Some more....

Check with Lars and do whatever he suggests.

5W30
10W30
10W40
15W40
20W50
Pennzoil
Quaker State
Valvoline
Mobil 1
is best

What does NOM mean? Less money on resale.

What does POS mean? A lot less money on resale. Or maybe no resale.

Good driver. Means looks like crap.

10 footer paint job. Means at 9 feet, looks like crap.

Good frame. Means hasn't yet broken in half.

Minor surface rust. Means rotten.

Starter heat soak. Posts started in June, will end in October ('cept far south)

My car overheats. Check everything bubba did. Then check it again and again. Posts will end in October ('cept far south)

I can't count the number of chicks I've nailed. See Bloodvette/Glutamine83. 68 shark is not a "player" here.... sigh....

Who is 73-454. A guy who used to live here...in his rotten old C3 who called all of our cars, rotten old C3's. He was probably right.

Toronto Shark Pack. Became so annoying, the forum gave us our own section!!

:party:

Closing in on 1000 posts? Priceless...

Tighten a bolt until it strips, then back it off half a turn.

Don't do a search and just post I did a search but didn't find anything.

Plus here are a couple of forum rules to live by too;
My friend says = This is what I think but am afraid to admit it.

If you want to insult someones post because it dumb wait and let some other jerk do it first then join in the mob attack.

If you don't agree with someone or if they prove your wrong just insult them and call them bubba.

Always claim your car is faster than it really is. :lol:

Bridgestone and Nitto are the only two companies that make 17 inch tires that will retain the stock tire diameter around 27 inches tall.
Or Kumho.

"Cut 3/4 of each coil"
That was the one I was thinking of.

460's in the front, cut 3/4 coil. 340lb mono in the rear, make sure to get the right shocks.
Don't get the one piece Thompson Astro top, get the replacement 2 piece tops, much better.
Yes you will need adapters to run C4/C5 wheels. Call Vette Brakes.

pull a 350 out of a 65 biscayne, deck it and restamp it.

be carefull, the whole thing will fall apart and you will die if you try something different.

get the 7500 dollar paint job because it will be worth it and you really didn't want to drive it anyway. If it takes them 3 years to paint it so much the better.

everyones car is superfast, veryfast or fast. never admit you drive a turtle

oh, and circumventing the forum censor will result in lost points.
