Thats very haunting. Godspeed to all the victims. Its a terrible day in humanity. You'd think as a civilization we'd be past these acts.

Why in the World would any airline fly over war zone airspace!!?? I blame the airline and/or pilots, more than the Russians or Ukranians.. FAA instructed American planes to fly nowhere near that area for quite awhile now... Its a No-Fly war zone for Gods sake...

Yep, not yet. Wonder what they look like on a C5. I hope I didn't make a mistake and order mine too soon.

I'm officially a Zaino user now. My Z2, Z5, and Leather in a Bottle just showed up.

I also have an appointment on Saturday to finally have my windshield replaced. No more pitted and cloudy view from the pilot's seat.

This would be a great time to post the meme of the little kid with the scrunched up face saying, "This is how I feel when car parts arrive." I have parts coming in every day through the end of next week. It's like having an early Christmas.

Yeah, you could say that's been me the past few days, although I don't think I've been quite that patient.

I'll make a beer run just before I get started, but yeah, I'll make sure to have plenty of cold ones to reach for; I can't wait to see what the Zaino does to my paint. I'm expecting a marked improvement.

The specs on that are ridiculous! It's using GM 1.9 rockers that are $2200!

Yea 24K and that doesn't include oil pan, ignition module or exhaust manifolds. Runs on 110 octane race fuel, your basic DD motor, I bet it would get 7 miles to a gallon at least my Camaro gets 9 MPG, but its not a 770 HP car either.

If you could get it with a lower compression ratio for street use, it'd be a sweet motor! It's running a hydraulic roller, that is only slightly larger than my current stick. 24k isn't outrageous for what that is...

It would make a good street rod motor, not so much for a late model corvette, to much stuff would need to be changed out.
