Welcome to the IHoP
i'm currently craving an fbody. looking at an early 90's with a jasper motor in it, took the fi out. got a big edlebrock on it currently. asking too much for it, $3500, as it needs some work. but the bro-in-law and the owner are in good, kinda partners with some dogs, so i might be getting it dirt cheap. but i would much rather have a later, 98-00, model. ehhh, neither will probably happen... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee LT1 cars are so cheap nowadays, but the price of LS1 cars has come down a lot too so there is almost no point in buying an LT1. The LS1 cars are so much easier to work on and much faster. and better looking wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

i'd say drive out here...lots of local winerys to visit. lots! probably take care of most of them in a couple of days, depending upon pace...otherwise, ask sean, not a whole helluva lot going on. but well within your driving radius i believe. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eee

Welcome to the IHoP
go to Durango, CO beautiful little town with amazing beer There are a lot of awesome towns in CO. You could drive through the mountains and see all the great scenery and local small towns. Their small towns are a lot nicer than the small towns in kansas, haha. Ahahaha. But, but, but, we have the worlds largest ball of twine! lol...okaaaaayy... colorado is the bomb though. if money was right, and weather, i'd grab the king and meet tom in durango. then head north into the mountains, leadville, cripple creek, garden of the gods amd whereever else one wants to cruise in the rockys. it's been 18 looong years since i moved away from there, and i miss it more every year. illinois sucks as much as kansas is flat, lol... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Welcome to the IHoP
lol...kimber stainless target II not fancy??? not fancy would be a springfield mil-spec, a charles daly, hell, even a taurus pt1911 has custom features...and kimber's customer service and warranty suck. trust me. while their guns are nice, very nice, even lowly kel-tec trumps their asses in CS and warranty. look into a springfield, a smith and wesson, a sig arms, even the taurus. hell, build your own (i think that's my next big project), kimber's bullshit cs doesn't warrant someone dropping 1500+ on their ass. i will never buy another kimber from a dealer, maybe used off someone. but never again will kimber see money from me for anything new. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

What is the fastest you have gone
new update..lol..got the cooper to 138-139mph by speedo. very stable car though. extremely responsive and planted. it's an easy car to go fast in. makes the charger at work feel like a fat, lazy slouch. chrysler needs to rethink their "police package" wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Welcome to the IHoP

What is the fastest you have gone
145...dodge hemi charger, governed 135 mini cooper s covertible, all she's got 155 suzuki katana 600, slightly modded. many, many times over 130 in various rides, crown vics, merkur xr4ti, mustangs, camaros...blah, blah, blah... bro-in-laws mustang is sicing fast, quick. however speedo doesn't work, so no idea how fast that thing is. would guess 140+, runs outa gear before motor. very stable too...all kenny bell, cobra r underneath. 306ci with a 100shot if needed. it's usually not needed, lol. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

My New/First Car! :)
just did a bit of research...can't find a lift kit anywhere for this discovery. found lots of coil over conversions to replace the airbags though. now 94 or older, i found a couple of 2" kits. not starting anything, but if anyone is going to dispute anyone, post some links to collaborate your side. i'm curious as to who's right. also, i hate the fact they will lock up the transfer case, and call it a diff lock. or center lock, or whatever, lol. if it's not in the pumpkin, it's not a diff. at least not by old school thought process. but these are some whelling luxo beasts, a lift kit would be cool! wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Rumors of my Demise Have Been Greatly Exaggerated
wow, that sucks. glad you're ok. the tacoma that was hit last saturday was hit just a little further back then that, left front tire/axle ripped off, and the nose damn near removed from the truck and it's air bags deployed. not that that would have saved your leg.... again, glad you're ok and on your way to feeling better. a much better ride awaits you in the future thanks to this, gotta look for that silver (pun intended) lining. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

1000 dB!
i don't know about LRAD, but i know that certain pds are using a new "siren" that does employ ultralow frequencies. the idea is that since so many people claim to not see, nor hear, the squad behind them, but using ultralow frequencies, teh suspect car would feel the squad car. IIRC, it wa on discovery channel at one time, but i don't remember the specifics. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I cut two fingertips off today
worse i've seen was my grandfather who wacked off his middle and ring finger down to the middle knuckle 1/16th of an inch at a time in a joiner. was nothing left but skin. keep em clean, avoid hitting anything with them as no amount of meds short of pure morphine will keep them from hurting, and you should be fine. getting the stitches pulled around the very tip will be painful, lol, even made me cry. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
