    WTF with ga$ price$?

    Thats a pretty chilling pic and story. Smart move on your part to boogie when you did. I wonder how many of those cars had a loaded firearm in them. It is Texas after all. Every other?

    WTF with ga$ price$?

    I'm assuming everyone knows there is only a finite amount of useable crude in the ground right? We may not have tapped into single every avaible source but we sure have gotten to all the easy ones, and some of the really hard ones too. I agree that todays price jumps are artifical, but you...

    WTF with ga$ price$?

    When I was in high school we were happy if we could just GET gas. There were numerous assaults and even a shooting or two at the gas pumps. If you dont remember, there was a "shortage". We could only get gas on either odd or even days, depending at what digit your plate ended with. You'd...

    WTF with ga$ price$?

    Before long we'll have a forum dedicated to putting V6's back in our G bodies! Seriously, the future is electric. Our problem is how we make electricity. We really do need to start building brand new nuke plants, and fast too. The rest of the world is way ahead of us on this. We've grown up...

    Who that? Trevor Bayne?!

    Sorry, hate is too strong a word. Dislike would be better. And like I said, I've seen him stick cars in some spots I didnt believe was possible. Same with his saves. He's had some beauties. I really do think he's the best driver out there, but he's also taken out so many of my favorite...

    Who that? Trevor Bayne?!

    Alright, two guys I cant stand, Montoya and Kyle Busch, and keep in mind I think K busch may be the best driver I've ever seen, but I hate the guy. Did you notice how they made some really amazing saves? And then you have Junior, he didnt even turn his wheel when his car was heading straight...

    Who that? Trevor Bayne?!

    It was weird for awhile. Almost looked like a local fairgrounds trailer race, with cars bolted to each other. In the end, it was probably better plate racing than years past as they could spread out as needed. Trevor is cool as chit! Austin Dillon is another guy who is going to shake things...

    Sea Foam question . . .

    I love the stuff, but I would be careful and use as directed. You do NOT want to soaking anything with rubber on it for too long. But it does clean out a carb just by having it in your fuel.

    I'm thinking about a Big Block

    What are your 60' times and mph at the stripe? A loose converter and short gears might get you in the 11's right now.

    What's your most 'ghetto-rigged' repair/mod on your car?

    I had this happen when got in a cab in Santa Domingo! They pick you up at the dock and squeeze 8 people into some ancient datsun and away you go. We needed a push start to get the car going but they had guys on the docks just for that purpose, and then the rain and string wipers from pilot to...

    Best Of Both worlds

    Yep, its out there already. But why not take advantage of the iron block 6.0 and 6 bolt mains that come with them? I hear they'll handle big HP without bursting at the seams.

    Corvette wheels on G-bodies

    I'll have to get take some pics but yes, I have those wheels on my Cutlass. Mine are sprayed silver and I put Oldsmobile decals on the center caps. I have 275/50's in the rear and I think 225/60's in the front. Its sits nice and low. I measured 4 inch back space so it does come awfully close...

    Customs Picture Gallery

    That bugandy Monte SS is dope! So is that GNX clone with some huge azz meats!! I love the paint on some of these cars but I tend to love stock interiors. The biggest rims I've really liked are plain old 20's. But thats just me. Some of the same guys who build their cars so radically that...

    RANT!! Outrageous prices to paint my 84 hurst!!

    They make it look soooo easy on Overhaulin'!! 2 days tops and they're all done. Most reputable painters on the forums I belong to for bikes figure you'll spend $4-500 for just materials! On a gas tank, side panels and fenders! One color!! If you're thinking about spending $3500-4000 I would...

    Too loud. Need help

    Am I the only one who likes to sleep with the windows open? I made my own kid quiet down his own car because it would wake me when he came home, and I know he was trying to be quiet! Being neighbors and hearing it night after night is different from hearing a car drive by once. None of my...

    Best looking G-body?

    I really like the 80-81 Malibu's. I love squarish cars, early Falcons, Novas' and Darts. The Malibus remind me of those cars but more modern.

    Budget paint job (250.00)

    I'm all the way in Massachusetts and it looks good to me! I spend that taking the family out to dinner four times so its money well spent in my book! Did you do the masking as well? Did they get paint on the rubber trim and stuff? How about door jambs, is that extra? I like it.
