Bummer.

Sounds like the motor should have been an insurance claim. Sounds like the theft is an insurance claim. No problem...

Check out the MTI cams. They are running a group purchase as we type. Also, for Z06 style rims, Nate@Xtreme carries these and they are very popular.

I think maybe all those speakers and "tweaters" and amps and Rockfords and DVD and CD players and MP3 and and equalizers and kickers the rest of the $6000 of "audo" equipment may have jellied the spelling portion of his brain. :lol:

What does all that stuff really do, anyhow? :confused: Ehhhh....it's all wasted on me....I listen to the news and my B&Bs.

You guys are being awfully hard on the poor guy. Come on now, given the choice between auto shop and english, I think he made a damn good choice myself. Let's not kick him while he's down. But when he's back on his feet, the gloves come off.

Sorry for your problems, and good luck getting everything back together. Remember, everything that happens in life is an opportunity.

I think you should spend more time in English class, instead of Shop class.
Is that comment really necessary? What an jackarse :mad I understood him well, leave the poor kid alone, so he misspelled a few words. I would too being that pissed off that someone did that to me. Dude just shake it off and be happy you are at least getting some money from the insurance. Use that to get both your heads and a cam, and dont forget to get the tunning done. Good luck and let us know how everything turns out :)

You said "I Blew up my motor 2 months ago redlining the poopie out of it "....... Not likely. You could bounce off the rev limiter all day long and not hurt a thing.
