  1. well i meant. that obviously the block will wick the heat away faster if it has air moving around it , i was talking more like a an idle warmup cycle, compared to a driving warmup cycle, but if it was slow driving it could apply to that too.
  2. so no update to the 2.4 is seen on this pic? the "lap"..?... gonnna "fully update " it then? on the other forums, someone guessing the lap2.2 could be the hybrid engine option...?
  3. and potentially let it warm up faster in the winter
  4. sorry, as a missourian myself i have to be happy for the cardinals.... to bad the mets are in the national league
  5. haven't played it in a long time (4 years?), it's a sport that if you take seriously , the only competition is yourself, and if it's for fun... well it's for fun.. i liked playing it when i did... prolly still would. just a reason to get away from the "town" and out to a quieter area, walk and swing clubs at balls
  6. they are pretty funny, and kinda a tribute when people actually respected the driver and thier car
  7. forgot when the date was, had to look again.... YAY!!! almost a month away til we get to see the real thing prolly have a media.gm announcement at midnight (morning) on the 28th.... right?
  8. throttle in my 99 monte 3.1L isn't electronic, but it'll stay in 4th down to ~33mph under at least 1/4 pedal but won't shift down to 4th till 40mph... i think that's kinda wierd yeah, "learning" is fine ... for people that don't know how to modulate the throttle well, or have lost that ability but can still drive.
  9. that' s just hilarious
  10. unless the turbo's were mounted inplace of the mufflers. like some aftermarket is doing
  11. hope you had a great day YJ
  12. oh i know... but had to put something real in this topic that's about gays (guys and gals) and people that aren't nessisarilly comfortable about thier gender or sexuality ......
  13. if this is true, hope fully it's not a "corvette" corvair would be better not because of it's history,as far as i know, but kinda a play on words... in the air of a corvette i don't know!!!!! but if it is true... then it'd be great to have something in the weight to HP range of the vette, but smaller... eh?
  14. anyone have insider information on what the next revised engine announce ment will be? the last 2 have been the 3.6L V6 getting DI and before that was the.... 3.9L AFM or the 2.0L turbo DI. right? will the next be an ecotec update? an LSx engine, or something else?
  15. don't go w/ sony, the battery issues they and dell had are from sony... and they knew about it w/o telling people until lots of people had them burn.
  16. a friend has a toshiba ... pretty much brand new, core duo widescreen... not sure how much it was, but overall very nice i'd not go with dell, unless you have to have thier warranty and such...?
  17. 2005 Buick LaCrosse CXS - 3.6l, leather, Stabilitrak, 72 miles this seems insane to me.... possibly sat on a lot for 2 years allready.... WOW! or at least that it's only been moved 72 miles so far
  18. a friend got at least $4k out of a convertible cavilier ~96? that supposedly was not mechanically well... dying, not starting(prolly key related) and other things. she did by a new corrola... so .... it's funny she got that much out of it
  19. i thought it's been thoughroly(?) discussed and most likely MY '10 or CY '10
  20. what band was geoff tate in? and what about Rodeny James Dio?! i have a friend that believes he wants a sex change at some time.... he only will talk to one friend out of 4 total about it outside of his parents and friends he talks to online and phone (not w/i a few hours drive). kinda frustrating that he hides that from me and 2 other guys, pretty much refuses to talk to us. we kinda think he's gone overboard and thought it's something he has to do, not that it would make him actually happy after he did that. sorry if that's confusing....
  21. i know... but if they lower thier prices, either everyone else has to raise prices to compensate (for the RIAA), or lower them somewhat to be competitive...if walmart stopped selling music, RIAA would just spin it to thier side saying downloading music has hurt the industry.... in some fashion
  22. wal-mart is trying to lower CD prices. "clicky" i sure hope the worst happens for the RIAA ....
  23. i think it has to do with air/ fuel and if it's calibrated right or not...if your putting in tons more gas than should be in the combustion chamber it won't acceralte as well as if its close to WOT v. just WOT... wasting gas and therefor energy if all of it can't be combusted well.make sense? i only floor it if i want to screech my tires... other wise a progress way to push the throttle should be better for 0-60 times... i would guess it also can throw off HP numbers if less fuel could produce more power lower in the rpms.. say <3000.
