COZY Z COLE

Done.... LARRY

Tim sold his Z car and hardly posts on here anymore. PM him your question and link this thread. LARRY

Your title doesn't match the posted subject. How about we change it to "Tips for modifying,upgrading, or restoring your Z car on a budget." If it generates enough ideas we'll sticky it... LARRY

I'll be number three .... Thanks. LARRY

I'm going to lock this thread. We've discussed this vendor enough..... LARRY

I'm at a loss for words, after all the negative feedback posts we've had about this vendor, anyone on this site would still link this site as a source for any part..... http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=113366 LARRY

Both of you step back and take a deep breath. English can be hard enough at times for people born in the USA let alone for it to be a second language. I think Blobber just misinterpted what you posted frank280zx and you now explained what you meant in a new way. All is good... LARRY

Judge #3 >> was an inexperienced Chili taster named Frank, who was visiting >> from >> Springfield, IL . >> >> Frank: "Recently, I was honored to be selected as a judge at a >> chili >> cook-off.

Amusing kick. >> Judge # 2 -- Nice, smooth tomato flavor. Very mild. >> Judge # 3 (Frank) -- Holy crap, what the heck is this stuff? You >> could remove dried paint from your driveway. Took me two beers to put the >> flames out. I hope that's the worst one. These Texans are crazy. >> >> CHILI # 2 - AUSTIN 'S AFTERBURNER CHILI >> Judge # 1 -- Smoky, with a hint of pork. Slight jalapeno tang. >> Judge # 2 -- Exciting BBQ flavor, needs more peppers to be taken >> seriously. >> Judge # 3 -- Keep this out of the reach of children. I'm not sure >> what I'm supposed to taste besides pain. I had to wave off two people who >> wanted to give me the Heimlich maneuver. They had to rush in more beer >> when they saw the look on my face. >> >> CHILI # 3 - FRED'S FAMOUS BURN DOWN THE BARN CHILI >> Judge # 1 -- Excellent firehouse chili. Great kick. >> Judge # 2 -- A bit salty, good use of peppers. >> Judge # 3 -- Call the EPA. I've located a uranium spill. My nose >> feels like I have been snorting Drano. Everyone knows the routine by now. >> Get me more beer before I ignite. Barmaid pounded me on the back, now my >> backbone is in the front part of my chest. I'm getting sh*t-faced from >> all of the beer. >> >> CHIL I # 4 - BUBBA'S BLACK MAGIC >> Judge # 1 -- Black bean chili with almost no spice. Disappointing. >> Judge # 2 -- Hint of lime in the black beans. Good side dish for >> fish or other mild foods, not much of a chili. >> Judge # 3 -- I felt something scraping across my tongue, but was >> unable to taste it. Is it possible to burn out taste buds? Sally, the >> beer maid, was standing behind me with fresh refills This 300 lb. woman >> is starting to look HOT ... just like this nuclear waste I'm eating! Is >> chili an aphrodisiac? >> >> CHILI # 5 - LISA'S LEGAL LIP REMOVER >> Judge # 1 -- Meaty, strong chili. Cayenne peppers freshly ground, >> adding considerable kick. Very impressive. >> Judge # 2 -- Chili using shredded beef, could use more tomato. Must >> admit the cayenne peppers make a strong statement. >> Judge # 3 -- My ears are ringing, sweat is pouring off my forehead >> and I can no longer focus my eyes. I farted, and four people behind me >> needed paramedics. The contestant seemed offended when I told her that >> her chili had given me brain damage. Sally saved my tongue from bleeding >> by >> pouring beer directly on it from the pitcher. I wonder if I'm >> burning my lips off. It really ticks me off that the other judges asked >> me to stop screaming. Screw them. >> >> CHILI # 6 - VERA'S VERY VEGETARIAN VARIETY >> Judge # 1 -- Thin yet bold vegetarian variety chili. Good balance >> of spices and peppers. >> Judge # 2 -- The best yet. Aggressive use of peppers, onions, >> garlic. Superb. >> Judge # 3 -- My intestines are now a straight pipe filled with >> gaseous, sulfuric flames. I crapped on myself when I farted, and I'm >> worried it will eat through the chair. No one seems inclined to stand >> behind me except that Sally. Can't feel my lips anymore. I need to wipe >> my butt with a snow >> cone. >> >> CHI LI # 7 - SUSAN'S SCREAMING SENSATION CHILI >> Judge # 1 -- A mediocre chili with too much reliance on canned >> peppers. >> Judge # 2 -- Ho hum, tastes as if the chef literally threw in a can >> of chili peppers at the last moment. **I should take note that I am >> worried about >> judge number 3.

If I need air, I'll just suck it in through the 4-inch >> hole in my stomach. >> >> CHILI # 8 - BIG TOM'S TOENAIL CURLING CHILI >> Judge # 1 -- The perfect ending, this is a nice blend chili. Not >> too bold but spicy enough to declare its existence. >> Judge # 2 - - This final entry is a good, balanced chili. Neither >> mild nor hot. Sorry to see that most of it was lost when Judge #3 >> farted, passed out, fell over and pulled the chili pot down on top of >> himself. Not sure if he's going to make it.
