For that kind of money, it should be right and you shouldn't have to fix a thing. Only mod it how she wants it. I will take your side, she can't get to me...LOL.

I'm siding with you mike too, like jerry said for that money you shouldn't have to fix anything. Like my mom always tells me, dont settle for something just because you want it badly. You'll regret it down the road.

Yeah LS motors don't fall flat on their face at 4000 RPM. The Camaro I got to drive with the 6.2 pulled nearly to 7k rpm (clear until I hit the rev limiter). Even LT1s and LT4s pull hard to higher RPM.

Thanks for the compliments on what I wrote guys. If you have a chance, go check out my piece from last Memorial Day. By far the best thing I've written.

I'm up a little earlier than I wanted to be. Oh well. I may cook up some Spaghetti. Might see if I can find a thing of Tupperware and make some extra to heat up at work on lunch break. If I have any it's only one or two containers though. That's one thing I should have asked mom if she had extra of when I was there for Thanksgiving.

Where's an extra 2 grand when I want it LOL?

1985 Monte Carlo needs to go by Friday

I think I'm gonna relax a bit. Gotta do some laundry and I never did get around to scanning in those old pics. So I might start on that later today.

Chibi, I have the Bold 9650. I'm eligible for an upgrade and will probably go to the 9930 when I have the money to do so. My tablet is an Android one; I didn't have the money to get the Playbook and honestly have never had the chance to play with one.

Keane, I know about the regretting the settling part. That's how I feel about the 01 lol. Not as big of a mistake as passing on the 73 would have though. Thankfully I didn't pass that up or I'd still be kicking myself.

Could just be a clogged cat, will they allow you to disconnect the exhaust and take it for a run? :p

Good morning everyone. I just got up.

Seattle Mike your area made my local news. I think they show all that white crap to remind us yankees about what we are missing. I don't miss it.

Mike; Emily will forgive you. Just another lesson that just because a car has low miles does not mean it is a good car.

Looks like the resident agitator has joined us again. Good morning Rick.

Good Morning Angie.
