Replaced the PCV Valve, the old one you could blow air both ways through it. Cleaned the MAF sensor and Throttle body..And decided to see if i could fix my overhead display, which i did. I became a supporter of this site because of all the valuable information everyone has provided. I can't even tell you what kind of bill the Dealership would have racked up on me if i asked them to do these things for me. Thanks FTE and I'm glad to be a supporter! Now where's my T-Shirt?

Don't drive in the dark, unless you readjust your headlights!

You need bigger wheels/tires, at least on the rear. Lol

Thread fumigated.

Please remember guys, from the sticky thread at the top....

Forum Troll Defined:

3. Forum Troll- An obnoxious user or member on a forum that goes out of their way to make pointless, offensive, or annoying posts and messages. Often these users are labeled as spammers and will post random off-topic junk in many sections of a forum.

http://www.urbandictionary.com/defin...rm=forum+troll (third definition fits)

4. Forum troll- Trolls are people who want to get on your nerves. They will usually lurk around the forums and wait for an opportunity to annoy or attack a user. The best way to ignore a troll is not to flame back, but to report and move on. Trolls are no good and should be exiled.

If a user's posts fit either one of the top definitions, the simplest way to avoid enraging yourself and aiding the offending user in sending the Thread off topic is to add that user to your "ignore list".

Just go to your User Control Panel and from the menu on the left, look at the last item under "Settings and Options" which is "Edit Ignore List". Click on that and you can enter a user's name that you would like to ignore, and then that user's posts won't show up for you.

When you respond to a troll, you are adding fuel to a fire that will consume the Thread in question and destroy it. I've had to edit and in some cases close and delete threads that were and perfectly good before trolling started.
If peeps wanna argue, take it to PM's.

Lemme add one last thing, if you're joking, making a humorous statement, or just adding a little levity to something someone posted, I suggest making sure it's very clear you're trying to be funny, otherwise whatever rep you may have, can and will color the perception of your post and how some people may receive it.

This weekend had been car show's, a wedding, lots of eating! Biggest show in the state was today down town on the park strip, i didn't take many pictures but i was glad my Grandfather, Father and I were all able to get some of the cars to the show. They had at least a few hundred cars show up it was great.

Also last night some friends of mine got married and asked me to take them from the reception to the hotel in our '56 Bel-Air so i made it happen for them. Here she was parked right in front of the reception.
