  2. Are you trying to troubleshoot an issue, or just double check everything you have done? Which engine? Single 4 barrel? I'd like to hear some details. P.S. I love carbs.
  3. This is VERY graphic. Not like a woman taking a shit or a kid nadding himself on an armrail. REAL graphic. This is a small example of what was common place in Iraq. Motive for war? Oil? Parental revenge? Re-election? Doesn't matter. This 'leader' is out of power. That is what matters. Again, very graphic. ehowa.com will have more 'episodes' later this week. http://ehowa.com/showmovie.shtml?movie=saddamtorture1.wmv EDIT - copy link into new window. EDIT #2 - Although I figured the 4 warnings above were enough, this video shows real torture being handed out to men under Saddam. It is an 11 on a 1-10 graphic scale.
  4. Hmm. April 1st. Interesting. http://www.orlandosentinel.com/classified/automotive/orl-nuts0206mar02,0,5611100.story?coll=orl-automotive-headlines
  5. Greg, I feel the EXACT same way about TW. My wife was renting a lot of movies every month from a small video store that had 5 movies for 5 days for $5. Figured I'd get the HBOs, Cinemaxes, Showtimes for her and it would be a wash (and 24x7 on demand bigscreen semi-porn was cool for a week). TW lied about getting 2 free digital boxes with the agreement (5.95 x2 per month), took FOREVER to bury the damn line in my yard, and has raised their price 3 times since August (small raises, but still). My house came with a Dish Network satellite, but satellite internet blows IMO. I too feel stuck. I am in the boonies, and TW and satellite are my ONLY choices. About ready to drop to basic cable. I don't have a home phone either.
  6. Free bump for great headers (had them on 3 S10s) One tube runs outside the frame, through the wheelwell on each side. If you meant where are the collectors... they are inside the frame.
  7. I will bring that up. http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/showthread.php?t=21768&highlight=links http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/showthread.php?t=20462&highlight=links http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/showthread.php?t=20257&highlight=links http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/showthread.php?t=18078&highlight=links http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2169&highlight=links
  8. Loans are handed out everyday.
  9. This has came up dozens of time. No big deal if you didn't know the rule. Just please follow it in the future. No need for someone to accidently click a thread and get fired b/c some tits were on their monitor. Thanks.
  10. Links to NWS pics only. Please edit.
  11. FYI Dad just got 3 185/60's in. 60-70% tread. $15 each.

    Help Wanted

    Can you imagine anyone under 30 applying for a job like this? HELP WANTED Entry level position. Starts $8 per hour. Primarily we clean roofs and gutters, power-wash and trim trees. Looking for someone who is not allergic to sweat. Must be able to work without a coffee cup in one hand and a cigarette in the other. Must understand that it’s OK for the boss to make a profit. Must understand company vehicles are not to be used for crash tests and are not receptacles for your personal trash. Must own and know how to operate an alarm clock. Must not request more days off than the boss. Must not ask the boss for a raise if you’ve turned down overtime. Must understand that opening day of fishing and hunting season are not considered automatic days off. If you think it’s OK to be late to work, I’m sure you won’t mind if your paycheck is late also. Having your wife or your girlfriend call for you about this job, does not demonstrate that you have good delegating skills. If you’ve had more jobs than you can remember in the past year, don’t call to brag about how many trades you know. If you take company tools and supplies home but never return them, do not apply. If you like to work a couple of months and collect unemployment the rest of the year, do not apply. If you only believe in taking a shower, dressing decent and brushing your teeth on the day you apply for this job, do not apply. If most of your work experience is making license plates we are not authorized to make or sell them. If you always seem so much smarter than the people you work for, start your own darned business.
  14. NWS, since it's from ehowa.com http://ehowa.com/features/fordgt500crash.shtml
  15. I am bored. A thread about funny, odd, idiotic, or gross car repair stories could get interesting. A couple quickies. An elderly lady in her 80's pulled up outside our first bay. She got out and told us a story about how she THINKS she just ran over SOMETHING SMALL on her way to the grocery store. This is middle of summer, probably 85-90 degrees. We had both bays full, so we had her wait until we had an open lift... maybe 20 minutes. Another mechanic is driving the car up on the rack, me guiding him. I think I see something stuck to the front skidplate. Hmm. We put the car up in the air. We stop. We stare. We make all the guys come over. We stare. Jammed into EVERY possible area of her car's undercarriage is what looks like raw T-bone steaks and chunks of a racoon skin hat. Where there aren't 12oz chunks of meat, there is blood. This woman ran over a live, FULL sized dog and drug it who knows how far. We spent an hour with brooms, hoses, and a snow shovel picking pieces of dog out of this woman's car. We sent her to the full serve carwash; she came back; we picked some more shit out of the car. Fun day. --------- Different day, another old woman. Driving an early 80's Grand Prix stopped in and said her car started ok, but just didn't sound right. I went out and started it. Smoke, and I mean SMOKE was pouring out the exhaust. I think, "neat, blown head gasket." Pull it inside; ask her is she checks her coolant and oil frequently. She says, and I quote: "I sure do! I just added oil last night." "How much was it low when you added oil?" "Like 6 or so quarts." FYI. An early 80's Grand Prix holds a MAX of 5 quarts, probably 4.5 with the small filter. "So, you added 6 quarts.!?!?" "Yup, until I saw it in that fill hole." She filled the oil until it oozed out of the valve cover fill tube. We drained almost 2 gallons of oil out, let it run for 10 minutes, and as far as I know, it ran for years.
  16. Only thing close are (3) 195-70-14s. No where close to 80% tread though, but they have some life. $10 each or $25 for all 3 (I know 3 is an odd quantity )
  17. Isn't that funny? In the GTP or in my wife's Stratus, I'll get cut off or someone will pull out in front of me. Rarely happens in the Ram.
  18. When you find out what sizes, let me know. I have access to a ton of used tires.
  19. I have some random plastic interior pieces, the shelf/bin thing under the rear seat, chrome running boards, and maybe a stock chrome front bumper. Let me look when I am at my parents again.
  20. That isn't a LASER!!! I wanted to see a bull explode.
