Alex ran the Upsolute program for the LPT. But they could never get the fuel cut to turn off. Dropped in a T5 ECU and all was well. But yes, I think the tune was bad.

Sorry - I meant that with the higher CR and a little too much boost (well, more the inaccurate tuning) his block didn't last too long.

Yeah, what he said. I rode in a 97 lpt with 16t, DP (3" IIRC) and an IPD ECU. It was notably quicker than my 855 turbo... Even with the 17PSI ST chip. However, that block didn't last very long... so use caution. I would think a T5 or R ECU would be ideal with a 15g/16t.

Do you think an 'undocumented worker' would still do X job for 50 bucks if he knew 35% of it was going to Uncle Sam? Me either. <_<

Thanks! I'm a big fan of the Olive Green T5R wagons too... The rarest of the rare in the US, no? My wife gave me a gift last night... No you dirty boys, not THAT kind of gift... She's been driving the 745 and we met for dinner - I got there first. My 'gift' was seeing my car drive up. Great stance, the wheels tuck in nicely, and it sounded good. Not bragging, I didn't build it - just rescued it, fixed it, and cleaned it up. :D

So Starbucks doesn't jack the prices in 'high-rent' areas like McDonalds does? I know the airport locations of most chains are usually higher - but I've never been in a Starbucks... EVER!

Now that's just sad... Big Oil has got us thinking that 2.59 is cheap. In Columbia - a self-sustaining oil country - they pay $0.16 per gallon. Venezuela? $0.70 Of course the average income is rediculously low... IIRC Columbia was ~5k a year.

$2.59 for the cheap stuff in GA this AM... Add $0.20 for the 93. This was at a BP, RaceTrac and a QT - and my tank was already full. <_<

Sounds like: 1) they are trying to drum up new lawsuit material. 2) the soldiers need to lower their aim slightly for the 21-gun salute.

You forget - he WANTED to die... Can't be a very good martyr if you're still alive, can ya? He's getting the worst thing we can give him - life in solitary confinement w/out possibility of parole. Twist MF'er, twist.

ONLY ~20 GRAND???? You wouldn't get 20 of us honkey-gringo mofos to band together and skip work/pay for much of any reason. :P

Yes, but we 'legals' also pay taxes on goods and services... Plus the 35% of our paychecks that come right off the top. Maybe this will lead to the downfall of the IRS in America. They'll collect more money overall if they just charge a higher Sales Tax in place of Income Tax?

Face is cute - she looks a little thick (which is a GOOOD thing to me) but it's hard to tell from just the face shot. Where are the rest of the pics? :P

Wow! Did you type that Oingo Boingo song from memory - while drunk? Color me impressed.

Acceptable?!?!? Just wait til you're in your lower 30s... it's all you can think about. I'm a baaaaad :monkey:

You're really thinking small-time here... Galactic Prick.

Saw a cool news article today (well, saw some of it, I was on a treadmill at the gym - reading subtitles) but the Fed Gov't is asking State Gov'ts to drop some of their 'pork' projects and divert those funds to relief. There are over 13,000 of these pork projects being Federally funded right now. They mentioned just one of these projects receives over 50,000,000 dollars a year. At last count none of the States Reps had replied. Big shock. :rolleyes:

What's cool is having 'earned' one without yet claiming it. Kind of like driving a fast car slowly... The epitome of cool. :P

I'll agree that, in the given context, he made a complete a$$ of himself. [Devil's Advocate] But what if he was simply trying to suggest a way for the kids to better cope with the situation? The power of suggestion is VERY powerful and suffering is objective. [/Devil's Advocate]

Was that a job offer? I mean I like smores - and cash... sounds like camping! :huh:

Which one was he? :P

This may or may not be her... Who cares? Sweet rack!!!!

I'm all for late-term abortion... Say 50 or more trimesters post-partum - when the oh yeah! is in the clinic trying to murder her own child due to some carelessness on her part or some future inconvenience that may be caused by her carelessness/indiscretion. /rant I am not referring to the cases of pregnancy-thru-rape or where carrying the child to term will endanger the mother - so please don't try to use those against me.

<_< Yeah, gas companies seem to land at/near the top of the charts for 'most profitable companies' every year. http://money.cnn.com/2004/03/23/news/fortu...rofitable_list/ Sure am glad we're doing this whole 'War for oil' thing. <_<

Sadly, he's right... These days kids have no reverence for much of anything unless some over-hyped, over-publicized freak says it on <insert your generation's MTV-type gutter-trash TV>. The fact is the school system does not (and can not) take the time to make history even remotely interesting. They simply stuff the kids full of facts and numbers in a vain attempt to appease some test-score systems. Not intended or directed specifically at futr... Just a statement in general. Parents, myself included, are also guilty of not spending the time to instill National pride in their children. It's a little different at my house; the kids know their Dad "went to war" and I do take opportunities to share that with them - but usually wait until they show interest. They are proud of my Military (Army) background. We even occasionally go to Military-specific sites/museums like the USS Yorktown in Charleston, SC - the Aviation museum in Ohio, etc. Of course, it's not usually their idea. Not that I'm a warmonger or super-gung-ho GI Joe or anything... I just want them to see things that helped shape our place in this world. I was raised to believe that the Military was a bad thing (Democrat-hippy Kalifornia family - but I escaped and recovered. ) - completely untrue. The Army opened doors for me that a college degree (at least from a school I was qualified to go to ) could never have. Sorry, not sure how this got to be a pro-military tirade, but there ya go. -Chris
