Welcome to the IHoP

[Acidburn 10]

I'm warning you Tom, its pretty f'ing boring here....

im sure we could find something to do with a certain bright gold car

The only problem is I don't want to have to pay for new tires for it and it never really goes that far from home...

We can fit more 'hoes into a certain impala....

Chevelle + Impala = tons of room for ho's

You sir have me sold.... Give me 3-4 years and then I shall be graduated and my goal after graduation and getting a real engg job is to go buy a brand new camaro....

Then have a chit ton of fun

yea, never owned the GLHS but i've worked on many many many 2.2s

actually if you're interested in the omni, i know where a GLH-T is sitting in a junk yard. Has a few small problems but overall would be good for SPL, can probably get it cheap too. Turning a GLHS into an SPL car is one of the 7 deadly sins.

Yea, pm me with some details, I am very interested in the 88- later years. Would die for an 88 due to the change in build location. My dad works for chrysler and teaches automotive, you don't even want to know how many 2.2's we have played with. I have a 2.2l Turbo in a 91 lazer in my garage, had a 2.2 turbo lebaron coupe, and a 2.2 turbo gts. (lebaron 4 door)

Time for a v8 again, I might even do pushrods.

pushrods ain't thaaaat bad

Look at how many people love the Ls series of motors and how long the chevy small-block has been playing with push rods.

That's due to economics. GM hasn't been able to figure out how to mass-produce an OHC V8 cheap enough yet, and they won't make concessions that Ford has.

You have stemmed my curiousity on the concessions you are referring to.

Well, let's take the Ford Modular motors for example. Their 4 vlave 4.6 is the cheapest DOHC V8 in production. IT's small, lightweight, a little down on power and durability, but it's super-efficient and very smooth. The blocks themselves can handle over 1000HP, but their weaker internals are their downfall. Notice when Ford Supercharged the Cobra in '03 they went with an iron blcok and forged internals. Now, they say they did this for durability, but there were a ton of racers already pumping a lot of boost into the aluminum blocks with nothing more than forged internals. The aluminum blocks were proven performers in the strenght area, but with Ford adding forged internals and a supercharger, they had to cut costs soomewhere. Bring in the iron block.

They have been very aware of the HUGE success of the Mustang aftermarket and left it upon this aftermarket to take the most advantage of the engines. I think GM should follow suit. The market that is going to be buying these engines in these vehicles is also going to be looking into the aftermarket anyways, so why not cheapen up on the engine a little bit and leave it to the end user? You get less weight, higher rev potnential and the best part is increased efficiency. GM has always been one to sort of stay with what works, and while it has worked, sometimes you need to venture out and try something new. They got the SB Chevy to be THE CHEAPEST ENGINE to mass produce and work on, so I'm sure, if they tried, they would have no problem with adapting to the OHC engines as well. Their only venture I can recall is the ZR1 corvette, and THAT is far from cheap to produce or repair. It was very overcomplicated.

Now, this is strictly my opinion here.

and lastly, flirted my ass off with the girl at work, and then i'd just walk away. Is it bad that i got a kick watching her chase me all over the store?

Nice move! It wouldn't be bad as that is how to play the game.

I thought you said there were concessions. To me it actually sounds logical as there is an issue here in the US with people buying quality. Just look at the number of chain restaurants. Actually I have a fun game for you all. You realize how much I travel right? Now realize that I do not eat at any chain when I am alone (local little ones excluded) and see how many places you can find to eat. It sickens me how commercialized and crap-tized our diets have become here. In Europe it is family restaurant after family restaurant. In the US we get suburban strip mall chain hell. I FUCKING hate it.

You can, but not really if you are hittin' it.

[Worlddre 1]

morning hopdizzle

so yesterday i got to work to find that my other installer was not here..so some time passes and we come to the conclusion that the fool is in jail for his second offense dui. Now he is commonly known as a true alcoholic so this came as now surprise to the rest of us. So the owner of the place fired him leaving me as the only installer at a darn busy shop and aside from the obvious monetary benefits im not sure how a feel about it

[///M5 2,833]

Now is the time to ask for a raise.

[Worlddre 1]

I'm not stupid, but hell hath no fury like my manager.

last night apparently she got pissed cause she walked back and saw me and the girl that's out of my league in the fitting room.

The only good part of all this is that pretty much every person working there realizes WHY she doesn't want me to date anyone.

Luckily it is mostly in the sections I don't go to otherwise I'd start to be mean to him probably. I try to not be mean here, that is why I post at FSC so I can take something out on idiots.
