  1. Mr Clooney begs to differ!
  2. haha, 1/28/01 Jr. looks like he's ready go for a cruise! Here's the one I just bought: Gonna sand her down and repaint it this weekend!
  3. I just bought an E36 today too! Mine isn't the convertible though. Will post some pics tomorrow! Nice find, can't wait to see it with the top down!
  4. I kinda had a feeling you wouldn't let her go! You always spoke so fondly of the CJ!
  5. Have an interesting project coming up hopefully in the next week or so as I find time! I got a great deal on a '98 BMW 740iL. Original owner sold me the car, 88k miles, interior in mint condition but has some paint flaws on the rear quarter panel due to his motorcycle falling on it (a little ding too). I could just pull the dent out and spray it, but the car is a dark green and I'm not a big fan of the color -- so, I'm gonna paint it midnight blue. So what, you ask? Here's where it gets interesting... I'm going to paint it myself -- with a roller! To most sane people, this must sound absurd, but I did this to a previous car with awesome results. The point of doing this is: 1) Saving a couple thousand bucks 2) Simple gratification of doing something that not many others have done! All in all, this will cost just under $400. 3 qt. HOK Midnite Blue ($85/qt) 1 qt. HOK Primer and Activator ($50 total) 1 qt. Kosmic Klear ($40) various hardeners, mineral spirits, etc... (~ $50) I do have a sprayer, and will do certain sections with that (door jams, etc) but most of the body will be done with a high density foam roller. Will post some before / after pics when this is all done!
  6. Financially the Z71 probably is the best option...not to mention it is, uh, "spacious". Surprisingly, the Caddy would be my last choice of the three you mentioned. I'm partial to the Denali, but if I take my bias out, I'd say go with the Z71
  7. Cant lose either way! I'd honestly just go with whichever is the best deal financially. I've always loved Denalis; best combo of the Suburban's ruggedness and the Caddy's luxury..
  8. lmao ... I thought maybe a Hummer with 28" chrome spinners ...
  9. Ever wondered what The Ultimate Warrior is up to these days? Click here I never knew he was that much of an idiot.
  10. freaking' ricerz
  11. , not that I think it's ugly, it just has a weird mix of old school and new school. Just looks like it was patched together. Maybe if you tighten up the gaps and clean it up a little I'd have a different opinion,,,,,,,,,,,,
  12. , really not a fan of that...thing. Looks like the byproduct of a Hummer getting drunk one night and picked up a Wrangler at the gas station.,,,,,,,,
  13. Love it. That's always been my main gripe with Jeeps -- the lack of torque. That 6.6L should take care of that.
  14. Procomp FTW
  15. Very nice!
  16. love the house! And now I dont feel like a creeper for keeping pics of cars that I dont have anymore haha.
  17. , yeah, not a big deal, since if you're going to mod the car that's one of the first mods you should make anyway. It's just that that motor already is a beast; there's not much power left to pull out of it without going FI. i'd love to grab a Nismo, but unfortunately (for me lol) that's outta my budget for a play car. Besides, I actually prefer the older Z32 like the one above; I actually carried a pic of a Z32 in my wallet for 10 years. Was my dream car...ended up throwing twin turbos in it. Since then I've become obssessed with BMW's. May sound strange but the reason I bought the 335i is because it reminded me so much of the Z...the power delivery and way it handled felt very familiar; but with a modern interior.,,,,
  18. Was reminiscing about my 300ZX; here's a couple pics I have of it. The day I picked it up: just had to stop to take a pic on the way home: couple weeks later:
  19. Thank you for asking, but she wont be alright when I see her tomorrow. lol ( ? -- not sure yet if I am joking or not ). I'd love a CJ, but that beast wont work as my DD or I'd be PM'ing you right now.
  20. My sister just wrecked my 335i today. Looks like I'm going to total it. Not a happy camper right now. I'm driving around in my 1993 740iL that is in the middle of being gutted. Dont even have the exhaust back on yet, I ordered an exhaust yesterday and pulled off the stock exhaust today so all I have to do is bolt on the new one when it arrives. Now I'm driving around like one of those dooshes that hang out at gas station parking lots: loud *** exhaust, Taco Bell wrappers on the floor, a muffler attached with coat hangers and tape...all I need is a wing and spray paint the hood, and I'll be ready to pick up some hunnies at Sheetz!
  21. i'd love to see a dyno run proving Stillen's claim of 17 HP from an intake on a stock V6 already making 332 HP. So if ya happen to take it out on a dyno at any point, be sure to share on here.
  22. well, the main reason I stopped following wrestling was twofold; one was I simply much prefer the old format/presentation, especially WCW/NWA, and secondly I worshipped Ric Flair and when it was apparent that he was just going to be used as a parody of his former self, I didn't want to be around for that... I mention this, because I have some Ric Flair videos, and he talks about what BS businessmen Crockett and Bischoff were, and how well MCMahon treats his people. Not having all the facts, I tend to believe that Macho was more to blame for any lingering hard feelings...
  23. i wouldn't be surprised if either rumor was true, although neither reallly makes sense to me.
  24. i haven't followed wrestling since the nwo days...what was Vince's problem with Savage?
  25. You know, for the longest time I used to tease the guys I know who cried when Dale Earnhardt died. I thought to myself how could those goofs cry over the death of someone they never met or knew personally.Sad to say, I understand it now with this news of Macho.God bless.
