The JTR radiator works awsome with a Flex-a-lite 180. It was 100+ here last week and It never even thought about creeping over the setpoint when the fans kicks in. It's like when the fan kicks in the needle stops and doesn't move even on idle, stop and go, and heavy acceleration. Shouldn't it work this well though?

I am really Jonesing for some white cheddar organic cheetos right about now... why?

Come on, Blondes aren't that dumb... she'd have figured it out when she plugged in the ear phones.

Pain, injury, that's all fine, but because I didn't fix it the first two times makes me feel really angry at myself. and in punishment I have forced myself to drive my 1990 240D Volvo until I fix the exhaust tip. And I stuffed the end of a big box over the tip. It's been 4 days and no infection yet. *fingers crossed* *knock on wood* I have never had an infection, I don't know what it's like or why it needs hospitol attention, but it doesn't sound too good especailly when the bix of bandages says, "draining wound". That just doesn't sound pleasant. I didn't see any honeycomb, it must have not been entirely through the skin. It's not in pain, but it's not numb either. It feels like a bruze. I'm 31 and I have no back injury, although by all rights I guess I should have by now. I'm feeling awfully lucky now. I do work out 3 days a week, that might help.

I must be stupid, even though i had a nice set of two scars on my leg from that sharper then it had to be exhaust tip, I again, gashed my leg and this time it ripped about a 2" gash with about a 1" flap of skin hanging down. It was so bad I contemplated getting stiches. I didn't take pictures sorry. I have gauze and bandage wrapping it and it didn't hurt even a little the whole time. It must have really cut all the nerves there. It looks so angry, I just packed the open ozzing bloody wound with neosporin and have kept it wrapped since Saturday. I basically scapled my leg in the shape of a nike "swoosh" "swish?". That'll leave a mark. Needless to say I am finally going to file round and polish the edge so it can't rip through skin anymore. I was just walking by! B*tch!

Saturday it was 99, which was 14 degrees above the record set in 1960. It felt hotter than I remember it had ever been and turns out it nearly was. But still 99 wasn't all that bad after my cloathes were soaked with sweat it was quite comfortable with a slight breeze. I was welding up the headers on my truck, took me 5 hours because I could only do about 1/2" of welding before I had to take off my welding jacket and stand in front of the fan. I almost welded shirtless but thought better of it since little bits of metal are sometimes flying around and I didn't want a sunburn from the weld. I did take a walk on the wild side a bit and welded in shorts instead of protective pants. Dang FORDS, I had to remove the motor mount and frame on the pass side to get the headers on, and remove the break lines to get it in on the drivers side. What a pain in the ARSE! It's like 74 now. Feels cold.

I've driven almost 8k so far since October last year. Put about 220 miles per week when it's not being upgraded, tweaked, or in a state of dissassembly.

Don't drive in the Yukon Territory then. Sign says, "Gas, lodging, diner 50km" Smaller sign below says, "Gas ->" pointing to a dirt road. (who am I kidding it was mostly dirt roads) 50km later on the main road I find an abandoned gas station and a sign that says, "no services 100km". So I went back 50km!!! and got gas in some dude's back yard, he would only accept cash and charged by $1.30 per litre for 25 litres. Other than the cost at the time 1997, the only other issue was my car would only hold 20 litres. After that I stopped pretty much at any station I saw and still almost ran out once. Lesson: when driving to Alaska DON'T take the "scenic" route. Scenic = No services, cranky Canadians, crappy cabin shaped grocery stores with expired food, and roads which had ruts deeper than the height of my tires.

Buy another one, that has good parts where yours were bad and make one really solid car out of the two. Probably your cheapest option. Otherwise enjoy it.

I can't wait till all the emails I get will look just like this post. OMG plZ~!

I entered a Zen state of higher consiousness every time I worked on the Z. I don't remember the hours upon hours of toiling, I was able to redirect my memories in a lucid dreamlike state and replace those many many many hours of knuckle banging, metal shard cutting, hot solder burning, gasoline in the eyes moments with playing with puppies, eating fresh chocholate chip cookies, the warm lazy feeling of waking up on a saturday morning with nothing to do, and the feel of fresh crisp twenties as they are rubbed togeather or counted .... ...I wish. Actually my wife is alergic to dogs, I am on the Atkins diet, I can't seem to sleep late anymore, or have any free time, and if I had two twenties to rub together I'd buy a new speedo guage. But when I think about it... It's almost as good.

My Volvo has 199,000, it still looks new and the only dent it has I caused when I backed my F250 into it. Just a small ding really, oh and busted blinker.

Scam? Yeah, paypal me 132,601 and no, I have no history.

Yeah that happened to me, I went to the trouble of rebuilding the starter before I realized it was the ground. then (different car) I replaced the battery and found (after the second time of getting "0" volts that the positive terminal would not tighten, the bolt would bottom out and the clamp would barely grip the terminal, a good bump and it would come off. I didn't know because the first thing I did was loosen the terminal, them remove, untill I realized the terminal would pop off without loosening the nut. I know you think it's over, but get new cables maybe next time this happens.

You'd think in 2006, by this time, anyone would know that pocket protectors are a social faux pas. Yet there are still a few people, who understand the error of their ways and still feel justified to wear a "pocket protector". If you could even find a store to sell you one, wearing one is setting yourself up for social disgrace, mockery and general derision from co-workers, friends, and family. To that end, even if the pocket protector is scorned in and of itself, the function of a pocket protector should be examined for need in today’s society. A person I am acquaintanced with, who shall remain nameless, still wears one and swears by them, after examining the said "protector" I noted to him that the corners of the device had holes (worn). Which if the said writing instrument or other ink filled apparatus was to burst, rupture, or spill it's potentially hazardous fluid into this protector it would still find a path to shame and humiliation. To this he responded that he could not find a replacement for several years perhaps even decades, and the one he carries he used in college which was no doubt before I was even born. Personally I would never wear a writing device. The closest I've come is to put a pen in my wallet, or a pencil in my pocket calendar. It may be necessary to carry a writing device with you, but pocket protectors (especially non-functional ones) should be rejected in all fashion conscious situations. Now that we have such luxuries as Cell phone/PDAs combos, the need to carry a pen should fade to point of needing to carry a change purse, a slide rule, or a pager.

Pocket protectors just don't work suffieciently.

Oh, that's totally different. Do you have the Mp3 for "Fish Heads Fish Heads Rolly Polly Fish heads?

Ditto, it's ain't all that bad really. Can I count hours on the computer at home? Then more like 80/week. Wow, I'm tired now.

I wonder if they tried to sell it for 100k 'cause it cost them 100k? Can you imagine? But when you're done' China will buy one and have them for sale for 1/10th the cost in 6 months. Sad but true.

If I'm n A-hole, what's this?

I would rather have had him caught and held in a prison for the rest of his life. Why should he get off that easy? At least shoot him in the stomach and keep him alive long enough to starve to death. We can kill but NOT torture? What's up with that?

I bet she was fat, poor, wearing a mumu, and don't forget ugly. I just can't picture Paris Hilton behaving that way. What has this world come to? No offence to fat, poor, and/or ugly people.

A V-8 will do very nicely in there.
