Mornin.
July already? :look:
I know, right?
In. So I stopped by Koons Ford in Sterling VA this past Sunday to look at a few GT500s on the lot. Nice cars...all priced a little over 67k as the final MSRP. Then, I noticed a separate sticker that stated "Adjusted Market Value + $5,000, total price 72k". GO. FUCK. YOURSELVES. Those cars should be priced in the 50s.
this video never gets old...

2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat gets 707 horsepower, shows off in new video - AutoweekQuote:
Dodge just announced that the 2015 Challenger SRT Hellcat will deliver 707 hp, in addition to 650 lb-ft of torque. Let us repeat. 707 horsepower. That's more than the last Corvette ZR1. More than the new Corvette Z06. Did we mention that's more than the frickin' Viper's V10?
Township meeting this evening. :(
Meh. Still a fat pigQuote:

Morning. :)
Mornin. One more day
Morning, on my way to upstate NY. Say what you want about the Challengers, it's a nice car. Have you seen the interiors? Chrysler is doing a great job. Ford fucked up 2015. Is it a Mustang or a Fusion? I can't tell...
I agree 100%...except for the mustang fusion comparison lol I think it looks more like a honda accord...Quote:

Today is our 15th wedding anniversary. We were married in Dawn's parents' front yard on probably the hottest day of the year in 1999. It was sunny and humid that morning so we actually started the ceremony a little earlier than planned in an attempt to beat some of the heat. Of course, I chose black tuxes for myself and the groomsmen to wear that day. :)
Mornin.
Happy anniversary to you and Dawn, Jeff!
Happy anniversary Jeff!Quote:

What did you end up finding?
The tubes to the rear unit were rubbing against the underbody in the area of the rear wheel well. Just going to cap off the lines and have front AC only.
I guess I'll jump on the train this month.
:wall:
Supposed to be a cooler day. Looks like I'll be taking a ride on the mower at some point.
Just cut all the base trim for the upstairs foyer. I came up short on my paint lines by the heater so I'll have to touch those in on each side.
:tumbleweed:
Wow, you'd think it was a holiday or something around here.
Happy 4th everyone. Be safe.
:usa:
Got a couple racks of baby backs on the smoker goin' for lunch.
Getting ready to head up to New York for the weekend, so I'll be out till Monday. Be safe and have a great weekend everybody!
Now remember while you're out there celebrating all this bicentennial brew haha. What you're really celebrating is that a bunch of aristocratic white men didn't want to pay their taxes
I'm still learning this Dominator EFI, it's fairly intuitive, I think I'll be able to pick it up quickly. There's definitely some bugs to work out on the tune :) Enjoy! Many more to come over the next few weeks.

That's DEFINITELY the new Trans Am. Pontiac is still making these cars, good to see that they are still in business. Say, does Dodge still make the Mustang?Quote:

Good to hear it running, Ron. Is stuff still being installed, or are you in the process of buttoning it all up now?
Lost my comment, again.
I'm in the process of getting the wiring all tucked up and organized, ready for cage install. Surprising, didn't have many glitches with the wiring. Car started right up for the most part!
Still have the Jakes Stage 5 4L80E / D3 trans brake, MWC Fab 9", Viking DA coilovers, Nasty Nate fuel system / Fabricated sumped tank, and 8 point MWC cage...
So, yea... we're still installing :lol: The car running(idling) under a completely new vehicle management system with a pair of turbos is a huge accomplishment for me. Never done anything like this before!

Afternoon
http://i584.photobucket.com/albums/s...psdxidnqlk.jpg
this has been the start of my vacation....
Might be time for new tractor...
Ours is now 15 years old, the charging system went out on it 2 or 3 years ago, the front axle is welded up and has been re-constructed with miscellaneous parts including a hose clamp, and now its throwing drive belts for no apparent reason.
Here's another view

At the office for a bit this morning.
Looks good. When you're done feel free to come to Dover and redo the screen framing on mine. I can pay in boozeQuote:

Thoughts on this one? Craftsman 48 Turn Tight Garden Tractor: Tame the Big Yard with Sears
Methinks that the new alternator on the Regal is not charging.
My Dad and Brother got this one and I love it, thing cuts great, turns tight, and has the option to back up with the mower on( a lot won't unless you turn it off). Home Depot sell these but I heard they are a cheaper model. They both bought from a Cub Dealer. It's also cheaper.Quote:

Not sure why it posted twice but it did
Just got home from New York. 'Twas a good weekend Tater!
That is cheaper than the Craftsman. Hmmm.
On the second test ride, the Regal alternator decided to start charging. Not a clue...
I'll just take the entire headache off your hands Jeff
Morning.
Appreciate the offer, but I think I'll just take two Advil instead. :)
Mornin.
Morning, hope everyone had a great 4th
Other than a picnic on Saturday at the in-laws' it was a non-stop work bee. Need to go to work so I can relax a bit!
gone fishing....
back to work :(

Got a wild hair up my ass and decide to buy a lightly used Corvette over the weekend. 2005 model, Red (Precision Red I think) with Tan (Cashmere?) interior, LS2/M6 with 19,8xx miles on it. Still looks new outside and smells new inside.
Lots of new things to learn about this car but it's a blast to drive!
Congrats!
You're that old now Jim?
:wall:
Pics or it didn't happen. :lol:Quote:

Thanks, Leon. I'll keep that in mind if this does not work out. There is a wiring difference between the turbo and non-turbo Regals. Hoping that is the issue and that the one I am picking up tomorrow will work.
I would've put the money in the '67 :dunno:Quote:
