Yes, that's the one! My nips are clearly Chinese in that picture.

Well duh. Don't you remember my nips before they were erased? If they're not a phenotypical indicator, I don't know what is!

Wow, that was so nice of him to teach you that. Dekalb.

If he didn't like it, why did he go out for wrestling? He had to have figured an opponent's fat scrotum would be pressed against his face at one time or another.

I give up. I will leave you alone. I have no explanation. Stew on. I'm over and out.

OK, well now I'm mad. I don't know why, I just am (folding arms).

How long have you had the car? If you've kept up the maintenance since you've had it, you cannot be blamed for the engine wear. It had to happen at the hands of previous owners. It sounds like lack of oil changes, or running it low on oil for a long time. I am not saying I am a mechanical expert, far from it, but these kinds of problems usually don't just happen on their own with a well-maintained engine, and a 3800 is a quality piece.

hehehe... "phenotypical indicators"... such an expensive choice of words.

I'm not picking on you, Nos. If the person before you never changed the oil, for example, that could drastically accelerate engine wear. And what does your owner's manual say about the rear end oil change interval? Hardly anyone ever pulls the pot cover and changes the oil back there (I'm talking about previous owners). When you took the engine apart, did you clean any of the internal parts? Maybe there's a connection between some worn parts being disassembled and cleaned and your sudden bearing noises.

Why do you say that with sarcasm, Croc? Tell us why Chicken's not Chinese.

Oh, here we go... again. Croc on a mensa trip. That last paragraph reeks.

Dude, I'm so into football right now. :AH-HA_wink:

Geez Vipes, please forgive my "voodoo doll ATV" comment in the "American Car" thread. I hadn't read this when I posted that. And please don't wreck your mother's car. And get your ass home on time. You could have gotten gas this morning. Stop f@#king up, or I will kick yo ass!

Viper, did you go to town on your ATV again? Bad boy! Tell me more about the cars in your above post.

I've made a voodoo doll to look like your ATV. And now I'm going to stick pins in all four tires./chat "evil laugh" sound effect

The knock didn't start until you guys took it apart, right? Did you hear any noises from the rear diff? You know these cars get used hard. Who can guess what kind of life it had before you got it... and by your posts, you weren't driving it like an old lady either. I certainly hope this guy can put the car back together for you and have it be reliable. It sucks to be without your car when all you want to do is drive it.

Well, I disagree on which family Cappuccino Frost belongs in. The drink is brown, not gray... but ANYHOO... GM has done this beige-to-gray thing before... Pewter was the same way, and the new Silver Birch is another.

Damn, the Charger is such a natural as a cop car. Tough!

Cool.

Don't you think cappuccino is a little more toward the brown side? That color reminded me of the frothy head on cocoa or cappuccino, white with a cream/brown cast to it.

Decka, the best time to remove your tape stripes is late on a hot, sunny afternoon. Heat softens them up considerably. Or you could use a hair dryer. Don't force them off, you might hurt your paint. Heat them up first.
