  1. Mine would stay running but I did not let it, the cooling fan and gauges are not hooked up. I may do that this weekend. I'll have some video and sound clips the weekend. i'm just backed up a t my shop with customers vehicles and dont have time to play with it during the week.
  2. It's hard to tell, but I beleive you would know what your daughter looks like in a picture. I will say you will have your hands full when shes a teenager
  3. That is cool as sh!t but where can you really use that car. i'll stick to the 1/4 mile
  4. Well I spent a little more time on my Firebird this weekend. I put the 6spd in it and buttoned up a few more loose ends. I fired it up Sunday, open exhaust (mainfolds and abouts 6' of exhaust pipe ). Only ran it for a few minutes, I did not have the cooling fan hooked up, just long enough to hear it run. I am just waitng on my headers, trans crossmember (have the one for the auto but not the 6spd), clutch pedal setup and driveshaft. Then it is just finishing up few minor things and it will be on the road . The headers and crossmember will be in by mid week next week and I'm not sure about the pedal set up. Hopefully it will be done in a few weeks, Gainseville opens up for test and tune on Wed. nights Will have some more pics by the weekend.
  5. I've been running a 150shot on my truck for better than a year and made many passes without a hitch so far. I did change the plugs anf had the pcm tuned for it. I have almost 60k on it and still have the original tranny (just been lucky so far). Done right it works great
  6. I don't care who ya are thats F-ing funny
  7. I'm just about in the same boat. a few credit card debts, nothing to crazy. A few costly hobbies, 4wheelers, jet ski's, My car projects ( my firebird- ran up a few cards ) and a couple others sitting on the back burner for now. I do well, I run a repair shop with my dad, helps keep the car project cost reasonable . I miss a pay check its not the end of the world but my money does get tight from time to time.
  8. My tranny showed up today for my Firebird. I decided to go the 6spd route instead of the 700r4. I got it on ebay They said its out of an 06 SSR with 2 miles on it, I checked it out and it may for an 06 SSR but it has never been installed in a vehilce . There are absolutly no bolt marking on it anywhere a bolt would have been installed (bellhousing, shifter, ect). It is from a salavage yard, even if it only had a couple of miles on it there would be some signs of it being installed I paid $1770 for it, I had called the GM dealer I buy my parts from and said that tranny list for about $3200 and my cost is just under $3k, guess I got a deal The clutch disc I had, I already had it new (came on the LS1 crate engine I have) Look at the bellhousing bolt hole, no marks if it was use the would be some sign even if it was put in and taken right out. I am waiting for my sway bars to come in still, Spohn pro-drag rear bar and sprohn front bar. Looks like I will need a new drive shaft, the original one will not fit the tranny which is fine because I was goingto get a stronger one anyways, I was just waiting for the tranny. A few small items and it will be

    calling out

    Man that sounds like fun, but thats a pretty good drive for me. I'm just on the east side of G-ville, I goto the track there all the time. I know jaymoney was reffering to me. I'd play but I would hate for something to break that far from home. I do have something for that vette, should be running a few weeks My new toy the tranny should be here by next week andthen its just a fwe little odds & ends.
  10. Dam, I would like to see my Firebird be able to pick up the front wheel but dam that was nuts
  11. That wasn't even funny , How could someone be that stupid. I think some people do it just for the hell of it to get on TV, I know I cant sing so why waste the time
  12. A WEEK AT THE GYM: ONE MAN'S STORY This is dedicated to everyone who ever attempted to get into a regular workout routine. Dear Diary: For my birthday this year, my wife (the dear) purchased a week of personal training at the local health club for me. Although I am still in as great a shape as my college days some 30-40 years ago, I decided it would be a good idea to go ahead and give it a try, mostly to please her. I called the club and made my reservations with a personal trainer named Belinda, who identified herself as a 26-year-old aerobics instructor and model for athletic clothing and swim wear. My wife seemed pleased with my enthusiasm to get started! The club encouraged me to keep a diary to chart of my progress.. MONDAY Started my day at 6:00 a.m. Tough to get out of bed, but found it was well worth it when I arrived at the health club to find Belinda waiting for me. She is something of a Greek goddess - with blond hair, dancing eyes and a dazzling white smile. Woo Hoo!! Belinda gave me a tour and showed me the machines. She took my pulse after five minutes on the treadmill. She was alarmed that my pulse was so fast, but I attribute it to standing next to her in her Lycra aerobic outfit. I enjoyed watching the skillful way in which she conducted her aerobics class after my workout today. Very inspiring! Belinda was encouraging as I did my sit-ups, although my gut was already aching from holding it in the whole time she was around. This is going to be a FANTASTIC week!! TUESDAY I drank a whole pot of coffee, but I finally made it out the door. Belinda made me lie on my back and push a heavy iron bar into the air -- then she put weights on it! My legs were a little wobbly on the treadmill, but I made the full mile. Belinda's rewarding smile made it all worthwhile. I feel GREAT-!! It's a whole new life for me. WEDNESDAY The only way I can brush my teeth is by laying on the toothbrush on the counter and moving my mouth back and forth over it. I believe I have a hernia in both pectorals. Driving was OK as long as I didn't try to steer or stop. I parked on top of a GEO in the club parking lot. Belinda was impatient with me, insisting that my screams bothered other club members. Her voice is a little too perky for early in the morning and when she scolds, she gets this nasally whine that is VERY annoying. My chest hurt when I got on the treadmill, so Belinda put me on the stair monster. Why the hell would anyone invent a machine to simulate an activity rendered obsolete by elevators? Belinda told me it would help me get in shape and enjoy life. She said some other shit too. THURSDAY Belinda was waiting for me with her vampire-like teeth exposed as her thin, cruel lips were pulled back in a full snarl. I couldn't help being a half an hour late, it took me that long to tie my shoes. Belinda took me to work out with dumbbells. When she was not looking, I ran and hid in the men's room. She sent Lars to find me. Then, as punishment, she put me on the rowing machine -- which I sank. FRIDAY I hate that bitch Belinda more than any human being has ever hated any other human being in the history of the world. Stupid, skinny, anemic little cheerleader. If there was a part of my body I could move without unbearable pain, I would beat her with it. Belinda wanted me to work on my triceps. I don't have any triceps! And if you don't want dents in the floor, don't hand me the M----- f----- barbells or anything that weighs more than a sandwich. The treadmill flung me off and I landed on a health and nutrition teacher. Why couldn't it have been someone softer, like the drama coach or the choir director? SATURDAY Belinda left a message on my answering machine in her grating, shrilly voice wondering why I did not show up today. Just hearing her made me want to smash the machine with my planner. However, I lacked the strength to even use the TV remote and ended up watching eleven straight hours of the Weather Channel. SUNDAY I'm having the Church van pick me up for services today so I can go and thank GOD that this week is over. I will also pray that next year my wife (Satan) will choose a gift for me that is fun -- like a root canal or a vasectomy ... that is if I don't divorce her first for intolerable cruelty.

  14. Just found out they are filming Pinks All Out down in West Palm Fl this weekend. Are there any SSS'ers from here going. They are looking for 12.99 or quicker, hey I'm 12.70 on the bottle wonder if I should give it a try. $10k would be nice since I just put $10k in my Firebird . I have some family in West Palm, I may ck it out.
  15. Well I decided to go the 6 speed routte on my Firebird instead of automatic. I got a tremec T56 on ebay. I figured a 6 speed would be more fun than a auto, should make for a more interesting . Should be here next week Hopefully I can get this car done by March. I've got about $10k in it and its still not done, thats not including the new LS1 in it. I just need a few minor things but cant do them till the tranny is in. Should have some more pics soon.
  16. That's funny what a loser! Probably was set up for the video though
  17. That must be why I'm so smart, I have big brains
  18. A man wanted to get married. He was having trouble choosing among three likely candidates. He gives each woman a present of $5,000 and watches to see what they do with the money. The first does a total make over. She goes to a fancy beauty salon gets her hair done, new make up and buys several new outfits and dresses up very nicely for the man. She tells him that she has done this to be more attractive for him because she loves him so much. The man was impressed. The second goes shopping to buy the man gifts. She gets him a new set of golf clubs, some new gizmos for his computer, and some expensive clothes. As she presents these gifts, she tells him that she has spent all the money on him because she loves him so much. Again, the man is impressed. The third invests the money in the stock market. She earns several times the $5,000. She gives him back his $5,000 and reinvests the remainder in a joint account. She tells him that she wants to save for their future because she loves him so much. Obviously, the man was impressed. The man thought for a long time about what each woman had done with the money he'd given her. Then, he married the one with the biggest boobs. Men are like that, you know. There is more money being spent on breast implants and Viagra today than on Alzheimer's research. This means that by 2040, there should be a large elderly population with perky boobs and huge erections and absolutely no recollection of what to do with them. If you don't send this to five OLD friends right away there will be five fewer people laughing in the world
  19. Lady With Car Trouble A blonde's car gets a flat tire on the Interstate one day. So she eases it over onto the shoulder of the road. She carefully steps out of the car and opens the trunk. Takes out two cardboard men, unfolds them and stands them at the rear of the vehicle facing oncoming traffic. The lifelike cardboard men are in trench coats exposing their nude bodies to approaching drivers.... Not surprisingly, the traffic became snarled and backed up. It wasn't very long before a police car arrives. The Officer, clearly enraged, approaches the blonde of the disabled vehicle yelling, "What is going on here?" "My car broke down, Officer" says the woman, calmly. "Well, what the hell are these obscene cardboard pictures doing here by the road?!" asks the Officer... "Oh, those are my emergency flashers!" she replied.
