  1. Go find me a $250 parts car with a 671 please.
  2. When I think of all the porn I could have surfed during the hours wasted here...

  4. Looked at a Z06 there last fall. Advertised as GREAT shape. Way overpriced for its condition. So beat I didn't even test drive it. I would be cautious.
  5. True. Now, look up the previous 3 min wage increases.
  6. Min wage goes up, a lot of people have more money to spend in US stores. More tax money. Economical boost. This has to happen. You can't ask people to keep working for the same min salary for a decade as their cost of living rises each and every year.

    Bye Rumsfeld

    He's who we needed at the time. We'll see about his replacement.
  8. Damn folks. It has to go up sometime. Those of you near my age had a father making less than a dollar an hour as min. wage in the late 50's. As the cost of EVERYTHING has been going up, min wage has not. It had to balance out sooner or later. We are now at LATER. It fucked some people. It helped others. NOTHING will ever satisfy every class of voters EVERY election.
  9. Ha, what happened to this thread? The Ranger is staying 100% stock under the hood. This is strictly for a 30mpg daily driver. I already have a "quick" mini truck. Yes, I still have the Ram and the bike. The Ram has very few miles on it; I'm going to try and keep it that way. Probably sell the Ranger off next Summer.
  10. I have had this thing up to AT LEAST 70mph. I got scared though, and had to let out... http://nurkvinny.com/images/Vehicles/Trucks/2003%20Ranger/DSC00046.JPG Seriously though, if anyone knows where there are some nice Ranger interior parts for sale, let me know. This thing has a 100% plastic interior. A cloth seat and carpet would be nice. It's an '03, if that matters for interior pieces. And, if you didn't guess, it's a 2.3 / 5 speed... quite possibly the SLOWEST damn thing I have ever sat in. 80 miles so far, and the gas gauge still reads full. Ex-Orkin trucks FTW.
  11. Thanks for the info. Ended up buying a truck yesterday, though. Free bump for you.
  12. What year is it and what is the mileage?
  13. I bought mine from one of those traveling tool shows at the fairgrounds. Ebay probably has a few, but shipping would suck. Search craigslist yet?
  14. Video of engine when it was tuned well, the day I finished it. Right click + save as - http://nurkvinny.com/images/Vehicles/Trucks/1985_S10/ZZ%20MOV00018.MPG Great pump gas engine. The machine work, rings, bearings, and freeze plugs were my college grad present. The assembly from there up was by me (hope that doesn't scare people away ). I really feel all this thing needs is a smaller carb and a couple hours of tuning. Good luck on the sale man.
  15. Sold, $16,000 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/800-HP-Turbo-LS6-Formula-True-Streetcar-Rare-NR_W0QQitemZ330040362737QQihZ014QQcategoryZ6427QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem#ebayphotohosting

  17. The new house has a tankless water heater. I didn't figure out what was causing it at my old house until I was ready to move.
  18. Folks, it's just the mileage. Private party value w/ 60,000 miles- 30,800 for Excellent 28,800 for Good
  19. 60,000 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/04-Corvette-ZO6-SILVER-METALLIC-6SPEED-MANUAL_W0QQitemZ180043589627QQihZ008QQcategoryZ6168QQtcZphotoQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
  20. You must list your asking price; no "make offers" per forum rules. Thanks.
  21. Your heater pilot going out was most likely from the 40+ mph winds yesterday. I wouldn't give up on it yet.
