  1. The snot on a Tundra is located inside the motor ...with the sludge.
  2. Never hurts to call....
  3. Why have you decided to not persue it, if you don't mind me asking?
  4. On a related note, as soon as I can afford a new Mac I just might to this to one of my PCs:
  5. Of all the trucks I've owned my 1991 Blazer S10 was my favorite by far! It was a 4.3, 5-speed manual trans. (shift on the floor) manual transfer case and I bought it for $600 with 104,000 miles. I drove that truck for about 18 months, racked up anoter 24,000 miles & did not break down once. I broke off several sets of tow hooks and finally got a pair off a GMC 3500, those never broke! I beat the hell out of that poor little S10, I drove it throught a metal gate once, almost rolled it over off roading on more than one occasion, jumped small hills with it, did burnouts in it, drove through snow banks & hit a few of those orange plastic barrels on the highway when some Peterbilt swerved to avoid them placed hap-hazzardly and I did not see it in time. I towed more than double what the truck was supposed to be capable of & on more than one occasion I towed demolition derby cars w/ it. When I made sharpnell & gear oil soup in my '68 Camaro's pumpkin I walked home and got my Blazer and off home I went to tow it home in my S10. I've got no beef what so ever with the S10 chassis/frame/mechanicals! Tthe only Blazer eXtreme that I saw built as a 5-speed was a 2002 (or 2003) that I found on the dealer locator computer. I think it was out in NY state. Blue w/ gold Z/28 stripes.
  6. I was about to insert a Villiage Bicycle joke here but maybe I'll leave the dead horse alone.
  7. eXtreme Blazers were cool. Little known fact: you could order a 2wd Blazer Extreme with a 5-speed... all the way to te end of production. Too bad they had none of the exotic turbocharged prowess of the GMC Typhoon they resembled.
  8. MILF
  9. The burgundy "stripe", Japanese style fender-mount mirror & luggage rack are all hideous! But damn that thing is original looking and from the photos it comes off wicked clean & rust free! I'd love to own that thing, I'd have the holes for the luggage rack & right hand mirror welded up and I'd have it repainted to get rid of that stupid stripe but otherwise not touch a thing.
  10. THANK YOU!!!
  11. You probably ate at Skip's Diner, right off of Exit 34 off 495. It looks quite a bit like an old school diner from the 1950s. Too bad they don't hold car shows or anything. Although we did see a MINT '67? Toyota 2000GT there recently. It had Maine plates and god damn it looked better than any other Toyota ever made. I would have traded my Super 88 for this little Jaguar E-type rippoff. Today's Toyota sucks so much just compared to what they used to make in the 1960s and 1970s... the 2000GT is a much cooler car than any Lexus ever made.
  12. Althouth it was just subconscious if anything I think my design came off as a lame imitation of the beautiful (2000?) LaCrosse concept car. The coolest four door hardtop concept of the 1990s & one of the coolest modern concepts cars of all time, second to the Cadillac SIXTEEN of course...
  13. Surbridge has been the location for several historic Tight Whips events of epic proportions. It's one of those strange places where nothing happens but you keep traveling out there over and over for all manner of strange reasons. In 2004 I bought my '86 Fleetwood Brougham in "Wales" (just outside of Sturbrigde) In 2005 I went to go take a look at some rotted out old demolition derby candidate down there and I got pretty lost. In 2006 me and XP were in my Q45 on a roadtrip back from CT & I got pulled over for speeding. My ticket was for 99mph in a 65 but the cop said I had really good reflexes because I slowd down awful quick. It was 1:00am and I had been doing about 125 when XP started screaming "COP! COP!! COP!!! COP!!!" like it meant life or death. I pulled over and stopped before the cop even put his lights on. He was super nice about the whole incident since I think even he knew that the conditions were such that there was NO ONE else on the road and I probably could have made a run for it. Not that I ever would but It takes an awful long time for a Crown Vic. to get up to 125mph just to keep up, and you are still not even over-taking the speeder by much as the Crown Vics top out at 130. A few weeks prior to this ticket I had a blowout in the Q45. It was the right-rear tire. I slowed down from 75, took an off ramp & drove over about 100' of groved pavement when the tire blew appart like someone took a 12-gauge shotgun to the sidewall. This also happened a few miles south of Sturbridge, on the CT side of I84. My last demolition derby car I got in Oct. 2006, (1986 Mercury Topaz GS 5-spd) came from a small town just north of Sturbridge. And now in 2007, just last week I looked at that '59 LeSabre on the border of Sturbridge Mass & CT. Here's a quick map: So there's a good chance when I eventually get a 1930s car it will probably be some beat up 1934 chevy that was daily driven untill 1976 and then parked in some barn that has its foundation half in Conn. & half in Sturbridge. And this is why Sturbridge is semi-famous. http://www.osv.org/
  14. disregard
  15. That's so much more official & elaborate than looking for random $hit on the side of the road & in people's front yerds like we're doing. Cool concept though, first time I'm hearing about it. Thanks.
  16. Exactly... plus there's several miles of defunct rail road within a stone's throw of my house here in the Merrimac Valley. There's a few miles of straight strack and then a break where the enterance to a fancy cul desac was paved over, plenty of opportunities to hop on the rails and have some fun. I bet Massachusetts is not the only state with lots of defunct rails littering once small towns that have built up an infrastructure of roads and closed the local rail road station for lack of interest.
  17. Just hammered this out durring the rerun of the "Mega Streisand" episode of S.P. The best looking Buick since the 71-72 Boat tails was the LaCrosse concept.
  18. Yeah, sorry to hear about this, that REALLY sucks!
  19. In my memory I remember it being a Bonnie, and of course it is not but I posted it when I was getting ready for my lunchbreak and I neglected to correct the model. Either way I'd LOVE to own this car.
  20. I've seen plenty of Asians driving Muscle Cars. My Friend Song is one of them.
  21. Geocaching? Never heard of it... fill us in C4U. sm-Chevy: I will do my best to get us some entertainment but torch girl is beyond my budget. Maybe I can afford a one legged prostitute with the clap to hold a bunsen burner. -------------------- ~Silvester AKA Chapman http://www.cheersandgears.com/forums/index...c=14872&hl=
  22. Computer troubles suck.
  23. Same can be said for the 4th gen. & 5th gen. Camaro. That's not so much an insult to the 2002 as it is a complement to the concept!
  24. G*d damn.... makes the "Power Tour" look like a run to Store 24 for a pack of smokes. That would be something amazing to tell your grandkids about!
  25. Still leaking like a faucet, have not even looked at the car since except to charge the battery... I have a guy coming by on Sat. to look at the car. back in the 1970s his first car was a 1964 Olds Ninety-Eight 4dr ht. later he blew the motor when he was in college and the car went to automotive heaven via a crusher. Now much older & wiser he wants another '64 Olds and I think my Super-88 might be the ONE. I told him I was a "motivated" seller and explained about the '59 Buick I want and my recent troubles w/ the Q45, in other words: I'm asking $5995 but throw out a reasonable offer and we'll meet in the middle.
