See if you bait the trap long enough the lifelong n00bs will sooner or later be lured in.

I just want to see pics of a 409 stuffed into a gold 87? or is I cornfused and missing something? (Im having a bit of trouble keeping up without a scorecard).
My first car was a 1964 409 impala.. and I cant imagine that big beast in a vette, but I would sure like to see it. (I would also like to see a good photo of a unicorn or bigfoot but Im gullible that way)

And if you pull a hokie and get caught do they throw you in the hokie pokie? Or is that just what you call it when you call on a hokie story?

Just some of the n00b questions I have.. be gentle Jon.

No problems here, we've gone toe to toe and you gave as well as you took so you are no longer a n00b.

Besides, I kind of liked the whole Curmudgeon thing.

You can stop playing the cancer card anytime now.You also told us you picked it out for him new when you were 4 and now a post has popped up where you talk about the 409 or 400 thing and said your dad got the car 10 years ago. As for the rest...............

Well If its a 409 you can tell easily enough, there is no other engine on the planet that looks like it. vlalve covers as big a s 426 hemi and shaped like a w

If it doesnt look like that it aint a 409

I really believe you should post some picks of that monster you claim to have under the clamshell make sure to include the draperies so we know it’s yours.

Wait, what?

So it's back to not being an L98 again??

So in the same thread you claim to have a 6 second street bike and an ultra rare factory non-L98 (but not sure what) 1987 Corvette?

Really? Come on man...

EDIT: Please stop with the cancer thing... nobody is making fun of cancer. It's your unbelievable claims that people are laughing at.

This has nothing to do with your father.

In your post you posted "the brocher the guy gave us when we bought it says it was a limited edition with a 409 engine"


If your father has cancer then you have my sympathy.

I spent the last three years of my father's life staying with him and my mother every other night. One of my brothers covered the other night.

He died in my arms in his living room while my my mother watched so don't try and lay the "poor little me" crap on me. I'm very aware of what cancer can do to a healthy person....

Ya know, when I was just a young pup, my old man told me something that has stuck with me through the ages....

"When you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is to stop digging"

Of course, then he went and dug up the neighbor's flowerbed, crapped on their lawn, treed their cat, growled at the mailman, and got picked up by the pound, but that's another story.

I'm sure that's what you're telling people when they call to buy your car. "It's a 400 or L98, but too much power to be a L98"- what does that mean?



Ok, I may be a noob here, but this ain't my first rodeo. I can see you now, giggling and peeing yourself as you continue to try to bait everyone into thinking you're a serious head case. :
