Don't feel hypocritical,Brendan. Everyone is different, call it being spritiual, religious, giving good mojo, it all means the same just different names. The main thing is that you have a ton of friends that are here for you......and your dad! That itself is a comfort all in it's self. I know this first hand.

Ok funny story time,

I have an ad on Craigslist trying to sell a brand new washer and dryer. Well I have been getting the usual bs emails and so on. I get an email from some woman asking for pics of them so I sent them to her. She replies back the next day asking more questions. So I ansewr those. She then asks me how firm the price is. I send an email back to her and say that I'll take a resonable offer. I just checked my email and she sends back a nude pic of herslf asking if we can negotiate the price......This woman is let's say a tad bit on the nasty side......Needless to say the washer and dryer are still for sale. Some people have no scruples at all!
That is great! I need to see what I can put on CL from my parents place and see what kinda offer I get! lol

Ok so here's my question. I've been watching Bridezilla. WHO would marry this fat horrible cow?



Bridezillas Episode 8: Dawn - Bridezillas - WE tv Videos - WEtv.com
Remember when I said I would cripple the guy who engineered those headlight clips...well I think I would go a little farther with her. Choking on her dang doughnut is goin out a lot better what I had in mind!

Hey, Tyler.

Just to get back to last night's V10 or 7.3 discussion.

If you're going to be towing then a 7.3 will get double to triple the fuel mileage a V10 gets. From what I've heard V10s get approx. 5mpgs when towing. That's the same as what our Class 8 Macks get and their GVWR is 80,000 pounds.

Also on that 5,000$ V10 you found. Everything is priced the way it is for a reason.

Yes the truck market is down. Yes it sounds like a good deal IN THEORY. However a gasser doesn't have half the lifespan of a diesel.

Everything is priced the way it is for a reason.

Yah, I've actually been looking at some 7.3s, and might have to wait a while if I go that route, but you guys do make a good argument. I've never had trouble atracting the ladies either, but a little help never hurt anyone

I'll try to keep my eyes open for more 7.3s but there aren't alot for sale around here. Alot more 6.0L

Those figures are off a might.Actually the two V-10s I towed with got a little better milage loaded than I do and with stock tuning on both think the V-10 is close to the same power
The PSD is easier on fuel empty

Haha, well. I'm afraid if I get a 7.3 I might go a little mod happy too. I tend to get carried away with stuff, and I have alot of experience around turbo cars, but diesels not soo much.

Just wanted to post a pic of that Subway/Taco Bell where that guy was murdered Saturday. There are flowers taking up like 4 parking spots where he was killed. Really sad. I couldnt get the dang flowers cuz the light turned green!

The other picture...well I was really excited to see Sams carrying the 36 packs again and just had to take a pic! haha


Hope everyone had a great Monday!
