Wow, just wow. Get the tin foil hats and bite guards out, there is no talking sense here.

Actually, there are many reasons to home school. I was never glossing over the reasons, just addressing the broad generalizations made regarding teaching and the public school system. As I may not have stated clearly enough, only parents can make decisions for their own children. My singular...

I find it disconcerting that you state the easiness of surpassing what a qualified teacher is able to accomplish. Also, many marginal children are the sole focus of teachers such as myself. Sad.

No, I am not elitist. I am a realist. I do have the degrees to teach my subject matter, and that makes me qualified. I also have over 2 and a half decades of experience which gives me the right to comment on the topic. I am a parent as well of a 9 year old and a 12 year old. I work at night...

Of course I take the 26 week pay schedule. In today's economy, it would be difficult to save the wages necessary to make it through 1/4 of the year. I have seen the test before and would like to note the difference between administrators and teachers. Two very separate things. LOL

Some of these responses are rather interesting, but I do have a few responses of my own. First, to say that teachers are paid through the summer is ABSOLUTELY incorrect, and uninformed. We select to be paid either 21 pays (through the school year) or 26 pays (through the summer). If we select...

Normally, I would never reply to a thread such as this, but it seems that the vast majority of responses are either misguided, or flat out incorrect. The perception that home schooling can keep pace with public, or private, formal education is absurd. As a teacher with 26 years in public...

I had considered something along these lines. The engine was fully torn down and rebuilt at a reputable shop, receipts in hand, so I am not concerned about shortcuts damnimcooltom is referring to. The engine runs as smooth as any I have ever heard around town and, on hard acceleration, pulls...

PCV valve and vacuum line were fine. The Breather is the push in type that goes in the passenger side valve cover. That is what was full of oil. Problem solved. I just never knew that they would either fill up, or fill so quickly. I just never heard of it, but for 6 bucks the problem was...

Last year, I picked up a sweet 74 Duster. This summer, I started getting an exhaust smell in the cabin, and the RIGHT exhaust pipe started smoking blue smoke. I did some poking around and found the Breather Cap was pretty dirty and had oil residue in and around it. Now this motor was a new...

You are in the same place as I was. I have a 2009 Challenger R/T and I bought my 74 Duster with a 318 last year. The car is pretty clean and I got it for 4,000 with a spare 360 block the guy was going to put in later. I had NO intention of putting the 360 in so I sold it for 650 bucks on...

I did what you are considering. Sold my Challenger, a 71 sebring, and a 72 sebring plus. Paid off all credit cards and used the balance to buy a 2009 R/T new with 14 miles on it. I had enough left over to buy my duster and the rest is history. Buy the Yellow Jacket if you can. Easy to mod...

I just threw up in my mouth a little bit. *gag*

Amen to Haggerty. They are the best. I have had two claims over the years with them and there was NO hassle what so ever. Find some comps. and start a paper trail if your insurance is being difficult. 2 cents

Thanks, This is great info. I understand that the power adders will work until the weakest link in the system takes a dump. My original curiosity stemmed from the concept that it would be fun to add a little nudge to the Duster without being a time bomb that I would have to worry about all the...
