Y'all are alright.You may want to re-think that statement Jason, it saddens me to think that you feel nobody here in the Northeast or on the West Coast likes you guys because of where you are from and what you believe in. I guess that means you do not like us either.
For yankees.

You're all a bunch of freakin' newbs on this site.
I really have yet to need Danny's help, but have talked to him a few times. I met him through Steve, and he seems to know his stuff. He's ok with me. Sometimes it's hard to tell someone's tone in a post. Sounds like a misunderstanding that went too far.

You'll be a real pal in my book if you can tell me how to get rid of siatic nerve pain.

One of the big differences is that 50 years ago people payed attention to what their kids were doing, and threw down some real disipline when they got out of line. Now CPS gets involved with how we raise our children. My wife is a teacher, and I can't tell you how many times the parents blame the teachers, or make some excuse, for their childrens disipline issues. I know when I was a kid if you got in trouble at school I got it twice as bad at home. Parents didn't make excuses, they just said I'll take care of it.Sure, American greed and some lack of oversight or regulation allowed the current economic conditions to happen. Allen Greenspan and his pushing for low income "no doc" loans helped. Commission greedy loan officers and their companies pushing them to talk anyone into a loan that "qualified" because they had a pulse and a 620 credit score into a home they could no way afford also played a huge roll. The regualr american Joe Schmoe who had an 800 credit score and wanted another $40k line of credit on his home who didnt care if you were honest and told him his house wasnt worth $300k, it was only worth $260k, would find an appraiser or bank that would just agree with him and give him the moneybased on $300k anyway also played a roll. The other major factor that contributed more than anything though was globalization and 30 years of Administrations refusing to impose tariffs on imports, allowing all of our manufacturing to go over seas. First textiles went, followed by industrial manufacturing, then went customer service and IT jobs, and now food production isnt far behind (think I'm kidding? do some research on it. Less than 50% of food in the US stands to produced in the US in the coming years). This is the main reason we are turning into a service economy because service cant be outsourced as it can only be done here. So we are turning into a nation that will wait on each other for an economy, sounds fun huh? Medical industry will be the highest paying until we get socialized medicine and that industry collapses as it converts from privatization to nationalization. I have to agree with Dylan06ss that unions didnt help any of this. However, neither did NAFTA, or other policies prior to, that helped free trade send plants anf jobs over seas. However, who can blame them for pushing for this when they had to pay someone with just a GED $30/hr plus triple overtime sometimes to accomplish 50% capability production of a simple part or some other mundane task?Regardless of what caused this mess, which is a lot more than we have time to discuss here, our country is absolutely heading in the WRONG direction. Was four of McCain better than 4yrs of Obama? That is debatable, but most likely the answer is "It didnt matter who got elected and who preceeded them". Our country's attitude and priorities have been messed up for longer than 8years. Our nations issues go far deeper than any presidential leader or even congress for that matter. We have a nation of uneducated people who are more focused on a pantyless Spears or baby daddy drama with Kfed or Paris Hilton's sex tape than what is going on in the stock market or even being voted on in congress. Everyone says they care, but no one is willing to do anything about it except maybe vote for change, without knwoing what that change is. Everyone wants to blame guns on all the mass shootings, but no one wants to examine it might the pressures our current society has imposed on an individual. Make no mistake, I'm not defending these individuals and there is no excuse, but please explain why there werent any of these shootings 50 yrs ago in schools like there are today? Because the US had a different attitude about raising children and family dynamics, thats why. As a society, we have allowed this to happen. The average citizen doesnt comprehend or understand what is going on. No one takes the time to educate themselves. They buy some propaganda and jump on either the conservative or liberal bandwagon and are quick to judge spewing rhetoric without facts.

Don't blame me. I voted for the other guy.people need to pay attention to who they vote for.osama def. bringin us some change!

It's true. Chrysler is not taking back any inventory (vehicles or parts) from any dealers that have had their franchise pulled. It will cause some people to go bankrupt. It's severely f'ed up, imo.If this is true, im not surpised at all. Welcome to change people, cause it's here!There's a dealer in Ft Worth that was approached by Chrysler a year and a half ago to open a Dodge franchise. He did, spending however many millions to build a nice facility, ect. He has also been cut.

So, I take the trans is no longer bleeding?

Sounds cool, Steve.
I loooove the Lake Tahoe area, btw. -
But nail the hemi driver to a tree.What happened? Surely you can drop in and let us know. It's good that you are getting your life in order, and that are realizing this now before it's to late. I've done very stupid things in my life too, I'm sure we all have. It's part of being a kid and learning our lessons as we grow up to become men and women. Well, good luck to you, and we hope things get better, and remember, when you become a cop and you see an SS screaming down the street blowing the doors off a Hemi, it could and might be one of us. So give us a break please!

That's what I would do. Find a nice used one. Still plenty of warranty left, and almost half the price of new. That is unless you can find a ssssssssmokin' deal somewhere.We just bought an 07 GMC Denali in January for $31K ... Sticker was $58KIt was a year and a half old, with 22K on the clock ... Used, but in excellent shape.
That should give you a ball park on what to ask/do.
Those Denalis are nice, btw.

I couldnt agree more BUUT all it takes is ONE member to cry about it and this will disappear and bans will be handed out. Its not a majority rule type deal on forums. If one person gets offended then everyone else should be punished..lol sad but true apparantly
It sucks, but that's the way it is.

I like number 8, and 11.
People just need to see it for what it is, humor. Sure there are lots of things wrong with our country, and there are certain values that we should return to. But, since that ain't gonna happen anytime soon let's laugh a little. -
Let me rephrase that. The only ones that won AI. Chris didn't actually win, but was probably the best thing to happen to him.

Dude!!I got the employees price on a x-fer case and it was $535. I didn't really need one but I got it anyway. Since then they stopped offering the employee price.
That's cheap.

Hmmmm...... lol.gb on xfer cases?? lol -
Stuck at work, and bored out of my freakin' mind. Anyone else stuck at work?

You're definitely dating yourself there.The 67-72's are the All Time Classics's in my book. I remember everyone complaining about the 73's and how ugly the "new body style" was when they first came out, dang...I'm old!
I'm probably not too far off of you. I remember the change in 73, too. I like the 73-87, but my favorite is 67-72.

Her and Kelly Clarkson are the only ones that have gone to a great career after AI.Carrie Underwood is the only winner that's really hit it huge and rightfully so. She is great. -
They the old design Dynatech headers except the cats are hollow. That's the only thing that bothers me, as I want to stay 50 state legal on emissions.

Sorry to hear that, Brad. Keep us posted on the results.
Just be glad you have a 2WD.

I had a teal green 94 before my SS. I miss that truck sometimes. It was done up pretty similar to your 94.
I hope to have mine paid off in a year or less. I'm trowing a big f'n party that day.

I agree with what he said. Sometimes we need to step back, and look at the direction in which we're heading. I don't think anyone hates you. You're young and full of life, as we all were at one point in our life. Believe me I've done stupid, as I'm sure we all have. I think it takes a big man to admit when the need to step back, and reevaluate their life. You seem to have a good core set of values, so I think you'll be fine. Best of luck.Vidal, what happened man? Impound? I'm speechless. Dude, you're a good person. We all make bad and stupid choices believe me I do daily. I respect your choice stop posting but read the things you wrote. You realize you made a mistake, you are taking action to change yourself and that shows maturity and character which you have! Dude I'm seriouly speechless, hope you're ok. Let us know.....
I'm Back...what'd I Miss
