Camino, I could alway BUILD you a grill to go in it (see my 76)....if'n you want sir.

Well y'all I got some more. Two are of my wife, Amy, while she's still cooking Heather Anna, the other three are all me, with one of my favorite things.... First, the better pictures (the pregnant wife ones): Then me, with my Stephens (Savage Arms) Model 200 .30-06 bolt action rifle: Hope you will enjoy them, and I'll have to add some pictures of the little one once we have her.

You do realize as I read this, its 12:27 AM and I'm too wired to sleep. I'm not really worried that anything will happen, although I really don't want her to have the baby at the particular hospital she's at (the nursing staff just struck me the wrong way), so I'm hoping she comes home.

I'm sorry, but that THING is ugly! I looks nothing like the original FJ which I liked, that's just some bastardized satire shot of one....kinda like how Saint Nicolas evolved into Santa Claus.... I didn't like it when I first saw it, I don't like it now, and that's that.

all right ya'll. My burger recipe. 1-lb 100% angus beef, 1-ish lbs of sirlion (do the grinding of it myself), mix together, add pepper, salt, woresteshire, beer, thyme, oregano, and lawry's seasoning salt. Let that soak for 24 hours before cooking, then fire up the grill outside, charcoal only for burgers, gives the best smell to me. Grill to taste, once it comes out and is still juicy, hit it again with a little more lawry's. Buns normally lightly toasted on the grill just after the burgers come up. Add mulpitle slices of bacon to your heart's content, also add two or more slices of American cheese, followed by either Heinz 57 of some form of BBQ sauce. Before sitting down, make sure you've got a napkin, and beer, then turn on your favorite football or baseball game and enjoy.

I'll do my best, but won't make any promises. Really I need to be getting off to bed soon, I've probably got a long day ahead of me at the hospital and work, then back to the hospital.

91 Cavalier...Diamond in the Rough??

If you can't get the buick, this would be a good car. As far as parts go, you're looking really inexpensive for parts on one. They're really reliable little pieces of work. The valve cover gasket job would stop any oil from leaking OUT of the engine, however, if its got a lot of miles on it, I'd be wary of the valve stem seals leaking a little and letting it burn a little oil through the exhaust system. If you can drive it, get it out somewehere and stomp on it, watch for a puff of blue smoke from the tailpipe. Normally if there is, its probably burning a taste of oil. Nothing too major to worry about, but it will slowly lose engine oil if this continues. Although with that said, if it is burning oil, you're looking at yanking the head off and having it reworked (not a cheap job). But that's enough of my naysaying. Good luck with it. -
How much are Buick Regal T-Types worth?

Looks like a good ride. I'd go for it, at least you could inquire about it being there for so long. It not normal for someone to just up and leave a car at a shop unless either they can't pay for the repair at the time, or they just don't want it anymore. If its mechincally sound, I'd more than buy it simply becuase it would be reliable even if it LOOKED bad. Would more than definitely make a great sleeper if it were turboed. -
wrong part, right box....Boy haven't I ever had that one happen to me before. It sucks when you're a parts guy and you're staring at the box, triple checking to see if the part number right when the customer has the old one in hand and they don't look the same. Anyway, hope that she comes back better than new. I really hate that the curse struck you, but at least its being resolved.

Camino, if I had the money, I'd gladly take any one of those fine pieces of automotive artwork off your hands. I understand that financial times get rough sometimes, but keep the faith as best you can bud. And if you don't mind, I'm gonna drool at your cars some more.

Well y'all, its two weeks to go till I'm a dad. Right now the wife is in the hospital being monitored due to her blood pressure being higher than "normal" They're also looking at her urine to make sure she's not leaching protien (which means probably toximia (sp?), if they find an excessive amount, they're going to induce, if not, she'll come home tomorrow and we'll have to wait for the next thing to happen. Right now I'm just at home about to catch some Z's with hopes of going to work tomorrow and having her come home tomorrow night. I'll try to keep everyone on here informed, and if any of you are religious, the prayers wouldn't hurt. But for right now, that's about it.

I'm not sure if anyone else has either tried this, or knows about it, but you could buy a little dry ice and try to pop it out. I had an older paint&body guy that buys all his paint supplies from us tell me about using dry ice to pop out little dents and dings that would take too long to fix traditionally (this is also before PDR became REALLY popular).
-
I like it a lot, and just like everyone else said, just because it lost and inch here and an inch there in interior room, doesn't always mean it will "feel" less roomy. Not too sure about the 4-cyl in the LTZ package, but stranger things have happened. I'm really digging this car, can't wait till i see one on the road.

How old was it? I've fired several, from WWII orignal ones, to new, out-of-the-box GI spec ones, to heavily modified Kimber versions and they have all been pretty accurate with me.

Sorry I couldn't come in on this one sooner, but I do agree with the XD comment, they're wonderful guns, and they're in the running, and currently leading the competition for the replacement for the standard US military sidearm, replacing the Berretta M92 9-mm. I, for one will be happy to see a .45-caliber weapon going back into service with our military. (for one, they should have never stopped using the M1911A1)

I really like that setup with the instrument cluster. The console-mounted gauges are definitely cool, and bring back some definite styling cues from yesteryear. Just go ahead and start pumping them out already..... we're all waiting.....

I don't think it'll be too late. I am, however worried about the different dealers in the area slapping on HUGE premiums on the cars so that Joe Blow off the street, who wants a Camaro doesn't have to take out a second mortgage on his house to pay for it, you know? I know the car is going to be a hit, I show pictures of it at my job and there's always someone asking about the progress of the car. Its like watching kids in a candy store, their eyes glaze over and their mouths drop while looking at it. Kinda funny, but still, I think that the car will do well as long as its marketed at the right time.

I would have to go with the RS moniker for the "sport" models of certain vehicles. The Z idea would also work, if done right. a Z24 powered Cobalt would be fun, but so would an RS Cobalt. Maybe, just maybe, there could be a difference between the two, the more or less stock Cobalts with the larger engines get the Z moniker, meanwhile the ones with a tuned suspension get the RS designation, that would leave the full-out, supercharged, or turbocharged models of the Cobalt to get the SS label. Opinions?

Yeah, we got the recall notices in on our two Canyon delivery trucks on friday. Shouldn't be too big of a problem really, just replace the defective switch with the correct one, shoudln't take too long, although I know that sometimes people LOVE to take their sweet time.
