Richard, be sure to ask him about Chemtrails. You know the government is trying to poison all of us. It sure would make their job easier if they flew the chemtrail jobs at night so no one could see them.

Watching the bigfoot shows on TV is about like watching the Geraldo Rivera special on opening Al Capone's vault....lots of speculation, zero results.

From what I was told they sail to other countries to drink and fight. They bring Marines if they get into a big fight.

I know right, the armed forces are all a bunch of laid back hipsters that have a cup holder in each fighter for their supermochalattechinehoochiwhatsit.

I am sure when you served they had hot tubs on each deck of the ship and each NAF had better than a five star rating. Masseuse and fanciful food dishes with names no one can pronounce.

The movie Paul was pretty funny. Some people think it was a documentary based on truth.

Now you tell me. While titanium is lightweight it is expensive and difficult to work with. Now I find out I could have bought a $1.99 cooler to put over my head.

It is amazing what people believe. It is even more amazing what bunk people have allowed themselves to be killed over.

I, however know the truth about all these and it is that

WooHoo,the Camaro lives! I farked up the plug wires on reinstallation but other than that it fired right up.


On the subject of Bigfoot/monsters--my son watches Mountain Monsters. The clowns on the show are sooooooo over dramatic that it's no wonder they never catch one of critters. They yell whenever something happens.

I want to write them a letter and tell them to shut the fuch up once in a while and they might catch one.....if they actually exist.

Maybe they think they are attracted to the noise of low IQ clowns in the forest.

Good job on the Camaro. Should be nice once de-cobbled.

1984 Z28 that's seen better days. My FIL bought it to fix up and cruise in. The body is really solid but the paint's crap.

The PO put a mid 80s truck motor in it with a 2bbl carb. We put a 4bbl intake and carb on it. Of course, NOTHING is the same but at least it runs.

I think he paid $1000 for it.

Sweet!

Not sure if you're familiar with the LT-1 cars, but a simple task like spark plugs is a real gem of a project due to ridiculously tiny clearances.

My dad has a beautiful LT-1 car, we did the plugs, found 4 different types, original in hardest to reach spot of course. And the old man mixed up some wires on the Optispark, oh the racket!!

Yup, I had a 94 Z28 with the LT1 and 6 speed trans. My license plate was "M6 LT1". It was the first time I got a vanity plate.

I'd starve if I had to sell for a living

Holy tap dancing **** biscuits.....my idiot neighbors have built a ****ing fire pit about 12 feet from my house and 3 feet from the shrubs on that side of the house....
Open burning isn't even allowed without a day specific permit her and even then it's required to be 50 feet from any structure....
