howa japan!

i is tired

How was the flight?

[///M5 2,833]

And I don't fit an H1, completely useless vehicle. I'd much rather have a jacked up Ford truck.

Sorry man But I dont see how you dont fit..............We can fir 6'11 guys in there with no problem.

Then again military version of the H1 is way better.

Why not do a built up bad ass F-250??

J

Sit in a pedestrian version once and you'll know how I don't fit. Terribly teeny.

I don't want a truck. I want a car, but if it can tow my boat its a bonus. If it doesn't pull 13's in the quarter and hit 60 in under 6 AND be able to pull great skid numbers it isn't what I want.

BW3?

Buffalo Wild Wings (Sports Bar)

Maybe BW^2?

Used to be called BW3 because the offically name was Buffalo Wild Wings and Weck hench BW3....A weck is a roll with some kind of seeds in it not to sure....

Terrible food anyway. I wish it and ALL other chains would die.

Apparently I'm naive, but I always thought new plug wires was included in a tune up. How the hell does only changing the plugs cost like $160? Plugs cost 3 bucks. Somehow new plugs, wires, and serpentine belt comes out to $370 even though the parts cost 80 bucks in total and it can't take more than two hours to do all of it.

Now I'm really wishing I would have just braved the cold to change them myself. At least the belt. But some of the plugs are a bit hard to get to.

They did say the wires looked original though, and with 190k+ miles, I'm kinda surprised they've lasted this long. I asked for the parts back, so I can test the resistance of them to see if they've increased. What should normal resistance be? Will be interesting to see the spark plugs as I'm not sure if/when they've been changed before.

Anybody know anything about the MTX 6000 series 10" subs from 6-7 years ago? I got some for my dad way back then for his truck, but now we're taking them out and putting them in my little brother's car. I was going to make a ported box but I can't find any box recommendations or T/S specs online. MTX's site is apparently down.

Edit- nvm, found them.

In addition to revealing its latest financial figures, Nintendo has released some interesting facts about its two star performers, the Wii and DS. As revealed in the financials, the Wii has sold over 67 million units since its launch in 2006. Putting that in context, Nintendo reveals that the original Nintendo Entertainment System sold 61.91 units in its lifetime, which now makes the Wii the company's most successful console of all time.

E34 M5 "body" and engine (and gearbox I think), tubular chassis, the owner wants to hit the 1000hp mark and 9 seconds in the quarter.

Funny to see an american rear axle in a local project.

You got raped. And plug wires are part of a tune up.

You need to find a local place where it's only mexican guys. They will have one dude who speaks ~some~ english and the rest just work on cars. You can bring in your own online ordered parts and they will charge about 100 bucks for anything.

Here in the twin cities there are no better places to take your car. They know more practical knowledge about tune ups and basic repair than ever other tech who works in a chain shop combined. I wouldn't ask them to tune up an Enzo, but if my Ford pickup/SUV needs some love they will have that shiz done in 15 min and they might throw in a new transmission and some beans and rice on the way out for under 100 bucks.

, that is who services on my car here in the Texas area since they do a great job and good prices.

That's what I thought. I'm not going to this shop anymore. It seems like a reputable place, it's a Goodyear dealer shop that also does all mechanic work, just like my dad's shop. Maybe I need to start taking it to a mechanic-only shop.

After seeing my bill, the biggest problem was not taking in my own parts. They gave me double platinum plugs @ 12 apiece and a $75 wire set. I don't think my Explorer needs that. $3 plugs and a $30 wire set probably would have been adequate. Labor for doing plugs and wires was 115. Coulda saved 40 bucks in labor by replacing the belt myself though.

My plugs definitely needed replaced though. Half of them had the electrode worn down all the way to a smooth nub barely above the insulator. I'm surprised some of them even fired.

If I remember right plugs and wires for my car are around 180$ in parts alone.

Is that a Ford 9" in that rear end?
