The obvious answer to the question "Why?" is "Why not?" and "Because". Very imaginative.

That would be so sweet of you. I'm in too.

JagGXP's '99 Sunfire GT Convertible

Rick and his wife, Angie Marie, were driving home one very cold night when Angie Marie asks her husband to stop the car. There was a baby skunk lying at the side of the road, and she got out to see if it was still alive. It was, and she said to Rick, 'It's nearly frozen to death. Can we take it with us, get it warm, and let it go in the morning?' He says, 'O. K., Get in the car with it.' 'Where shall I put it to get it warm?' Rick says, 'Put it in between your legs. It's nice and warm there.' 'But what about the smell?' 'Just hold its little nose.' Rick is expected to recover, but the skunk she used to beat him with, died at the scene.

The Oregon state legislature is proposing a new law to lift the requirement mandating that all gasoline sold in the state must contain a percentage of ethanol. This is a good thing for classic car owners whose fuel systems were never designed for alcohol-based fuels and the problems it can cause. http://www.semasan.com/page.asp?content=aa_2015OR2&g=SEMAGA If you live in Oregon, you might want to contact your local state representative.

The '69 Trans Am prototype that was sold at Barrett-Jackson. It is not included in the 669 Trans Am production count.

Nope - just a new(er) dipstick. One that isn't white when you pull it out.

I would also like to get to the bottom of the mysterious oil loss and leak. So perhaps some engine work too.

Sadly no stratman. You have to be invited into the Cavalcade of Customs. I could enter it in the muscle car classes I suppose, but honestly, she is nowhere near where I want her yet either. I am trying to get her into the upholstery shop this winter plus get the new rims powder coated.

I agree with you my friend, but it does it by changing the transmissions fluid pressure through the valve body (versus stock and what the computer is expecting it to do). I think an ill-timed shift could be a problem long-term - hence my advice - consulting with Overkill first.

Let me make sure I understand what you are looking for here.... You want a power brake booster and master cylinder combo to work on an 8-lug drum '62 GP? Did I get that right? Are you looking to upgrade the car to 8-lug disc brakes too? Have I got that right?

Tie rod end links perhaps?

SAY WHAT?????? SAY IT AINT'T SO JUSTA !!!!!!

Normally I would endorse a shift kit. A shift kit will add/change/remove check balls, and change certain valve body springs in order to change internal transmission fluid pressure to order in change the shift points, usually for a firmer 1-2 and 2-3 up/down shift. In this case, I am would call Overkill Motorsports first. Their literature talks about changing shift points programmatically. My concern would be the mechanical shift kit changes working against the electronic shift points of the tune thus working to destroy your transmission prematurely. So do yourself a favor and see what they recommend. They may have a kit that works in concert with their tune. As I often tell people on this forum, do your homework.

At the end of the tax year, the IRS sent an inspector to audit the books of a local hospital. While the agent was checking the books, he turned to the executive of the hospital and said “I notice you buy a lot of bandages. What do you do with the end of the roll when there's too little left to be of any use?" "Good question," noted the executive. "We save them up and send them back to the bandage company and every once in a while, they send us a free roll." "Oh," replied the auditor, somewhat disappointed that his unusual question had a practical answer. But on he went, in his obnoxious way. “What about all these plaster purchases? What do you do with what's left over after setting a cast on a patient?" "Ah, yes," replied the executive, realising that the inspector was trying to trap him with an unanswerable question. "We save it and send it back to the manufacturer and every so often they send us a free bag of plaster." "I see," replied the auditor, thinking hard about how he could fluster the know-it-all executive. "Well, What do you do with all the remains from the circumcision surgeries?" "Here, too, we do not waste," answered the executive. "What we do is save all the little foreskins and send them to the IRS, and about once a year they send us a complete prick."

Doesn't Jedi live somewhere in SC?

What deep thinkers men are... I mowed the lawn today, and after doing so I sat down and had a cold beer. The day was really quite beautiful, and the drink facilitated some deep thinking. My wife walked by and asked me what I was doing, and I said 'nothing'. The reason I said 'nothing' instead of saying 'just thinking' is because she then would have asked 'about what?'. At that point I would have had to explain that men are deep thinkers about various topics, which would lead to other questions. Finally I pondered an age old question: Is giving birth more painful than getting kicked in the nuts? Women always maintain that giving birth is way more painful than a guy getting kicked in the nuts, but how could they "know"? Well, after another beer, and some more heavy deductive thinking, I have come up with an answer to that question. Getting kicked in the nuts is more painful than having a baby, and even though I obviously couldn't really "know", here is the reason for my conclusion. A year or so after giving birth, a woman will often say, "It might be nice to have another child." On the other hand, you never hear a guy say,"You know, I think I would like another kick in the nuts." I rest my case. Time for another cold beer, and then maybe a nap in the hammock.

A seven-year-old boy was at the center of a Toronto courtroom drama yesterday when he challenged a court ruling over who should have custody of him. The boy has a history of being beaten by his parents and the judge initially awarded custody to his aunt, in keeping with child custody law and regulations requiring that family unity be maintained to the degree possible. The boy surprised the court when he proclaimed that his aunt beat him more than his parents and he adamantly refused to live with her. When the judge then suggested that he live with his grandparents, the boy cried out that they also beat him. After considering the remainder of the immediate family and learning that domestic violence was apparently a way of life among them, the judge took the unprecedented step of allowing the boy to propose who should have custody of him. After two recesses to check legal references and confer with child welfare officials, the judge granted temporary custody to the Toronto Maple Leafs, whom the boy firmly believes is not capable of beating anyone.

So we are a month away from the Detroit Autorama. Who is in? JUSTA? notallthere? Indymanjoe? Any one else? A buddy of mine has had his wife's '63 Ford Galaxie invited in participate in the Cavalcade of Kustoms. SO I know Chuck and his wife will be there.

We build out our garage and pole barns, stock pile them with the right parts and tools, or we have buddies who do have the specialty tools we need. We spend time going thru parts and tool catalogs getting things we want and rummaging around swap meets looking for all those hard to come by, fan dangled parts and tools. It becomes a life style....and you can still drink beer if you spend your money wisely enough and you don't tell your wife how much you really spent on that air racquet.

Amen.

You are my hero JUSTA.

Dan was a single guy living at home with his father and working in the family business. When he found out he was going to inherit a fortune when his sickly father died, he decided he needed to find a wife with whom to share his fortune. One evening, at an investment meeting, he spotted the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. Her natural beauty took his breath away. "I may look like just an ordinary guy," he said to her, "but in just a few years, my father will die and I will inherit $200 million." Impressed, the woman asked for his business card and three days later, she became his stepmother. Women are so much better at financial planning than men.
