  1. I would think they are already under contract for the royalty's if the land is already being drilled? If not, sit on it.
  2. The more i revisit the 80's hairband era, the more I find myself listening to bands I never would of listened to back in the day. Is cool though, get new old stuff to listen too.
  3. Curious how long before airline ticket prices are affected by the price drop in fuel.
  4. Anything exciting?!
  5. Sound better in which way? Clarify and we can help you get the amp that will "sound better". A watt is a watt is a watt. An amp with weak components will peter out and not be putting out clean rated power. If you buy a Hifonics 2000watt amp and it will only do 1500watts clean power, you cant compare it to an underrated amp such as the Sundown thats putting out a solid clean 2000+watts. Of course the one will sound better, its putting out more clean watts. I am all for a violent sub that pressurizes the cabin. Just because a sub has a 2000watt rms rating does not mean it wont sound stellar on half that power. The enclosure plays a big part in this. Look up hoffmans iron law. Using the largest enclosure you can will net the most efficient setup (power wise), while still getting loud.
  6. Not going to happen quickly. The arabs have to kill Russia and North Dakota first. Ain't obama putting in some kind of damn pipeline or something?I'm sure they will raise the gas prices to pay for it Pipeline from Canadian fields to gulf refinery's. Built with foreign steel at that. Not gonna help much.
  7. I believe it will take a few years before the price of oil really starts climbing back up. Would guess it will be close to 10 years before it gets back over 100 a barrel.
  8. Curious why you want steel toes for school J? I had a pair of Redwings that lasted forever doing concrete and masonry. Granted I haven't wore a pair of steel toes in 15 years, so can't vouch for them now.
  9. I can't believe some ppl are actually bitching about lower gas prices.
  10. I said 2000watts is 2000watts, not an amp is an amp. A watt is a watt is watt is a watt is a watt. There is NO amp that puts out MAGIC WATTS!!! If you think there is then I have a unicorn you should buy from me. You may of heard a difference from two different amplifiers, but was nothing magical. One was either more efficient, had the correct subsonic filter, was dialed in correctly, had the correct electrical upgrades in the car. etc. Without YOU knowing what it was that made the one amp sound better, it really does no good for comparison. There are many reasons to buy one amp over another. The most important would be it has the right features/functions for YOUR setup. Other reasons could be it fits in the space you are mounting it, has the hook ups in the right locations for your install. etc I believe the SSA EVIL has a 4" coil also AND a way lower FS than the Soundqubed. If your liking the Soundqubed, the next step would be figure out the enclosure size and see how it will fit in your ride. Just like a small sub in the right box sounding better vs a big sub in the wrong box. A 1000watt amp with the right electrical upgrades will sound better vs a 2000watt amp struggling for power. You will be back a week after installing asking "why does my 2000watt amp sound like it gets quieter/muddy after 5 minutes of bumping?" Not to sound like a dick, but if you learn to type paragraphs, you will probably get more help.
  11. Welcome! You've came to the right place to learn.
  12. What air cleaner are you going with? Will be using one of these. I need the low profile with the air gap manifold. Thats with the motor lowered a 1/2". The Holley DP is like the Lego of carbs. I still have a ton of tuning to do, so hadn't even bothered putting it on yet.
  13. Thanks guys! I have to admit the Mustang is far from my favorite muscle car, BUT this one was purchased by my wifes gma in 1965. So is a special car. Plus has started to grow on me.
  14. Finally finished up the engine on the mustang. Cleaned and painted the engine bay. New Holley DP'er, air gap manifold, HO water pump, aluminum radiator, and Powermaster 1 wire alternator. Installed new hoses, battery tray, cleaned up the wiring and loom. Now Its time to get the timing curve and Holley dialed in!
  15. I had a Doberman pitbull mix when I was way younger. Had to give her away as I ended up homeless. Was an amazing dog with great manors. Luckfully had a neighbor that was in love with her.

    Did it have the recoil barrel? Believe it was a bolt action model 1920.
  17. Idk my BP. My wife is the person that shaves you and hooks up the monitors, so I get a regular daily pulse check from her. Lol she tells me when my BP Is threw the roof. A lot of times it's while I'm sleeping.

    Woot woot! SCORE!! I grew up hunting with a 300 savage. Dad is a gun dealer.
  19. Lucky for me I can lose weight quick. Am down 20lbs in the last month!
  20. I gained around 40 pounds this last summer trying to be less active to recuperate my herniated disc. Sadly my BP is directly related to my weight.
  21. A cool place to hide the passive x-overs you have now, is under the stereo. The panel in the cubby under the stereo has a removable panel on the top side. This allows changing the attn settings and phase from the drivers seat. Once set, just tuck them up in the cubby and re install the panel.
  22. Was on a nice maidan voyage with the new Holley carb in the mustang yesterday. Was enjoying myself WAY to much...until I ran out of gas. DOH. Now I know where the gas gauge is at when empty atleast.
  23. German commands such as nein work well with dogs. If you pronounce them right, they have a sharp piercing tone that will stop the dog in its tracks. I can quiet a whole room of kids with that tone, as it cracks like thunder.
  24. At 11 years old my golden labs hips hurt her so bad in winter. She has been peeing on the snowy end of the deck instead of going down the stairs. I don't blame her. She sees me piss off the edge of the deck all the time.
