Default Just checking in..

Just wanted to stop by and see who's still around. Yes, I still have my c4. I'm still spraying a 125 shot into the low 12's. Despite all the nay sayers in here saying N2O is a killer, the old mostly stock l98 is still **** strong.

I had developed some great e friends in here but I got burned out. I got into stunting my crotch rocket and began to spend my lil extra time at a sport bike forum accordingly.

I just enjoy a more relaxed, less governed, "freedom of speech" forum.

Plus, back then, the "pro-bush" attitude in here kind of rubbed me wrong. I wonder how everyone likes him now? LOL! That peice of crap has led us into a recession and thinks he can fix it with a weak stimulas package. How yall like him now?

Oh well, I didn't mean to get political. It just still bugs the crap out of me that the upper class isn't smart enough to see that the middle-lower class sustains them. Not everyone can be the king. Somebody has got to actually do work.

Again, I just stopped by to say hi and wondered if anyone I used to correspond with is still around?

If you knew me, drop me a line before this gets locked or deleted for protocol. After all, I only mentioned my c4 once.

Yall take care.

Dave

Hey Rich, how you been?

Whats up Tom? Still sporting that sweet white 91 I see. Great to hear from ya. I may be back in here a lil more often. I'm getting too old for all the bike stunting. I had a nasty spill three weeks ago. Reminded me how I'm not still bullet proof. Missing skin sucks!

Aight, holla!

Yes, wondered where you went.
I tend to agree with you on the politics, a lot of that goes on in OT. It belongs in PRC and not in C4 gen or tech.

Dave... you answered a question for me early on right after I bought my C4 in 2004... I have no idea what the question was, but I appreciated it. Good to see you are still around. I had a 91 coupe back then, since upgraded to a 96 LT4 vert

As for George Dubya... they actually played this quote on the radio this morning...

GWB "You know, they have this saying down in Tennesee - fool me once, uhhh, shame, uhhh, shame on you!. Fool me twi.....Uhhh, Uhhh, you can't fool me again."

That quote was followed by:

GWB ".... and you know those gynecologists, they can't practice their... uhh, love, err, work with women."

Heh heh good one Dan! Spanky, Smack, all you guys. Great to see you still around.

I wasn't getting anything off my chest. Just figured I'd see if anyone has "come out of the closet politically" around here. I know it's an OT subject. I never hung there. My friends were all here.

About the stunting, I guess I just dont have the money to feed my adrenalin addiction with the Vette. I'm not getting too crazy. Just a few tank spreaders, some seat standers, stoppies, and a few circle wheelies. The usual easy junk. Nothing like these kids do these days.

Bizarro, I'm a bit slow, I'm not sure I get what ya mean, but we were always cool. Good to see ya still rockin the Sammy avatar.

I took the c4 from Lufkin to Waco here recently. I had almost forgotten how good it is on gas on a road trip. Better than my Frontier with a v6.

I think I may pay her a lil more attention and may be back in here a bit more again.

See yall around.

Congrats on the lt4

Yeah, if you want a laugh, go to "youtube" and type in "bush funny" in the search and watch some of those. He's a freaking moron!

Actually, I do remember. Thats an area I put a lot of time in on learning about. I even wrote a tech tip on that one. I'm glad I was able to help. Glad to see you're still around Doug.

Many have disappeared from here with out notice I wondered where you skated off to. I thought you may have let that car snort a overdose of that giggle juice and had to give it a rest. Good to see you still have the vette and all is good.
