  1. hey i thought you guys would like to know the story of "hotwheels" http://staceydavid.com/episodes/hot-wheels-story-new-goodyear-mtr-tires
  2. sure it would look stock... all the 4.3 ltr v6 is was a 350 with the front two cylinders cut off!
  3. actually theres people out there doing that already! you ever hear of people taking the used frying oil from places like kfc and etc...? what they do is take that and with a little work they were able to make fuel for there diesel powered cars/trucks(i say that hince vw jettas as a car is a diesel options whith it!) for as of just 2-3 years ago some people just did some basic math to figure out what they where paying and it came out to be about 75 cents (usd dollar) a gallon compared to almost 4 dollars a gallon just down the road today! if i can find the tv show there was one on the show trucks tv when stacey david was hosting (now hosted by morons ... even though im following project super dually!) but stacey actually did a show on renewable energy and he made some home made diesel and it burns cleaner and produces more power (which we all love) and lower cg's! and gotta question for the so called "experts"... what about our classic antique cars? what are they going to run on?...we converted them to run on unleaded fuel (even though why do we call it unleaded when lead was banned ages ago?)... now what do we need to convert them to now!? but hey thats my 2 cents! my vote dont count anymore so who knows where america will go from here. but i will say i love america for where we are now and where we came from and i love my guns and if you try to change it then your going to have to come through me!!! that should be all of our attitudes!

  10. the other day i saw a late 20's early 30's hot rod a guy ownes wiz on by me while im going to work dont know what it is exactly but it is cooler than a two dollar pistol! also saw an old 70/71 chevelle dont know whether it was a bb or not but it didnt sound like one to me and dont forget all the motorcycle riders are out in full force so drive safely guys!
  11. My Grandfather is an Korean Vet then theres my Step Grandfather who i just found out when i first met him is also a Korean Vet! they both served in the ARMY But was in different Battalions, my father served in the Air Force he was one of the technicians that worked on the aircraft (was surprisingly never in a war) my brother "TRIED" to join up with the army i think and i guess they changed there acceptance applications or something cause i/my brother/my father all have the same exact hearing and hince my father served in the military i think he got out around the early 60's just prior to "NAM" but they would not take my brother so i was planning on joining the air force back then but i said since they didnt take him and im the same way with my hearing (i guess it comes from all of us shooting guns all the time) i just didnt bother but now im 26 and i guess they wouldnt take me now or i dont know! but gettting back to the family in the services ordeal... i have heard stories from my mother that i had a great uncle i believe that he was a POW in a german prison camp and the thing that kept him alive was his last name was german other than that they would have probably killed him on the spot! and i have relatives that one i think was a sister to the queen of england or something way back when and another was a royale guard to which i believe but im going to sit my mother down and get all the names and history of my name! So many thanx to all our Vets of the past, Vets of the present, and Vets of the future! for keeping this land that i call "AMERICA" the land of the free and the home of the brave! for how the song goes at the end!- I LOVE MY COUNTRY! I LOVE MY GUNS! I LOVE MY FAMILY! I LOVE THE WAY IT IS NOW! AND ANYBODY THAT TRIES TO CHANGE IT HAS TO COME THROUGH ME! CAUSE THAT SHOULD BE ALL OF OUR ATTITUDES! CAUSE THIS IS AMERICA AND A COUNTRY BOY'S GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME SON! - CHARLIE DANIELS (COUNTRY BOY BY AARON LEWIS) SEAN BRADY
