  1. Thank you Wagner. I knew it was only a short time before him or his brother would get a picture up of the car.
  2. It can not be fast. Not all the wheels are touching the ground.
  3. You guys seperated as children?
  4. Guy is legit. I remember seeing his car go 10's with a Tremec close to around 10 years ago. I would say lay off him a bit. This is a internet forum and not the fucking IRS. I am sure he will up some pics when he or someone that can help him can.
  5. That is one thing that does bother me. To spend that much money on a car and not have a Tremec in it. I guess the key to getting the trans to live is getting one a handful of shifters. As far as normal driving I am not aware of any of the issues because I do not follow the cars on internetz. I would like to have the coyote down in a fox. If I did have one of the newer cars I think my first change would be to a trans with 4th gear as the 1:1 ratio.
  6. Details of what happened with the car.
  7. Guess you better get that Z Dover so you can start building.
  8. Not sure I am pissed about it. Just does not make sense. Now I know why the cost of shipping continues to go up. Increased fuel consumption in the vehicles in which it is traveling in along with the increased number of people to handling my package. Yes. I just said that.
  9. Cliffs. - I live in Columbus. So why did my package leave Columbus today at 4:20 am and go to Maumee at 8:05? Please educate me.

  11. S10 would light up the sky on westbelt. True Story.:fuckyeah:
  12. You have turned into a welding gansta.
  13. I had a gun pulled on me on several different occasions while working at the Auto Zone on the hilltop. It was the straw that broke the camels back for me. One guy had the whole side of his face blown off in the parking lot because he was messing with a woman of a local bar owner. That place is a joke.
  14. Not sure he could do Silent Night.
  15. Well put Tractor, I guess in the mean time we will continue to get both quality products and absolute junk from China.
  16. Yesterday I went to the hobby store with a friend of mine looking for some R/C car parts. I took a gander over at the model trains to see what kind of pricing and options Lionel had to offer. I still have a number of trains from when I was kid. They were manufactured in the United States. I knew I should have never looked on the packaging. It was a great disapointment to find "Made in China" on the box. In the last 6 months I have paying close attention to where things are made. I can not get over the number of electronics that were once made in Japan are now in China. I have to wonder how in the hell did we get ourselves in this mess. If we had never had all of this manufacturing go over seas would we actually feel it in the wallet for paying higher prices? Before you say yes did you ever stop and think that maybe we have too much for the income we have? Maybe would just have less wants and still have our needs met. I am guilty as anyone else. I have fleet of cars. The ones that I do drive only get a few hundred miles put on them a year with the exception of the beater I drive everyday. I also have a number of other wants that I do not need. I have them because I can afford them. I am wondering if the reason I can afford them is because of the lower prices that I pay for things that come from over seas. I do not see how we as a country can survive on sales jobs, and service alone. I realize that me posting this is not going to change a thing or bring any jobs back to the US. I really wonder one day if I will be worried about how I am going to get money for food instead of worrying what C6Z or GT500 I am going to buy. I can not see the "working" chinese continue to work for less then a dollar a day so that us lazy americans can have the latest IPhone or other high tech device when the one we already have does the job just fine. I feel very blessed to have a job (one that I have worked very hard to establish) that allows me to not have to live paycheck to paycheck or worry about how I am going to pay for needs. The one part that worries me most about my job is that I provide a service that is a want and not a need. I will be out of work way before a mechanic who does repairs to a vehicle so he or she and get to work. Makes me wonder if I should start planning for other sources of income just in case the day comes when people do not have the money for dynamometer and tuning services. I do not think that day is going to come tomorrow. However I see A LOT more credit cards in my business now along people who need to save up save up for some time to be able to get their car tuned. Makes wonder how many of these people when from making X amount of dollars a year at a manufacturing job and then had to take a pay cut in half working a dead in job after their previous employer moved across the waters. I do not claim to have all the answers. I think I may only have one answer to the many questions that need answered. Some way some how we need to get manufacturing back here in the states. All of these big shots that are at the top of their company will become broke like so many other people once the majority can no longer afford their product or service. I have a handful of connections over in Australia who are in the automotive performance industry. Their stories are all about the same. They have pulled out of the US market due to the mess we are in. One person who will renamed unamed from the land down under said that "We are a bunch of fucking idiots for letting China manufacturing into the US". Makes wonder how much truth is to that statment. Open for discussion.
  17. Just because you have not been the greatest employee in the past does not mean it has to be that way forever. Maybe it is time for a change. Keep being a good father. Step up and make a change for the woman. It sounds like she is worth it.
  18. Quoted for the fucking truth. Sounds like she does if she is willing to buy her own ring. I am not aware of your "work" situation. Sounds like you need to try and come up with some creative (and legal) ways of getting some income so you can surprise her.
  19. : Maybe you should have her propose to you. Problem solved.

  21. <----This guy was a little concerned how things were going to turn out. Foxbody mustangs do not stop the best in stock form. It's ok Thorne. I still have tuner love for you. :lolguy:
