Hey Mike lol
I can't say I know what that feels like LMAO

Also why not hook slot one bolt on the starter too or key hole one bolt on it, would be really nice. Everytime I jack with a starter it gives me some sort of problem going back with the new one. The last one I changed on my truck came off easy and then when I was going back I started with the top bolt (thinking it would be a pain) and used a philips in the btm hole to align it. Hell it went right in, put a couple of threads in it and would'nt you know it the btm bolt would not align to save my azz. So off with the top bolt and then did the btm and then the top bolt was still easy. Mine just has the 2 bolts some have 3.

Does it shift and drive alright any how with the diff vss? Also we have to watch it Chris is practicing being a moderator on this thread. So I need to complain that hes doing too much moderation to keep him from hammering me.

Just funnin Chris

I think these A-holes need us coming around and protesting at their Family grave sites as well.

Westboro Baptist Church to speak on local radio | The Augusta Chronicle

Theres a few states trying to get some law in place to stop fanitical A-holes like this. I sure hope they get one soon. Let them come down to Texas and we have the Brazoria County Cavalry that will not stand for any of that bull-----. The BCC is very simular to the Patriot Guard.

brazoriacountycavalry.org

Anyone esle as fond of this radical idiots as I am?
I think they need to be hit by a big bull dog mack doing 75. =D thats my opinion of those spineless stupid A-holes, and I forget where it is in the bible but its about how God does not condem a solider for doing his job and servining his country.
