh.

I didn't see the girl get hurt, only heard about the punching later from another witness. Last two times I stood up for girls getting hit, 1 -I was surrounded by 20 black guys at 2am and 2 - I got a busted tooth at Jamboree In the Hills. I think they're on their own at this point in my life. :gabe:

Some after thoughts. I have ALWAYS believed that anyone running their cock sucker that hard is not going to do shit. That theory has held true 10 times, but I am always worried about the one time that it won't. I looked around the parking lot to see if I would have any kind of help if this guy DID pull a weapon, and the only person I could see was the pimple-faced 15 year old employee collecting carts. Two people at my house also replied, "WTF, is this Reynoldsburg?" (for the previous poster). The two Pataskala cops (1 white 1 black, both BIG) smiled when they heard the car was pulled over, and told me, "we'll handle him from here." My first stop before Krogers and Advance Auto was to have the Tahoe washed. While talking to the cops, the thunderstorm opened up. Fucking dude owes my a wash and dry.

What. In the fuck. Are you drinking?

I also just realized that I would be a HORRIBLE concealed carry citizen. It would have been pulled as soon as he was 10' away.

Part II. After all of the initial "bs, I run my mouth bs, I run my mouth, all I know is running my mouth, mouth running"... He goes in the store. I pull away, park about 50' away. He comes back out, yelling at his "girlfriend", throws her in the Dynasty, and GET READY FOR IT... Beats the living daylights out of his own car. Punches windows out, kicks all panels, drops some 1980's WWF elbows on that fine Detroit metal. (Found out later he also punched his gf through the busted out window.) He walked away for a while, other Pataskalians asked her if she was ok, her reply was, "oh yeah, he just gets like this." He returned to threaten the people helping the girl. I was on the line with the Pataskala PD the whole time. Car left like a bat out of Hell East bound, and was eventually stopped on Rt 40. There is more to the story, but that's enough of the highlights. Kind of torn right now. Pre-wife and pre-kids, and a whole-lotta-cockier ago, I would have responded entirely different. But, maybe I just saved a girl's life tonight. Maybe that couple will keep beating each other up every night until they overdose? My Dad was fucking amazed that I laughed and kept walking (he witnessed more than one time where I didn't). Anyways...

So, CR brethren... At the Pataskala Kroger tonight getting cookout grub for good friends and my parents. Come out with my cart, first thing I see is... A 19-22 year old black male get out of his 80-something baby blue Dodge Dynasty, scream something at his white girlfriend, jump+kick a random Corolla, and punch his own car. He sees me staring, approaches me yelling every variant of "kracker, u aint got shit for me", "wtf u gonna do? nothing? dats right white fucker", fuck u, u nothing!" You have to get the picture right - 5' 9" 150lb, HUGE fro, pants falling, drunk/high/stupid on something, bouncing 5' in either direction the whole time. Head-down, white gf 2 paces back trying hard not to look up. What can I do? I laugh. He comes closer yapping something about slice and kill. Slice. FukkyouUP! Sooooo, you, being a 34 year old father of 2, with a pregnant wife and parents at home........ What do you do?

Duh. It can be vent, floor, combo vent/floor, it doesn't matter if the blower motor is on any position, the air is definitely A/C air, not just vent. The A/C button has the yellow LED. Whether that is on or off makes no difference. Confirmed today compressor is cycling even when A/C off (and not in defrost). Not a huge deal now, but I don't want to lose the mpg this Fall/Winter driving around all day with the compressor running.

So I noticed that even if the A/C button is off, if I run the vent it is ice cold air coming out. The A/C is on any time the fan is on. I searched the typical Tahoe / Yukon forums; found nothing. Besides unplugging the compressor, any ideas?
