Man, I have no clue.
carbs aren't my thing.

I run a forum of my own (totally unrelated to Ford trucks), and I think it was last year that we created a "Newbie" user group. This group can't create topics, but can post in them. They were able to PM at first, but after some fellow joined and started spamming people about buying DVDs, we took away the PMing privilege til the Newbie reaches 25 posts. Once they reach that many, they're automatically promoted to the regular Member status with full PMing and posting priviliges. And chances are that if they make 25 legit posts, then we can be pretty sure they're not going to start spamming. As far as this site, newbies shouldn't be able to negatively rep someone, since there's that possibility that the system could be abused. Just my two cents.

And you know what I think about that other thing.

In other news, it has been scientifically proven that socks lost in the dryer end up in Narnia.

And shortly I'm going to go and air up the tire on my truck (has a slow leak), and start it up.

Yes, I should have left it and let it blow over, but I lost it and told him what I really thought ( in the neg rep message ) and It got him all pissed off at me.

Fansite. Check your PM box

I started my truck around 20 minutes ago....and I noticed that when I rev it, it's like the highest it wants to go is about 2,000RPM. I can gun it several times in a row, and it won't barely go past 2K. Of course, I'm not flooring it by any means, but in the past if I revved it a number of times in a row, I could hit 3K with no problem.

I cannot wait til I get that spare carb rebuilt.

I had it in first, I got a little carried away.
Josh + tunnel/bridges + glasspack muffler + boredom = 60 in 1st gear!

Something tells me these trucks don't have a rev limiter?

Just popped a 1GB stick of RAM into my computer...I am noticing many, many differences.

I had 256MB before. Now I have 1GB + 256MB.

Uhhhh okay?

1.2GB isn't that much compared to what's the norm nowadays....shoot, low-end computers from Walmart have two and three GB from the factory. :P

I was saying it mostly as sarcasm, I know how a lot of guys like to compete
with each other over just about anything. That + I'm bored, sitting at work and
waiting for the phone to ring. BUT it is now 6:00, I'm outta here now!

We give out 'doze desktops wit 2GB RAM here where I work; the curernt Linux
towers that Engineering uses have 4 GB, the next generation will have 8.

Time to go home!
