    9/11...10 Years

    I was at home when my then wife called and said a plane had just crashed. I thought it was a prop plane similar to a previous event many years ago. I turned on the news about the time the 2nd plane hit.

    what do you guys think of this marauder?

    Bobby, No offense, but in reading your various threads, you're all over the place with your posts....In some you say you're saving up and only make $160/mo. Others you say you have 3K saved. Others you talk about your dad buying one. You've asked opinions on several different cars. The...

    For Sale 1987 Buick Grand National

    I appreciate your passion for your GN. I love mine as well. Mine is a built out 10 sec 1/4 mile car. However, not to get too far into Jolly's for sale thread, but let's get a few facts straight. The 86/87 GNs were the fastest production cars of those years...Corvette owners hated that and it...

    How do you balance the today with the future?

    mmmmm.....PBJ's A good day meal wise for me is cereal for breakfast, PBJ for lunch and Chicken Noodle soup and a Grilled Cheese for Dinner. Comfort food :D Yeah, I'm very much the same....Very frugal in some areas, but make up for that in others. I don't wear fancy clothes, own any jewelry...

    For Sale 1987 Buick Grand National

    True, someone's done a vacuum brake conversion on the car, which is a very common and popular mod. The powermaster brakes are electric and problematic when the electric pump fails (can you say no hydraulic brakes at that point). I myself have a hydroboost unit (same hydraulic principle but uses...

    For Sale 1987 Buick Grand National

    Did you mean new Master Cylinder resevoir, cause the master cylinder on the brake unit does not look new at all. Are you missing the Turbo Shroud or was it removed for the picture? Looks to be fairly stock other than the transmission upgrade. The 2004r transmissions are very solid so curious...

    How do you balance the today with the future?

    Many of us here enjoy an expensive hobby....Car collecting, modifying, etc. I'm curious as to how YOU balance the expenditures today with the need to save for the future? The reason I ask is recently in my own personal life, I've seen a shift in my attitudes towards money. For 20+ years I...

    Samsung Droid Charge or HTC Thunderbolt

    I need to upgrade from my Droid X....Ever since the Gingerbread OS update, the phone has been a dog. Locks up all the time, buggy, dropped calls, unsent texts....What was a promising start, the X went south fast.

    Radiator fan motor went out, anyone had this?

    Just curious....where's the empirical evidence of all these aftermarket fan fires? Seems that Dorman sells thousands of these fans but I googled and didn't find any evidence of fires, lawsuits from fires, etc. I'm not in a position to say they aren't happening, but to blanket say don't use...

    Finally took the Long tube header plunge.

    Cool....I too just placed my order for Long Tube SW headers....I went sans cats and instead ordered the Magnaflow High Flow Cats and X-tube. Can someone clue me in on the need for the lokar dipstick tube (is this a clearance issue) and the locking bolts (??)

    Marauder = 57 Chevy?

    An interesting tidbit I heard from a 57 owner but I've never been able to verify. There were ~47,000 57 convertibles built but there are more than that titled today due to the number of conversions done. Pretty popular car to grow in numbers over the year...
