aux, you're a #####. :malebitchslap:

just thinking it might be cheaper... and a damn good excuse to buy one!

so i recently found out, much to my surprise and elation, that right around the 23rd of november i'll be a daddy again! my little girl's gonna get a baby one-or-the-other as a late b'day present! so it's two and done... anybody know if a dremel can be used to perform a vasectomy? AND.... i'm getting another z! i finally grew tired of not having one to drive... and not wanting to wait 3 yrs on my 260 led me looking. i found brad's turbo 240 in the classifieds here, and i should be picking it up (road trip!) on the 18th. so i'm thinking about ditching the tore-down 260 and concentrating my efforts on just doing a few things with the '72.... since it really doesn't need a hell of alot. intercooler, some 16" something or others, MORE BOOST and all the things that go along with it... i'm just hoping that this doesn't mean i'm kicked out of jackstand racing!!! if it means anything i'll ride with one in the hatch! so, that's roughly it... bob

zr8ed.... now that's a HARLEM booty if i've ever seen one! bet you've shown a few people that view...

i didn't have a tracker, but i had a suzuki swift, a geo metro but worse. what a godawful car that was. it brought my baby home from the hospital, but it wasn't good for much else.

wha... huh...uhhh.mmm.....WHOA!!!!!!!

i'm 100% in agreement on the superbowl fiasco. sports are supposed to be a family-safe environment and that demeaned the entire event. when i talked about the erosion of common sense, i did mean both sides of the coin.

...and to add something else... my town in new york is 20 minutes north of new paltz, where green party mayor jason west has been openly performing same-sex marriages under much hassle from state lawmakers. i for one feel honored to live near a politician with a grip on basic human equality and support his efforts to the highest. really, it's all the same issue... neo-puritanism and countless other agendas that negate the simple set of values on which this country was founded. no room for any non-linear thought, or non-conformist ways of life, just a broad-based plan to put us all into simple to read non-threatening categories. kind of frightening, don't you think?

the biggest societal erosion, in my opinion, is the long-lost theory of common sense, backed up by a very self-centered trend toward the few knowing what's best for many. the idea of tuning out to what offends is long gone... apparently all others should share the same levels of tolerance (or intolerance?) that drives those to try to sanitize the world we live in. personally, i agree with one's right to be offended, it's just as viable an emotion as any, and i find it hard to judge someone based simply on what they can or can't handle. but if this holds true, shouldn't these people who are so obsessed with social cleansing take some time out from being bothered by everything around them to realize that there are people out there with a different outlook than theirs, and that they have just as much of a right to that as they do to their own opinions? like george carlin once said, "don't these people realize that there are two knobs on the radio? or are they really that bothered by anything with two knobs sticking out of it?" along with freedom of speech comes freedom of choice. and any human being on this planet has the right to choose to avoid those situations that might offend them or conflict with their view of what is right or wrong. and it's not people like me standing in the way of people making that decision... it's themselves.

i'm the lucky winner of the "buy brad's turbo 240" sweepstakes! just waiting for my schedule to allow a trip to south carolina, hopefully in the next few weeks... yes my first drive in the new 240 will be halfway up the east coast! i'm in the market to unload my 260... i hope this doesn't mean i'm booted out of jackstand racing! i think i finally got sick of not having a z i could drive. call me a cheater... but does that really make me a terrible guy?

good to see you're still around... i was wondering what happened to you!!!

i think the king of this one might be dot, but you can't steal our members! that jag v12 has got to be an orca with pistons.... but damn what a sweet swap!

couldn't have said it better myself. i never expected just how much my life and my entire outlook on it would change. dan... !

hahahah!!!!!!! we're in sportz!!!... now how long till we get features on the finished projects?

that's some scary .... i just moved out of a neighborhood where for the first year or more after i moved there i'd hear gunshots at least every other night. after midnight i almost hated being in any non-interior part of the apartment, if you know what i mean . it's not a good feeling having first-hand knowledge that people are getting shot uncomfortably close to your home. ah, but now i moved... say what you want about a trailer park...( )... but at least it's quiet and i feel safe letting my kid outside.

so what do they charge you at the tollbooth?

that !!!!! couldn't come up with words.... the force is strong in that one...

that was killer!!!!!

just a couple for me... 94 saab 9000cse turbo... 155k miles, turbo not boosting but otherwise a great car (probably a 99 dollar hose).... came in very handy when i moved, beige/beige 5spd 97 jetta vr6 (when tax check comes in)...150k, prof maintained, bone stock for now ... black/black 5spd and there's always the 74 260 with 3 non-operational engines..

the 8's are like bmw hippopotami... 4100lbs before we sit in the seat but they drive like half the car. i only drove one of the 840's (v8) but what a ridiculous ride that was... i can only imagine what the v12's like!

an excerpt from an ill-advised career as a waiter.... half-dead looking old lady... "so what do you have?" idiot me in a fish shirt... "well, the lunch menu's on the back.." still old... "no, what kind of food do you serve here..." stunned... "well, you are in a Red Lobster, ma'am." senile... "so, do you have shrimp?" about to piss myself... "no, we're out today." rotting... "oh, *&!t. so what else..." had it... "i really hope you like chicken, ma'am." bad news for her was that we had fired our only decent grill cook the night before...

my z got blown past by a drunk roach in my father-in-law's garage last night.... JSR PRYDE!!!

nicely crafted ron!! it's all starting to come together!

i'm really not happy that my tax return's only going to be 4400. that'd look damn good in my new driveway! hmmm... ford 289 tripower, 1450lbs...

sounds like lifew is a good scene in the world of you! glad to hear things are working out... now when are you coming to new york?
