  1. I MAY just upgrade, and give the one i'm using now to my mother........
  2. how do you like it? how's it record? in segments, or constant? does it automatically loop over old stuff when it runs outta room?
  3. nah...if it were one of them, it'd be lost.
  4. what dash cam you running? mine can't zoom like that.......
  5. but how do we find someone to run against those schmucks that may have a chance? there's a lot of you that are very politically savvy in here.....you're the guys we need to hear from on how to get a good guy in the office........or even just whom that good guy may be.......
  6. it doesn't matter what letter comes after their name. as long as they're a friend of ours.
  7. this was my point. cc is no friend of ours.....but he is a major improvement over what we've had for the last decade or so. now is the time to find someone to improve on him. find someone who IS a friend of ours. someone that has the balls to continue in the right direction, and keep the nazis in check.
  8. INSTEAD of that, what can we do to ensure that there is a freedom friendly candidate on the ballot? what needs to be done, who can we try to get on there? now's the time to start. actually it's a bit late.....but if we start now, maybe we'll have success in getting someone better than cc, rather than one of the nazis that's hoping to take his place.......
  9. i'd rather see em keep the v8 in there......and add twin turbos to that.
  10. not to hijack....but is that your nova in the pic? gotta post em man! don't see those anymore.
  11. they seem to be available almost everywhere for 20-30 bucks. several vendors here sell em, there's a private party in the classified selling them......
  12. in my truck, i keep it all the way in the back. in a car, in the trunk.
  13. unless we wake up enough people to get someone better.
  14. i don't know why they felt the need to redesign the plugs. maybe a gm engineer came over and sabotaged it, lololol. overall, i feel that the 4.6 could've been every bit the engine that the current 5 liter coyote is. it's really a good strong design, with what appears to be many features taken from the old 427 sohc......with the exception of a dohc version, and not enough cubes. the current coyote engines are incredible. they've got torque right off idle, and pull right to redline. i've read reports of guys building(or using power adders) them up to nearly 1,000hp on the stock block. i think that the oil pump drive gear is the weak point in them right now, as i've also read a few reports of them breaking under high hp loads. can't wait to see what ford does with the gt350 next year. rumor mill says a flat plane crank 5.2 liter just over 500hp.
  15. if i recall, there's something like 3 different versions of the 5.4 liter in the trucks, and each has it's own spark plug problem.
  16. it'd be nice if they'd build something like that in the price range of the vette, and make it a vette killer.
  17. they always try to put down american stuff. your mileage is thanks to two overdrives though if you've got a manual trans. hell.....could you imagine the mileage i'd get in my gt doing 70 only turning 1300rpm?
  18. the one i'm looking at will need cleaning inside. it's been setting for about 6 years. needs a new top. i think it's just under 100k miles, and is a 91 if i recall(can't get into my invoicing system from home to be sure) and the price is right....as in well under 2k.
  19. that's all?? or is that avg? i get 26-28 at 75-80mph in my gt./.....that's on the highway though. that said....i got a customer selling a miata, that i've been looking REALLY hard at.
  20. you can still have that. there's a 72 f100 for sale by a customer of mine. beautiful truck. 390 automatic with a bench seat. no electronics at all. it'll get about 7mpg, handle corners like they're not there(helps keep the tow trucks in business, lolol), has a single speaker stereo, accelerate like a slug with salt poured on it, and might even start on the first try when it's zero degrees outside.
  21. yep. the one that's shutting the radio off is programmed to do that.
  22. in a way, it doesn't matter if you need one or not. if you're shooting outside, and using your hd firearms, and the usage of those hd firearms would entail the usage of armor in home defense....then you should be wearing it as you would in defense of your home.
  23. i'd even go to the point of wanting my money back, so i can go get another car somewhere else. if they hadda do something that was so serious that they're afraid to tell me what it was, then i don't think i'd really wanna keep the car.....
  24. had a customer brought me his subaru and all the parts i needed to repace his clutch. including a new dual mass flywheel. he'd bought all the stuff online from a ct subaru dealer. the stuff was all in subaru packaging, and had subaru part numbers on it. i did the job, he had the car back for 3 or 4 days, when he came back, saying sometimes it wouldn't come outta gear. he'd have to shut the engine off then restart once it was in neutral. sometimes he wasn't able to shift. i test drove it, and duplicated both problems. he left it with me. i started re-checking everything i did, thinking i managed to screw up somewhere. turns out the flywheel was defective. he went to the local subaru dealer, they pretty close to told him to pound sand. i sent him up to miller(they've helped me in the past). he took video of the flywheel, along with the flywheel. the service manager there said he thought it was defective too, but he couldn't get it approved for warranty. my customer had to go right up the tree to subaru corporate. he just bought an entire new clutch set, so i could put his car back together, and kept hammering them. it took about 3 months, but they finally reimbursed him for the new stuff. THAT was the second time i'd heard anything bad about subaru. the first time was a wrx sti that'd broken the tranny at about 30k miles.....they denied him warranty. got another customer i'd sent to cherry hill imports. i'd diagnosed her car as having a bad ecm. i had a little doubt though, and being an 04 c series, that was expensive. i told her take it there, let them diagnose, and see what they say to be sure. they whacked her for just over 600 bucks, and didn't fix anything. well.....they replaced a couple things in the evap system, but didn't fix her problem. i got a local pd that brings me cars. one of their 2013 chargers had a bad inner control arm bushing. the officer video'd it, then took it to a local dodge dealer. they looked at it and told him nothing was wrong. with a friggin control arm flapping int he breeze. no.....no i don't much care for dealers, when ever dealing i or my customers have with them is pretty much not goo. the ONE dealer i will give cudos to, id performance dodge in woodbury. one of their service managers helped me a LOT with a customers viper truck. and he didn't have to.....but he did. he spent much more time working with me than i expected, which i seriously appreciated.....
  25. i used to love those old 4 bangers. was getting pretty good at water pumps and thermostats on em.
