Lisa - Naaaahhh, no way! Me? Offended? You must really think I'm tender to get offended over that AND like little foo-foo chicks! Just 'cuz I haven't gotten all dirty-flirty with ya doesn't mean you're not my type

that pic Dan posted has a Z/28 front end on it, I believe from 70 or 71. The front bumpers are "nerf" style IIRC on the name, and look MUCH better than the full-length bumper. After '70 the Mustangs REALLY look like turds to me, especially the Mustang II....

Mike - sorry to hear about your kids, but at least they seem to have a handle on it!

It's gorgeous out so I think I'm taking the pups for a drive, then let 'em poop in the woods!! Have fun all!

Lisa, it's my brothers ex-g/f's dog...she wasnt sposed to be coming, they must have changed their mind last minute

any dog would need to jump a 6' fence before using my doggy door to get in.
Verizon has a phone that is waterproof until like 20 meters or something like that. I know plenty of people who have one and have taken pics of themselves under water in a pool.

It was a POS. The front end is gone; the gauges, interior, lights everything worth a damn was gone. I turned the engine by hand, but the heads were off so I can't imagine it's all that great. The rear half of the frame was rusted beyond belief. The whole electrical system was gone, the distributor doesn't get spark, he said.
NOT restorable at all, scrap yard material. Told him to sell the engine on Craigs and call the scrap yard, they'll give him $150 for it.
And he told me it was in good shape, not too bad at all... my azz it was. I HATE when people mask the truth. Like I wasn't going to find out?

My brother has a trailer, but that pretty much sums it up. The gas I'd spend wouldn't be worth it.

Maybe you are tender!! lol

Well I found a piece of lead burned into my face today. Actually the last time I went shooting, the .44 was blowing back at me (didnt like the powder in the reloads I was using). At the time I noticed I was bleeding a little but didnt think much of it.

SO I was getting ready this morning and noticed it, about 1" from my eye right where the edge of my sunglasses sit. Tried to get it out but only made myself bleed.

I'm going to go out and play for a bit, gotta go buy a birthday gift. Have a good day everyone.

No decel tune, I already have my own setup for TC lookup and EBPV as a brake.

My grandpa had nearly this car, just green with a 351C. He traded it in, on a (sorry Lisa) 350Z Nissan. I love my grandpa, but WTF????You do not trade in a Mustang on a Nissan Z, its wrong, there should be a law.

Wish I could help. I'm gonna have to meet up with you someday, or maybe you could come here while I have a cool project going and I'll hire you for a bit. That would be fun.

90 sounds so good. We're lucky if we see 85 next week, then that will be about it. I'm actually growing fond of the heat lately, no idea why. Even thought of relocating, but I'd miss the green around here.

one of the drivers never showed up, so i did double duty in both the trailer and a tri-axle.

And I'm home and still feel like crap. My throat feels better, but my nose is more stuffed than Kanye West's crotch.

And for those of you interested in a durable phone may I suggest the G'z one Boulder? http://www.billshrink.com/assets/pho...izon_Black.png

Mine is identical to that one. I've dropped it from pretty decent heights a few times and I guarantee it's crush proof to 160 pounds or so. (sat on mine on cement) I don't think it's too bad for texting even without a full keyboard like some phones have. It's got a camera and it is supposed to be waterproof although the most I've tested that is being in my pocket in the rain. Sometimes it can be a little tough to understand someone on a call if they hold the phone far away and/or are pretty sick.

It does come with a pretty hefty pricetag though. Fortunately for me dad got this one and hated it so he traded phones with me and I love this phone. I'm a phone killer and this one is well into year 2 by now.
