Ok I won't show the video but you can find it on Youtube
Here is the story and I think it funny what they did.
It's too bad they are going to get disciplined over the stunt.

Read the story and do a quick Youtube search.

They do make a little but louder of a whistle than the 03's do.
But they are cool.

Here is the the turbine of my neighbors. We have an oil pressure issue. Not a low issue but an excessively high issue. We got 20lbs on spool up and at idle saw as much as 120lbs. There has to be some blockage somewhere.

I have a paper copy of part of the manual here somewhere.
I would bet that the regulator is stuck.

We pulled the regulator and it seemed good/clean. Had the oil pump out (upper an lower) and it seemed fine. We did have the o-rings come apart and replaced them. We spent some time video chatting with Seth that had a backbone torn down so we could make sense of the oil route. The block diagram from the manual was not very helpful. The thought is to start putting air to various parts to see if we can figure out if the turbine or hot section might have a blockage.

Did you know that prior to the invention of the first tooth paste that people would gargle their morning urine to clean their teeth?? The high concentration of ammonia would kill bacteria and bleach the teeth white. Since this was mainly performed by people of a "higher social status" it lead to the term "your showing your class" to be said when people would smile.

The first origins of a paste version is said to have been used as early as Ancient Egypt. few scholars have said to replicate the mix scribed in ancient etchings and found them comparable to some of the more modern versions. however they did note a downside to its use. In addition to a burning sensation when in use it also had the result of bleeding gums.. while this effect was only temporary the scholars noted that they were left with a feeling of clean teeth afterwards.

it is highly debated as to the origins of the more modern "commercial" versions of toothpast which was sold/traded in jars.. some state it was as early as 4th century AD.. others say the 6th.. more commercialized versions such as what is used today can date back more to 1873 when colgate began marketing the first commercial BRAND...

Eww! Normally this type of claim sends me googling for more info, but somehow I just don't want to know this time!

Now so we can all forget that mental image, here's our latest addition She's either 6 months early or 6 months late, but we've forgiven her.

Can't get anymore off topic than this i think.
What's your alternative ride? Here's my junk boxes. Ha, sorry no other Ford's right now.

The wife's. I know it's a GM but with a 6.2L 400+hp AWD I like it, alot. I try to justify an Edelbrock super charger kit but she's not seeing it.

87 zuki on 35x12.5's w/5.12r&p & 6:1 tcase.

Old pic from 96 of my 65. Now it sits better than halfway through a restoration. I have 4 years to finish it before my son starts to drive. Of course I'll have to de-tune it a bit.


Almost forgot about my old faithful backup truck. 94 Dakota 5.2L stocker.

it was a pretty common practice well through the age of the roman empire.. there are many that still do this for the same reasons.. in addition there has been strives in medical research that are finding its been beneficial for other reasons as well. many herbal supplements and beauty care products contain small amounts of urine.

and yes i use to be a very bored individual at one point in time..
