    Support for the 2nd Amendment

    There is only one reason why a government wants to disarm its citizens - it's because they know they want to do something the citizens would shoot them for.

    How to get oil out of bare fiberglass?

    I think this summer I'm going to start working on getting the body cleaned up on the '81. Way back around 2009, I started stripping it for a repaint but I got carried away and went all the way down to bare fiberglass in a lot of places. In the ensuing 12 years, I've managed to get oil stains...

    I'm baaaaack

    Hey guys. It's been a while since I spent any time here. I have occasionally popped in from time to time to ask questions, because this is the forum where people actually know what they're talking about. Anyway, I got vacationed over in that other place for a month. They've gone all woke...

    To 2.02 or not to 2.02. That is the question

    Hey guys! I'm back, looking for some input. I'm building a 350/5.7 vortec, but this is for my Suburban. How is this Corvette related, you ask? Well, I'll tell you! I have a 4 bolt main block that's going in the '81 (as soon as I find a steel 1pc RM crank I can afford) so the 2 bolt block...

    Crankshaft question

    Hey guys! It's been a long time, but I'm back. :thankyou: Anywho. I have a question for everybody. Now that I'm done spending money on *ahem* other stuff, I'm getting back to building the engine for the c3. What I have is a factory 4 bolt, 1 piece rear main roller block that's going to be...

    Suburban burns oil. Rings or valves?

    My 1994 burns oil and fouls plugs. There's 204k on the clock but the real mileage is anyone's guess. I got it for cheap because the PO overheated it and cracked both heads. I bought a pair of used junkyard heads and all I did to them was put new seals on. I freshened up the bottom end, put...

    I swear BMW makes some of the prettiest cars ever

    Just saw THIS concept linked on Yahoo. Just wow! I think for the last 10 years or so they have been producing some of the best looking production and concept cars on the planet. Of course, I wouldn't own one. Primarily because they're way, way, way out of my budget. But also because I have a...

    S**t!!! Dropped my bike the other day

    Well, to say I "dropped" it is kind of inaccurate. I was backing out of my driveway. Normally when I back it out, I walk it half way down, until I get past my Suburban, then just do a 90% turn and ride forward out of the driveway. For some reason this time I thought I'd back it straight all the...

    How pathetically weak humans are.

    I have a little scooter I use to commute back and forth to work. It's a 49cc because according to state law anything <50cc doesn't require registration or a motorcycle license. On the way home from work the other day I looked down and noticed I'm buzzing along at 45+mph. A quick conversion...

    Resume: need advice

    So I think pretty much everybody knows my situation. It's never easy but changing jobs makes it really tricky. Here's the dilemma though. I'm putting my resume together and beginning the search for another job. Of course, my background is very mechanical/technical, as in hands on. I do have...

    Maybe this is part of the Chinese strategy

    I just read an article about China's blatant copy of the F-35. I mean the thing is probably much more of a threat than it should be given the amount of STOLEN technology they have, but it is so hard to take anyone serious when they give things such stupid names! "Falcon Eagle"? Fucking seriously?

    Apparently I have being a bitch down

    I went to Walmart today just to pick up a couple things really quickly. I get what I came for and head to the register. On my way this bum (yes, I call them "bums") stops me. I know he's a bum because he is carting around all of his belongings in a shopping cart, smells like he hasn't had a...

    OK Go music video

    If you guys haven't seen them before you have to watch the video. Whether your type of music or not, the creativity and performance is worth your time. If you like this one, I suggest you search some of their others. These guys are probably more famous for their videos than for their music...
