its inevitable for us all, and seems to happen all to soon,

had to make a smart a$$ remark here, I know its an old post, but my wife was asking about Be4U (Robert)
asked where that little "pecker head" was at?
I said I hadn't talked to him since he reached puberty.

need that ford lady to make more allegations, or maybe killary to off another snitch,
on another note, I picked up a 72 skylark, 430/ 2004r making a GSX clone, just finished front end/susp, all tubular A arms, disc brakes, pwr brks.
sent the interior out to be magically transformed into something nice,
looking at wheels, thinking 18 in ridlers, 5 spoke,
oh, just found out I'm 1/1000 indian, so where do I sign up for "indian casino" money?

I see some folks buying every known part, to increase HP.
way over built, not strength, but way to big of turbo, inj, cam, valve springs, and the list goes on.........why ? cause some one with no clue, told them to?
I actually like it, as down the road, at some point, they will sell off the car or parts, and I get a great deal on underused parts.
95% of these cars are street driven, yet have parts that are close to "race only" my big issue is valve springs, 99% have way to much spring pressure,
my we4 has oem heads, with big valves, and about 2 hrs on a flow bench, 206 cam, 60lb inj, and a 911 LU converter, and old school TA60. 11.51@117, and 24 mpg hiway, quiet, and as easy to drive as it was when new, it spends 99 % of its time on the street,
seems you just can not tell some folks facts, as they wanna hear fiction, it must be more entertaining.

are some tough sumbitches! the weather or what ever you call it, is not even in my vocabulary.
nowhere does it say 'negative" degrees, according to normal people.
seriously, no idea how you cope with those miserable temps, and all that white shit all over the ground, hope your all safe and warm (kinda)
oh, it was 72 here yesterday, but only 55 today as rain is forecast.

anyone else see the rise in entry fee's for car shows? here in Az $50 is the going rate, for 1 day show entry, if its a 2 day event, the cost increases, in speaking with some of my (cheapskate) buddy's, we have chosen to not pay. or participate , sad, as alot of these events are fund raisers, for good causes, but I question if all the funds are going to the charity? there is a large buick event in So Kalif, that for years, the organizer claimed it didn't make any money, yet he went gambling at a casino diirectly afterwards, ( with event $$? ) current mgr if that event charges NOTHING, and still has excess $$ from 50-50, raffle, etc. and attendance has doubled/ tripled . go figure!

it works great! in AZ, with temps of 100+ a/c on full blast, and temp gauge reads 180 all the time, fans cycle on and off,

I bought the ebay alum , 2 row rad, (about $120) added external trans (big!) and oil coolers, added dual fans, at 1st thought fans didn't work as never came on, using laser temp gun, showed temps to be under 160, all the time, so went with 180 stat, car NEVER gets warm, ever! my personal opinion....... . you can never cool a trans to much! yes, if its 20 below maybe, but if your on boost alot, as much rad, and trans cooler as you can fit.

I stopped doing the TB.com bull shit, when shane told me if I didn't like it, leave, then found it more calm to avoid all the hype, mis information, and plain lies, by many (trusted) people, LOL I find it more fun to do my own thing, OH, I research what I'm attempting, and find out the hard way (sometimes) stopped trying to make 23 zillion HP, and just make a enjoyable driver, white car is such a blast (2700lbs@500hp) so my point of all this dribble, let the BS'ers go on, just enjoy the trip your on.
OH I attend Bates nut farm, as friends live close by,
