Im an old school American muscle guy myself. Want real muscle? There is no substitute for cubic inches... Big block chevy all the way. Easy and cheap to get 800+ ground pounding, tire smoking horsepower dropped in a 68 yenko camaro or 68 chevelle ss. Yep old school muscle. 8 miles to the gallon if your lucky, high octane racing fuel, blown, injected, and a two speed powerglide....

You don't enjoy the hatches for looks lol its for everything else lol the engines were decent but easily modded and super lightweight. Often good for higher power motor swaps.

American muscle guy..

My pride and joy: 1967 Dodge Charger with a matching numbers 440 that I inherited. Not very popular.. But I love it.

Still a work in progress though..

I'm looking into getting a Kawasaki z1000 or z800.. Love the "street fighter" look..

Anyone here that rides?

ahaha! ... It's cause your a Chevy guy huh :good: ;)

Yup, Holley carb & all

Agh, but I wish it was a 1968... Would be a lot easier to get parts for. As of right now, almost everything had to be made custom by yours truly.

The paint is what I'm going to work on last.. was thinking some combo of black/silver/& deep purple. Ghost flames? Lime Green? idk.. too many choices.

I've only ever seen one other '67.. and it was Gunmetal Gray with a spoiler from an Audi quattro (smh)

Dang... that sucks, sorry to hear. My dad got hit as well (guy didn't see him).. spent 5 months in the hospital. Ripped the rear diff from the truck when he slid under it with the bike. Total carnage..

Well chevy is still the best horsepower for the buck. It costs twice as much to hot rod a ford or dodge. And sorry to all you fast and furious guys these little rice burners just aint for me. They just have no ground pounding thump. They kinda sound like bumble bees trapped in a milk jug lol..... but if thats your thing go for it... as for me ill take a big block chevy any day...
[Off-topic] T.J. Bender:
Yeah, I tried a manual and couldn't get into it. I ended up buying an automatic with the manual shifting option. Really helps with gas mileage out where we live--lots of dirt roads that you'd have a hard time comfortably traversing at more than 30 mph, but I can force the car into 4th gear when the transmission wants it in 3rd. Buys me 1-2 extra mpg per tank over letting the car's computer handle the gears.

On a completely unrelated note, I was digging in the basement yesterday looking for some computer hardware and stumbled across my vintage 2007 HTC TyTn, aka the AT&T Tilt. This evening, I pulled it out and plugged it in, and to my utter surprise (it hasn't been turned on since Aug. 16, 2010, according to the last received call date) it not only accepted a charge but booted up. Posted a Facebook status from it earlier to make sure I hadn't lost my mind.

I wouldn't even know where to begin to look for a SIM for it, nor do I really want to use it as a phone, but I do think I can have some fun with it by making it run Android and goofing with it from there. If I brick it, hey, it had a good life. Hopefully I can make it into a second media player/phone (my Rocket excels in that role, btw) though. Just gotta see how big of a microSD card I can convince it to accept. ;)
[Off-topic] mtdew:
I appreciate both to an extent. On the muscle side if you do a classic do it right restore it properly. The 66 and 66 charger have quite a few things unique only to those model years. I feel those should be embraced and done to hold up to the name for that 375bhp beast.

On the import side. Ricer is a negative connotation we use for people who do make the car look like something from fast & furious. Most of us enthusiasts really prefer a fairly stock body usually lowered. The biggest thing we do is under the hood often we let the engine do our talking for us. I have known guys who have taken I4's and v6's and run upwards of 1000whp I applaud these gentlemen for their ingenuity and time to take something so small and underrated and push it well beyond the boundaries anybody ever expected of it. And actually matching power for power its often cheaper to go import than muscle to achieve the same power.
[Off-topic] Brad.S.:
Thought of that.. It was Dodge Red.. Like in the movie "Big Fish"

But with all the custom work >> custom paint!

Saw my first stretched gsxr a week ago.. crazy ride.

Problem that I have is that the R1s and such are the forward position.. gives me a headache. Ive rode a '80 Honda 750 for so long..

YouTube fuels my addiction lol

Most of them don't have much more than that. LOL

well, that.. and ground-effects lights

[Off-topic] garydv2002:
Yea I do agree with you. I take my hat off to those guys who take a 4 cylinder and get massive amounts of power out them. As far as how much it costs to build an import I wouldn't know since ive never hot rodded one worked on a lot of them thru the years as a former mechanic but never hot rodded one lol.... now ive built quite a few 1/4 mile cars. My fastest was a Chevrolet Vega that I put a 427 big block in with a high rise intake and 1050 Holley dominater carb. It dynoed at 700 horsepower at the rear wheels and with the spray would run a 8.50 quarter mile with the front wheels off the ground half way thru the run. Needless to say it was not street legal. It had Mickey Thompson slicks and trans brake on a turbo 400 tranny. I miss that car. I should have never sold it but it scared the hell out of me one night at the local drag strip. The chute didnt open and I hit the saftey nets after going thru the sand trap. I thought I was a gonner but luckily it didnt even hurt the car. The only thing that was hurt was my pride lol... I dont know why I was worried the car had a roll cage and racing seat with 5 point harness so I wasnt in to much danger lol

You can blow a hole in the ground. their are different biomes like tundra, desert, rain forest, forest, taiga etc. Depending on the biome their are different trees and different animals. yuppy can find pyramids that are booby trapped. You can boils a house or if you play on a big server and you happen to have the cash (in game money you earn for playing.) You can buy a chunk of land and make an apatmemt and sell the rooms.

He was being bribed $30 to intentionally throw the game because the guy he played was one victory away from being invited to a national event or something. I told my cousin not to take it, and when he beat him the man yelled at a 9 year old because he won, and when I told the guy to cool it he called my cousin a "lucky s***" and stormed out of the store.

10 bucks says you're in high school

I'm gonna go against the grain here and say that your 9 year old cousin should have thrown the game.

20ish isn't that outlandish an age to still be playing a (somewhat) competitive card game, I mean here we all are spending hours tweaking a phone that really provides minute benefits. A hobby is a hobby, but for that guy it was obviously a very 'dear-to-his-heart' hobby. A national event, even if you don't respect the field, is still a national event. It would have made that guys day, but instead he lost the opportunity to probably travel to some conference full of people who share his interests. [And lets be honest, if he's playing Yugioh in his 20s, he's not that high up on the social ladder]. It meant more to him than it meant to your 9 year old, instead of teaching your cousin a lesson of pride you could have taught him a lesson in humility.

To be fair; I'm not knocking anything personal to you or your cousin, it just seems like the right thing to do. That being said he obviously shouldn't have cursed at your cousin.
