I Just woke up from nap. I'm rocking Blue darkness, I think it's sexy. I ran IPB2.1 if that's the white/blue one I'm thinking of for the longest time.

I do wish they would scrap the mod motor idea and re-address the v8 market differently though.

Fuck that. They just need to up their displacements accordingly with GM.

It's big, it's heavy, it isn't super efficient, and it's super expensive to manufacture. The other problem is they just didn't keep to plans very well in the whole "mod" portion of it. Technologically it smokes the LS and Hemi's but nothing about it makes it easy to swap into another vehicle. Personally I think pushrods are a joke.

It is big, compared to iron blocked-engines it's not heavy at all. Hell, the only real "heavy" mod motors are the DOHC engines, but of course, they have more material. Nothing is super-efficient from the factory, and I don't know how you consider 281 cubic inches pushing 300+HP and 300lb.FT. on pump gas and getting economy in the mid 20s not efficient. Contrary to what you may thing, Ford's modular engine family is the cheapest OHC engine family currently being produced. It's very easy to swap into other vehicles, but it's not a small-block chevy. Dammit, my battery is dying.

It is way bigger than a 460 though and heavier. I know we had this conversation before, but everywhere I look has those things outweighing an old BBF. And they are so wide that retrofitting them into any old car with shock mounts isn't easy. As for the efficiency problem what I don't understand is why my crap Chevy gets 18.5mpg with more power than my buddies Ford who gets 15mpg. I also read that the build costs are more than the BM'er V8's which is nuts. I do believe the answer is modular as well as OHC but I think it needs a little reworking to get there. Personally I'd like to see it in rpm's and breathing and not cubes, but would love it if they did something.

i've always wondered why the american automotive industry has produced so many engines with 2 valves/cylinder when most manufactures switched to 4.

Exclusively based on costs.

I want one.

How much? Me wants too!!

So now I'm off to go spend what money I have left

I got the students to group themselves today and asked each group for one similarity and one difference between the parasympathetic and sympathetic divisions of the autonomic nervous system.

I was getting great answers until I got to the group in the back. When I asked them for their difference, there was a long pause and I asked again - "Can you give me a difference between the parasympathetic and sympathetic divisions?"

One group member spoke up and said:

"Spelling."

Nearly shit myself laughing.

Best.Answer.Ever.

Took the Chevelle out tonight, Lord that was fun.

nice. I just got done watching the Season Premiere of Grey's Anatomy. ehhh it was so-so. My Friday night is sooooooooooooooooo awesome, let me tell ya. However, I did play golf today for the first time in, oh I'd say 5 years at least. It was pretty fun, I might go do it again sometime in the near future. I suck but hey, it was fun.

Never played golf before, need to learn though.

On a side note, our puppies are fricking awsome!

Golf is actually probably one of the hardest sports I've ever tried to learn. The only thing I can do so-so is drive the ball. When it comes to chipping the ball, or hitting the ball to where it doesn't go so far, I cannot do it. It's very hard IMHO.

Puppies? What kind of puppies?

One of the puppies!!!!!!!!

holy chit that dog is cute. Is that a lab?

Beagle/Choclate Lab

We've got another one that looks just like it, only a little darker and fatter.

Beagle/Choclate Lab

it's a mix between a beagle and a chocolate lab? Wow, that's an interesting combo. I want a dog so bad, my new room mate and I actually want to get a dog. Maybe I could meet you half way and get a new dog eh?

When I pulled in the driveway today and called them over to me they about killed me trying to jump on me and lick me to death.

If anything happened to these two pups, mom would shoot someone.

dude puppies are so bad ass. I loved whenever we got the dog that lives at my parents house. I used to stay up with it all night and play with her, it was awesome.

Well, I"m headin to bed, I've got to get up early tommorow and work I do believe.

If it doesn't rain, continue harvest, if it does rain, work on my S-10 and detail the Chevelle some I do believe.

One of my close friends from school is in around here this weekend visiting some people and she is stopping by tommorow to play with the puppies, thats all shes been able to talk about for the past couple days is being able to see the puppies. Doesn't help much that one of her life goals is to get a Beagle puppy, and these are half beagle.
