Satty

Get a bike, it will save you a ton of headaches.

But I have absolutely no motivation. In my defense, I've already: --Moved my parts car to a secure location --Fixed the old Gateway laptop thats been sitting around for months, just needs a new battery --Programmed the new TV so the channel up/down buttons will actually do something

Great for roasting marshmallows.

Let's see, me and my immediate family have never owned a: Chevy Hummer GMC SAAB Geo Opel LaSalle Oakland (Mom had a Corsa in England)

LSD is the only excuse for that.

They still sell 323s? Is it still 1991? 'Cause if it is, I'm way too young to have this hair in my special place.

Eating Old Chicago made me want to grab a coat hanger and give myself a 97th trimester abortion, it was that awful. Anyways, the reason I dug this thread up is that I just got my ass chewed out for (very sarcastically) referring to Red Lobster as "fine dining." I'm not big on the seafood, so I dont go to RL unless I'm outnumbered in a group. But the food is always bland, the service is slow and the prices are high. I dont get why that place is always packed. Lately we've been cooking more at home, doing a lot of different stuff, and I've discovered a natural food market that is awesome. Also discovered that I like crab cakes.

Ahhhh...I haven't been forced to go to Alabama, which is good because I'd probably offend someone and get my ass kicked.

I cannot pretend that I understand the inner workings of Chrysler. This is a company with people who looked at the Caliber and thought, "Yes, people will buy this."

Well its been like 6 months and I'm still g lad the f@#king thing is gone.

I've probably been to that store. By now they all look alike.

I'm sure it seemed like a good idea at the time.

That yellow VW looks like a sweet (and quick) ride. Buy it and be careful.

That was a long time ago, and I usually ended up with a pretty good tip out of it.

Never what I really wanted.

......Nevermind, too easy

I like playing doctor. TMI?

Yeah, on the bright side, I should be able to recoup some of my expenses by selling all the extra stuff I'm not going to use. Or I'll keep an engine or two around as spares. Then there is always that glass-topped V8 coffee table I want to make....

I'd love to, but this project is getting pricey fast, plus I'm pretty sure the Quadrajet on the Donor-Olds will be just fine after a rebuild. Good enough to do what I need it to do. As long as the Cutty has been brought up in this thread, I was calling around looking for a few things and I found a 307 with a knock for $50, I needed an exhaust manifold, and the guy wouldn't sell me just the manifolds, so I bought the whole engine for less than what I needed would have cost me from a junkyard, and it has an almost new fuel pump on it!. But the engine came from a gorgeous Cutlass Supreme, I didn't ask what year, but it was in pristine condition. He hadn't put a new engine in it yet (I didn't ask what it was going to get) but thats going to be one hell of a ride when it gets done. For anyone keeping track, I now have 2 disassembled 307 blocks, one assembled engine, and one more that I can pull from a donor car.

Thanks, I'll keep it in mind. When I got the tailpipe put on, the guy suggested I do the cat soon. But since there is nothing flowing through it right now, and wont be for a while, I'll put it off, I have other priorities. Like figuring out how to get the dash apart to replace one of the bulbs and yank the radio. Ohhh...another bonus I just thought of, I'm pretty sure the telescoping antenna on the donor Olds works, which is sweet 'cause the one on the Buick is 91% gone. Only the base remains.

Part of me really wants to make a doggy-sack, put a realistic looking stuffed animal in it and drive around. None of our cars have running boards, so the sack would just fly around on corners.

They they still have the Playboy Channel? That one never made sense to me.

Let's be fair, who here hasn't stripped to their underwear and maneuvered near a U.S. Navy vessel? It seems like the type of thing many people on C&G would do if they were looking for a good time.
