Jefferson is about an hour north of desmiones. I will e-mail you about the engine price, because i think that is against forum rules, but to be safe. So about our little singdig. Is Pella alright with everyone? and fordloverf2501970 I could bring that motor down if we have it, otherwise we could work something out.

I was listening to some radio show the other day and i heard in some third world country where there's one vehicle for about 30 people, gas per US gallon was about $.60! and in china it's equal to about $5 US dollars! Of course those barely gas sipping ricers can probably get 45 mpg anyway. I love my gas guzzler anyway.

There was also some other big math guy who figured out that in the 80's when gas prices jumped to $.75, it would be like our prices now jumping to $3.

It's about $1.70 or so around here.

Hey..I live in Oskaloosa. If this Pella thing gets decided on, I'll drive on up there. I've always wanted to stop up there, myuncle knows the guy personally...he tried to sell my uncle a Jeep packing a corvette LS-1 and 6-speed transmission....O_O.

I'll swallow my pride and pull up with my M5OD-leaking, hood-rusted beast =).

My truck doesn't leak oil..but for those of you who do....

Guy> Hey..your truck is leaking oil
You> Yea..is just sweating from dropping so much torque - what the **** is your car's problem?

Sorry for the cursing..but my friend did that with his big Bronco..some guy mentioned it and said that to him - funny as anything.
