Sooooo close... stil no cigar

We had a good laugh about the FWD plate when I visited Camino in early November. He drove it down to Carrabas when we had dinner with BBL and his G/F. Made me so damn jelaous. But as OCNBLU later commented I did "recipricate" and give Camino a thrilling ride in my very rare and exotic Datsun. Almost as cool as his Maserati BiTurbo. [/smartass-sarcasm] Good post Camino.

I love having pissing contests over who in the campground will have the biggest fire. Rock on buddy.

The next official ride of the Bling-Bling community. Love that grill but do not like the below the base of the windshield engine placement. I thouhgt we had all mutually decided taht was a bad idea when the 4th gen. F-bodys needed the #7 + 8 spark plugs changed.

Never been to Mardi Gras and probably never will... but what gives you the right to assume that I have indulged in it? You argument does not hold water IMHO, but that aside you're assuming I'm somehow a particiapant in the cities festival based on what? I wish I had had a chance to see the historic city before the flood dstroyed it. And if I lived there and the flood had destroyed my home I'd get the F out. Not with a DVD player under my arm but with a backpack full of food. Sell the electroinics? to whom? The large-mouth Bass swiming between their ankles? C-mon, let's get real. And shoting at news helicopters was out of self defense? WTF? one more thing: I'd be willing to bet my life that most of the peoeple flashing their (boobs) durring Mardi Gras are outsiders NOT locals. Maybe I'll buy some Girls Gone Wild DVDs and do some research and get back to you on that one.

I'm with Purdue. When I had to replace the blown TH350 in my Camaro I wore my '63 Split Window T-shirt. About 0.03 sec. after I tilted the Trans down enough to get it out and onto the jackstand the tail gushed red fluid all over the front of my shirt and face. About 20 washes later the damn t-shirt was still "ATF pink". The trans was blown due to a lack of fluid so how ironic that I got about 3 quarts spilled on myself when removing it. That was not even the worst part of doign a trans swap in a dirt/gravel driveway in the midle of a rainy April. Damn I need a garage!

Looks like an Aveo after about 12 more plastic surgeries than Michael Jackson has had. (read: Grotesque)

Either #1 + 8 or # 2 + 7... I forget exactly but the siamesed exhaust valves were kitty cornered. Evolve? ummm.... I'm thinking but nothing is happening. EDIT: Do you mean for packaging reasons because of the length of the inline sixes?

well, here's just a few off the top of my head: motor mounts, flywheel, water pump, harmonic balancer, thermostat, fuel pump (if mechanical), oil filter, oil pump, carb/tbi or fuel injectors, distributor shaft, bearing caps, pulleys, alternator... The rods would be "interchangable" but this would alter the displacement of the 350/262 if they were from the 305 or vice versa as the stroke is different... and the crank would be interchangable fron the 305-to-350 and V.V.

... didn't even have to use my A.K. Okay seriously. We stopped by at Marcia's Grandmother's house and when we were leaving Sofia blew a kiss to Gram in that cute two-year-old-angel kind of way. Gram said she reminded her of the girl (back in the day) who used to blow a kiss at the end of some variety show right after she sang the "See the USA in your Chevrolet". Call me crazy but that made my day. Gram & Gramps (who is now in a home due to his Altzheimer's ) have owned several cars from Chevrolet over the years. As a matter of fact Gram says besides the 1996 Grand Marquis and two late 50s Plymouths they always had Chevrolets. Several Biscaynes/Impalas and then a whole string of Monte Carlos. BTW: Gram learned to drive on a late 30s Packard with 3-on-the-tree. So anyway then later in the day I get my Monte Carlo poster from Cort (Knightfan) with his '87 LS pictured. And as if that was not cool enough also in the mail was a super cool package from MightyMouse. NOt just one but two Camaro concept posters (one already hanging up on my wall) a very cool G6 RHT brochure and a GTO-R poster. Thanks again guys.

Brazil

Front engined, four motor, 4wd dragsters.

Pistons, valves/valve springs, main bearings, pushrods, sparkplugs.... I'm drawing a blank but there has to be more.

Worth a click... :wink: http://www.buicks.net/misc/tommy_ivo.html

Cool. Free is free.

The Blood Countess

Lance: You make a few good points in your post but here's the hard facts: Looting for food? Understandable. Survival instincts kicking in, you do what you have to in order to eat and stay alive. Looting for electronics, "bling" or just for the sake of destruction? C'mon now. If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck... Shooting at Rescue Workers who are trying to save you? Dispicable

Sooo sick of Quicktime Plugin error messages. I hate computers. Esp. non-Mac/Apple ones.

Afterburner

Umm... I think they did it for several decades before the Taurus existed.

I'm taking a wild stab in the dark here: 1. 14,700 2. 4,350 lbs. EDIT: way off on production # but almost "close" on weight.

Wow, that sounds like a really cool Reality Show... Send Ammo, ex-military gun surplus, WWII era flack jackets, tons of live feed cameras and a few fan boats down there and let the fun begin.
