The reason i bought the tuna can(suzuki) back in June, was because my fuel bill in march was $1400, april was $1750, and May was $1600.

You've got a Kan-o'-tuna?? SWEET!! I had a 750 years ago. I helped a guy put an oil-cooled GSX-R1100 engine up in a 600 chassis. Basically just left off the lowers, tweaked the piping, and you had a nice little sleeper...

RIGHT!!! I remember now! funny though, his "tuna can" comment had me laughing HARD!! oh, and that bike was wicked fast too. the guy made a bunch of money racing it for a while because it looked like a beater & had "600" stickers on it. Suckers!

I sold a couple guys the engine out of my CBR600. They built a cart around it. It had the potential for about 120mph.... just think, a 6-speed, 100hp, ram-air go-kart that was home built...

Uhh hey guys. Back from my test. I scored a 184 on the reading section and a 182 on the math section. I won't know the writing part of the test until they score my essay.

I guess thats pretty good, since the top score you can get is a 190! I'm pretty happy with that, seeing as how I haven't been in college for 4 years....and I didn't study for this test. Apparently you're supposed to study for it, and I didn't know that until this morning when I started the test. Oops.

I was almost late for it..which is bad because I paid $180 to take this freakin thing. I almost ran out of gas in Randy's Jeep on the way there. :-)

How is everyone else's day going? Nice pull there Pat!!!

Well, I'm sitting at the dealership, waiting to find out how much my..........




















"free oil changes for life is going to cost me"


It's not the PSD, it's time for a oil change in our Nissan minivan.

I would have to say it's a pretty sweet shop and they have four desktops in the waiting area, so I can puruse FTE.

How everyone doing?
