    Welcome to the IHoP

    Ford v6 or Buick v6? The Ford 3.8 is pretty much a copy of the Buick 3.8. No offense, but not even close. The 3.8 Ford is a terribly unreliable motor. The 3.8 Buick is, by all accounts, one of the most reliable gasoline engines of all time. The Buick 3.8 is very reliable, I will agree with you there having owned several myself. I will disagree with you on the reliability of the Ford 3.8, again having owned several myself, with two of them nearing 300K and never doing anything than routine maintenance. As for them being alike, there was an article in Popular Hot Rodding many moons ago about this and they had drawings showing the architecture of both and a former Ford engineer comfirming they had pretty much copied the Buick. I will attempt to find this when I have some time. Head gaskets: https://www.google.com/search?q=ford+3.8+liter+head+gaskets&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a Bent connecting rods: https://www.google.com/search?q=ford+3.8+liter+bent+connecting+rods&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a I can appreciate that you, and many people you may have known have owned them and been happy with them, but I saw at least a couple hundred head gasket failures and bent connecting rods on these cars/vans. By contrast, I have had to replace 1 stock 3800 Buick motor (and it was so terribly sludged up due to lack of maintenance that the crankshaft had sliced slots in the sludge caked in the pan) and never saw another one done. I bet I haven't seen 5 head gaskets blown on them. Now, they do have their issues, I won't deny that. But with regards to major internals, no issues. I was stunned when I tore the rod out of my first 3.8 Ford. The I beam was tiny, no wonder it pretzeled. I am actually surprised I have not seen more bent then I have,

    FWIW, I would steer clear of the Ecoboost. Until the manufacturers (I am not just bagging on Ford here, either) get the issues with direct injection figured out, it should scare you, as a consumer, away.

    Ford v6 or Buick v6? Buick. And you forgot about the GMC Turbo 6. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6iILmeORbV4

    You guys are all crazy. I'll put my little Turbo 6 up against any V8 or V10 and stomp the hell out of it.

    This from a guy who was proposing to hit women earlier...including the one you speak of. Your perception of reality is a bit odd to say the least. I was thinking the same thing. Perhaps we are both angry. Bummer, dude. But the good thing is you know what it is, and you can control it. You prick.

    WTF it showed it as one continuous long page. Wanted to cleanse the page of that awfulness. Sniff, sniff... lick...

    In that situation the man has no need to "fight", just has to push the woman away. Shouldn't take more than a flick of the wrist. Seriously. 99% of the time there isn't any reason to throw a punch when one can simply just grab her, and throw her out. A few feeble hits from her during the process isn't something I would consider justifying for: "You hit me, I'm going to hit you back." Indeed, sir.

    Seriously? If you hit a woman you are basically a piece of shit. Nope, they have fought so hard for equal rights. They should be treated just the same as a man. If one wants physicality, they shall get it. Now, there is a line that can be crossed, and it is up to each individual to draw the line. Do you know any woman who picketed and fights for equal rights? Then you shouldn't hit one. I sure do and I know several feminists now. They would actually agree with me. Gender does not matter when it comes to violence. If you strike someone else, you should be ready to be striken yourself. The ONLY exception would be children. Now of course I don't expect a man two times the size of a woman to be fighting with her, that's just assinine. . . Unless she's emdangering his life of course. Sorry about that. I don't think I have ever met one. Gender does matter. Women are simply not built like a man. If a woman hits me, I'll just stop her from doing so. With my size and strength it isn't that hard to do. The only time I'll hit a woman is if she likes her ass smacked

If you hit a woman you are basically a piece of shit. my wife hit me one time about 10yrs ago, i hit her back and told her exactly that. we have never had a physical altercation since. Well then, you know what I think of you.

    6 sold for ~$86. I bet they ran out of inventory and edited the price to prevent issues.

    Does she have a hand? Not sure, and it is slightly photoshopped (not by me) because she does have titty showing. The actual NSFW image is here: http://www.imagebam.com/image/2b851e215009735
