    Every time I beat on my Chevy something breaks. Wasn't that way with the ole F150.

    too heavy and refined with an 8500rpm revving v8 though...

    You'd say the quality of their internals is good, though? The guy I bought my desktop from had a 40GB Barracuda in it, never really used it since my main drive now is a 250gig WD with XP... By far the best. You name a big brand, I have been in their R&D facilities and Seagate's trumps them all by a lot.

    Funny too, if you take apart a Seagate 500gb and then the competition the Seagate will have half the platters. Wonder how they get to 1TB

    New car...Help

    I think in the years you are looking the LX and interceptor have pretty much the exact same stuff. For the sake of not having something that was beat on, I'd get the LX. Both are easily good for another 100k, but do beware the transmissions while they last twice as long as the GM crap they still tend to get abused in those things and can go out. The interior should be a lot nicer on the LX...Those cars are pretty much bulletproof and have surprisingly good gas mileage. I rented one a few weeks ago and actually averaged over 30 on the highway. I wouldn't expect that with either of those, but nonetheless for having a wondo-boatlike ride they do pretty damn well.

    old JL 10 value?

    Could be a w0 in which case it is probably in the $25 range

    My employee in Detroit used to have a rabbit engine in his lotus that made 240hp. I can probably get you a rather good deal on his head and cam from it as well

    They make the biggest difference by far. Perhaps not as extreme on your truck as say my car, but that is the best way to improve your handling.

    Kind of an odd question

    Ah, the time when you start to look at the label and recording techniques when shopping for music. I remember when those days started. Classical music is a pretty broad genre, sort of like saying hey I like rock and roll now can someone recommend where I can buy some high quality recorded rock? i.e. there are a million options and they aren't very hard to find as classical listeners are usually about as anal retentive as any genre. It comes down to what you are looking for and how much you plan on getting into it.

    Improve as to make it handle (corner) better? Poly bushings all around performance shocks you might be able to find stiffer springs that don't lower it fast ratio steering box good tires stiffer sway bars Tires first...

    Not so sure that the budget will allow the absorption of a new car as well. This house was a wee bit out of the price range...actually a couple hundo, but they took my low ball so now we will be house poor. I don't think I will mind being house poor in that though

    Welcome to the IHoP

    each person would carry their fraction of the compromise idea so it would be 4 * 1.25 =5 If we assume that two were women, it would be 2.25+2.25+.25+.25=5
