To me, it seems like more of an attempt to boost post count (in some cases.) And in other cases, it's to try to get comments and interactions going in slow forums. A lot of us have varying opinions at this point, we'll sit back and see which way it seems to go...
And as for life keeping us busy, that's the truth! I can't seem to catch a break and haven't been posting as much lately, though I still try to read as many posts as I can. Seems I spend all my time chasing a dollar, and more often than not, failing to catch it!

I was in the tinkering mood yesterday. I went to the local parts house, and $36 later, I eliminated the old glasspacks. Now I have dual str8 pipe. It's not too bad at idle, and you can hear the cam better. When I get on it.....deafening.
Just gotta be careful where I do that.
Here's the vid of it. I just made it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yH5iE7RCgHI

souunds schweeeet .
over on the falcon site, we had a guy that went wild with a 200 he had in a 63 convertable.
when he got done with it, it sounded better than a 5.0 mustang..
and kicked quite a few mustangs butts out on the street and track too.

wow... I am out of commission for a week and find we are on the third page. 
Good to see everyone chatting... except for the post hog spammers.
I see there is a possible g2g on aug 6th in Port Costa. Sounds like fun.
I am still putting in 60+ hours of work per week, but hope that will get lighter by next month. If it doesn't I will probably wear out.
Haven't started the truck in two weeks plus and need to.

Hey everyone 
Hope you had a great weekend. We went to the race track & practiced today. What a rush! I actually got to try it for myself, instead of doing the medic thing. Ofcourse, I brought my medical stuff just incase, but I didn't need to use it.
Time to kick back, relax, & have a cold one!

Dan.....I do understand...it is common knowledge that Steve ( sddesigns) wants to be first to 100000 posts, and he has no competition so not sure why it is that important ...but ....as for the rest IMO posting to follow a "post" behind it is OK ...blind not linked I agree it is odd.
...and no doubt I am guilty of that at sometime
We actually believe it is, which for a state that is dryer then a popcorn fart....it is great...last night at my house here we got 3/4 of an inch.....it looks like maybe the fire is going to get drowned within a month...then we will have the floods for 175 thousand burnt acres in the mountains....hum...
