I'm suprised we only have Trav, Sean, KU40 and myself interested in Fantasy Football. ARE YOU GUYS EVEN AMERICAN!?!?! (Statement excludes AdrianD, AneonRider, and Chevy350TPI)

I was really excited about making all of you SSA guys cry in Fantasy Football.

What is the point in it? I watch the games on TV and need no more. What will Fantasy do for someone like me? ? ? Nothing other than take up precious time I don't have.

Knocking something you haven't tried, eh?

Not knocking it, just stating why I am not interested.

It'll make you like football and waste more of your time, I was just trying to convince you to do it.

I love football, college more so than NFL, but I have no time, nor desire to delve any further into the sport aside from watching it on TV.

FAIL!

THAT IS ALL

I think Travis means....

Conclusion: I like it, but a truck with fender flares like this can not be lowered any more. I really would like a 3" lift and 33s eventually. and 4.56s

I thought you wanted to go fast with it??

Damn It! You caught me again! lol, thats why I said 4.56's everyone knows 4.10s are plenty enough for 33's, duh. I dunno though I just don't see the truck looking that good with those fender flares on stock lift. But I might have discovered tonight that the flares can be removed ( I think there glued along the seem of the top)

But I know you always will make compromises. Point In Case - I will add a 25lb Icon with a ported box, 2 (eventually 3) Amps, and loads of deadener. Plans are for a tool box, air compressor, train horns, extra battery (if needed) and HO alt (if needed). So I'm already killing myself with weight in that department.

I also plan to keep the 5.3 backed with the 4L60e. If I REALLY wanted to get serious and not care about gas mileage a 6.0L or 408 would be going in, backed by a 4L80e no questions asked.

So yes power/speed is important, but so is a bad ass truck with functionality as well as speed. When I want to be faster I'll buy a 2000 Camaro/Trans Am call up my buddy Jared and say lets make it happen and be running 11.5 1/4's and 1.5x 60's on Cam

Alright, do whatever you want, just wanted to make sure you have realized and accepted the sacrifices of a mixed-use vehicle.

don't remember much of last night

not at all hungover, and I know I didn't drink that much

*goes to see what he missed*

I'd hit it

No doubt. She looks like a dirty little bird.

[Penguin4x4 1,761]

god I was an absolute blathering idiot last night

summation: Sean is too much of a realist (bordering on pessimist) for me to handle

[Penguin4x4 1,761]

that NASCAR quip was unusually witty of me

[Penguin4x4 1,761]

looks like Gustav changed course and is going almost directly to the north/northeast. Score

[dem beats 1,223]

I was probably taught a different definition of culture than Sean was...

I feel like I am playing T-ball, but will refrain from swinging.

damnit, I laughed so loud a co worker walked over to my desk, and nearly coated my monitor in protein shake.

It isn't that the German cars are expensive to insure, but that you are looking at ones that are expensive to fix and regularly crashed. My M5 insurance is nearly half the price of my Silverado's. Curious as to what insurance company you are using as I'd actually expect at the buy in price for the A3 that it would be somewhat reasonable to insure. How bad was it?

Progressive, and I was quoted $1300/6 months. The Volvo They quoted me $1K/6 months, and even the 04 S60R I looked at was $1200/ 6 months. I think for the most part it was becuase 1, the Volvo is a brand new model (C30), and the A3 is only a few years old, but shit. I have a perfect driving record, always pay my bill on time, never made a claim with ANY company, a few months shy of 30, etc. . .

I'm half-tempted to buy another Taurus and enjoy the cheapness on every front and splurge my savings away on a set of twins and a stroker kit for the Cobra, but then what's the point in that when I don't even drive the damn car now.

Have you tried things other than Progressive? That is absurd. My M5 is $450/yr, my wives Audi is $600/yr it sounds to me like you are being raped.

yes I am an optimist, shoot me

I wonder how ridiculously unreliable a Ferrari 456 would be as a daily car?

<--perhaps drank too much wine

I think it sound slike the perfect commuter. We can ever carpool, and on those really though days, I'll drive so you won't even have to worry about dealing with traffic.

283 dipshits arrested in MN. I have no issues with protestors, but wtf acting like junior high kids is ridiculous. Gotta feel good about yourself getting a felony for destruction of property. de de de

it was some anarchists movement. the spokes person for the group said something about it being non violent and they only want it so no one has more controll over their lives than they do....

Then they go and throw glass bottles.

I'd like the world to be better as well, but the first step in changing anything is realizing there is something that needs to be changed.

that thing can have my children.

Thats also the elitistttt in you

I am glad that I like to succeed, I don't quite understand wanting to be below average.

Nothing wrong with succeeding; taking a big ole poopie on people who aren't on your level is what I was refferrrring to

So by stating the truth I am pooping on people? If as a society we are severely under cultured for our social economic situation as a country it is better to just flop along and say differently?

There is also a huge difference between calling a spade a spade generally and specifically calling someone out. By specifically of course I mean letting them know you are doing it.

I wouldn't consider that a question; more like a statement to the current social climate in our country.

Amusing since I actually think our level of culture is growing why our economic situation is getting worse. Considering how well off we are as a country though the average person here is pathetic when it comes to realizing what is really important in life.

DING DING DING.

I raise my hand, I've got another question: "If I start a riot, will I get protection? 'Cause I'm the kid whose got a lot of problems and if I throw a brick maybe the brick will go and solve them."

[Penguin4x4 1,761]

I WANNA RIOT

these right winged bloggers are funny

"LEAVE SARAH ALONE" etc

I finished my box. I was pretty pissed off about one corner. I couldn't get the wood to seal 100%. I ended up filling it with glue when I saw it yesterday, then every edge got a THICK layer of silicone. It's only 1 layer of 3/4 birch ply with 2 braces in it. I should have just about 6 cubes, maybe a bit more after driver displacement.

[dem beats 1,223]

I want to nail sarah. I hope she did some nude movies with a trailor park guy. Those should be out there.

She moves to the number 2 spot for ladies I would love to nail.

[Penguin4x4 1,761]

Dunno about anyone else but when an abstinence only preaching pentecostal politician's daughter winds up getting knocked up out of wedlock its pretty damned funny

[///M5 2,833]

22' Triton? Sweet!!

I just pulled on the material and it fell out of the way. Do you want pics from the inside or under hood?

**might require a reminder in the AM as I am not doing it now, too dark to see shit and my flash sucks

both plz and i can do an AM reminder

I'll plug in the camera, probably should charge it before asia anyways.

your welcome

That made me laugh, I had forgotten that the glove I was wearing got stuck but in a spot that I wouldn't see it so I left it.

It is on the left side of the master cylinder.
