  1. I was the first one here to get an ASC Inalfa roof. R8rs4lf was the second I haven't had any problem whatsoever with it.
  2. I use Firefox as well, and it has a gr8 new plugin called Adblock Plus, for free download. Best popup blocker I have seen
  3. I'm in Cali, but we have a family beach house at Seagrove...Eating places: The Crab Trap, Goatfeathers in Santa Rosa Beach, Pandora's in Grayton Beach which is just off 30A, Lucky Snapper in Destin. Also try to find the Red Bar in Grayton Beach-nice place for lunch and a few hurricanes Im going in Septermber--too hot down there for me right now. But I know u r having fun in one of my favorite places Cheers
  4. Beater 1 - 90 model Celica ST - cost $300 - sold last week for $1000 Beater 2 - 91 model Celica GTS-cost $1150 with 96000 original mileage. They are fried rice, but they are pretty tough cars and lots of fun around town. I still drive the SS whenever I have to go out of town.

    454 SS

    My 454SS was sweet, but my SSS is faster.
  6. I don't think they are original stock, more like a dealer-supplied accessory. I've seen a lot of Escalades and never saw those rims before. I like the 20's that came on the Escalade ESV Platinum Edition. Same size as our stock wheel. Very hard to get though. If a center cap could be fabricated with a bowtie on it I would like those. Here is what they look like: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/20-ESCALADE...bayphotohosting I'm thinking about some new wheels myself...OZ Canyon ST 22"
  7. My brother is color changing a red one to white-its about 1/3 done atm I would have bought a white one if they had offered it.
  8. Have you had any damage to your bed that would cause it to not close right?
  9. That's great to hear on this site-that someone has stayed loyal to their SSS and been rewarded for it. Congrats
  10. It sure was, valve guides and head gaskets. That was the down side. Up side is 15 years later I bet I can still have the heads and intake off in a half hour
  11. I used to work on those when they were new. If it's a 3.0 with a 604 automatic, I would check for a vacuum leak, then ck air filter and throttle body-clean as necessary. Ck plugs & wires, fuel pressure and filter. There are sensors that go bad but they usually set off the SES light. And that three-cycles of the key should give you your DTC's. Expect a code 12 and a 55, with your DTC's in between. Oh and a bad speed sensor (or bad connector) can also cause a 3.0 to stall or almost stall...but it starts right back up easily. Hope one of these helps you out.
  12. Dude, I remember MY 454SS I remember a lot of Jagermeister I remember going outside one 'morning after' and wondering just where I had left my back tires at, cause they were _gone_. Sorry you had to learn a tough lesson, and hope it all works out okay.
  13. I drove one to Vegas in January. It was pretty gutless, but overall a nice drive.
  14. Heh, that's pretty unusual The blue would be way illegal for street use in CA.
  15. If you had the bulbs out before, make sure the bulb holders are all the way clicked in on the lamp assembly. When mine got moisture in them, I would take the bulbs out and let the truck sit for couple of hours, and it would look good again.
  16. If he is stock, you should wax him. 350 LT1-derivative can't touch an LQ9. It would shock him more if you had the awd launch capability though.
  17. Here ya go-.-.-.click the pic to zoom in http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v660/den...pg?t=1176468445
  18. I still like Impalas and Monte Carlos. Good on gas, cheap to fix, maybe a little boring but still pretty good cars for not much money.
  19. Saturday in the US was Easter Down Under. I took my kid to the Telstra Tower and the Australian National Museum in Canberra ACT Well, it was something different... 4real it was one of the most awesome days we ever had together. Then yesterday we rode that red SS almost 600 kms...traffic was murder.
  20. Hey! Looks like someone besides me remembers the 850i They are just a little too overengineered for me is all. Nah, for real. Its important to drive whatever you want...every vehicle is a pile of nuts and bolts, and they all have their problems.
  21. So, after 4/50 you just throw it away, right? I didn't say they weren't good cars, just that _I_ don't want one. I can drive anything I want to, and I still don't want one. Y'all need to quit hating. Oh, and what is the tow rating on that M3? Thought so...
  22. So, paying over $2,500.00 for every major service is okay? Do you like $300.00 oil changes? How about 1.5 hours of labor for each wheel on a brake job? Chris Bangle's designs are uninspiring. The cars are well made, and micro-edge precise. Their level of precision makes them extremely fragile. The servicing costs are the main reason you will never see me driving one. It's a nice fast car, but that is all. I will keep my truck and buy a G8 GT, because it will be the only import that has LS power.
