Those were the days

So just for fun I'm digging through some old posts and finding some funny stuff. I thought this might be a fun happy hour project. So from time to time, when I stumble across a classic old post that totally reveals the corruption this forum has caused me (or others) I'm going to post it up. If anyone else finds such a post be sure to put it in this thread. It's all kind of funny in retrospect.

4.56 and 40's . . .

Thats some funny stuff. The interesting thing is what are you going to be like three years from now? You'll be looking back "2.5 rockwells, and a 900hp stroker motor....how quaint"

Sometimes I do some offroading though to get the mail. As long as the rims are triple dipped, thats the thing! Also, I don't have a front driveline on my truck (why do they put those there? The rear wheels do the driving, duh!) but I was wondering if somebody makes a pink or green neon light that could go in its place. That would be XTR3ME! Finally, I'd like to chrome all of my body panels. Anybody know if they make a home kit? Thanks guys...I'm going back to finish The Fast and the Furious for the eleventyzillionth time now.
Buddy, you HAVE come a long ways
