    They said it wouldn't work, you did it anyway. How did that work out for you?

    My wife told me not to buy the G8, should have listened. Thankfully that's my only real **** up. My brother is notorious for not listening when told to stop doing stuff (or to not start in the first place) or being by people that do things he can't handle long term. It always comes back to...

    Trying to summon the motivation

    You sound like you could be my dad. Too many projects, all of them half to 3/4 done. In the 25 years we've lived in Wisconsin he's finished 3 projects. 2 roofs and my grandfather's 57 MGA. No other project that he's started has been finished, and he's still talking about buying another car. We...

    How many of your personal cars ended up in junkyards?

    All 3 of my v8 rwd cars (minus the Cuda) got totaled within 2 years of buying them. My 96 caprice lost all oil pressure. So I ripped out the engine and rear end and sold it for scrap. The 95 wagon that replaced it, got t boned hard during the first snow of the year. And just last May, my 09 G8...

    Why Carb and non OD a Gen 3?

    My G8 had a 2.92 rear end and a 6l80 od trans. At 70 mph it cruised at 1750 so that's right on the money. I wouldn't worry about lugging the engine at that rpm even if you're going faster.

    I salute you men and women who

    I intentionally lifted the hood of the Cuda to avoid this. Roof is still being used a shelf though lol. I don't have space for a proper shop, but I'm praying it doesn't look like my dad's when I finally get one. I know people are laughing but when I worked as a cellphone salesman I had a guy...

    What are you listening to ?

    Are you sure you're old. Your music tastes suggest you're like 30-40 lol.

    C&E bodies Rant

    This is a way better idea. I've got it as well and it's amazing. It also blocks ads on YouTube. Please for the love of God, just use Firefox and add extensions, it'll make your life so much nicer when it comes to ads.

    Headers for a A body

    Yup, my G8 had long tubes on it when I bought it and apparently just the headers and a full exhaust on that car are good for 40 whp before a tune. They can make a huge difference.

    I tried, but I just can't take the commercials anymore!

    Don't have cable, use Ublock origin extension on my pc and my phone for internet browsing, have a custom app for youtube that blocks ads and sponsors on my phone, use an adblock dns server on my phone. My life is surprisingly ad free, but I have to work a little harder at making stuff work every...

    True car people are becoming a thing of the past

    My 3 year old is taking an interest in watching me work on my bike and demands the headphones when I'm playing assetto corsa because she likes listening to the cars when I'm driving around. She also enjoys the sound of big cammed v8s. I hope this continues lol.

    True car people are becoming a thing of the past

    Like I said my LS 2.5 made 540 hp with a cam swap, cold air intake, and long tubes. I had A/C and got 23 mpg on the freeway. Modern engines are made for smiles too, look at how fast a modern z06 is. It's almost as fast as a 240 hp superbike. They're just more complicated and far more reliable...

    True car people are becoming a thing of the past

    Abodyjoe, after reading that now, I understand a lot more what you meant 10 years ago. I just wasn't ready to hear it then. I still think you're wrong but far less then before. There is a place for young people owning classic cars, but much like model As and T buckets now it's going to become a...

    True car people are becoming a thing of the past

    Wow are you me lol? 32 and got the Cuda when I was 16 too. I honestly loved Roadkill until they took it off YouTube. It took me a while but thankfully my dad was supportive of me building the car I wanted and I changed his mind on a few things like wheel sizes and fuel injection. Ive also been...

    True car people are becoming a thing of the past

    This is far more true than I think people give credit for. I grew up in the early 00s. Aside from the barracuda which I have a sentimental attachement to, I really don't care about cars from before like 96 and I think a lot of dudes my age feel the same way. We love cars that we grew up with...

    One Inch of Snow and School for Tomorrow is Canceled

    School got canceled for my kid today. There was literally 2 inches of snow. Absolute bs, I've gone to school in worst weather 15 years ago.

    Projects you have on the list but keep putting off....

    Both motorcycles, and the barracuda. Cuda needs a gas tank, Buell needs to either be fixed or sold from the accident, and the Valkyrie just needs some trim work, but it's rideable. So I can at least take that to work in the summer.

    Where Are All The Pre 2010 Members

    sup, does lurking count? I did quite a bit of that before actually making an account. I actually was on the early a forum for a couple years before I realized this place was waaaaay more active.

    "Rookie-Touring" '69 Dart

    Damn, it's been just over 10 years since he's posted progress on it.

    MIA

    I might be back. Depends on how I feel about forums vs FB. Plus after 9 years of letting the cuda kind of sit in limbo not really driving it I kind of want to get it better. Since I finished working on the engine rebuild it's been "good enough" but now that the miami beater is running again I...
