Raven07

Patriots DB Alfonso Dennard found guilty of felony assault on a police officer on an incident that happened last April, days before the draft. Sentencing date set for April 11. That's according to several reports on Twitter, nothing "official" yet.

Things keep getting better and better for that New England secondary.

I couldn't either get hooked on it either..

So instead of starting another series I just restarted The Office.. Yessir

yes, the office. love it.

I'll never look at you the same again!

lol He's a very friendly person and loves just talking and relaxing. we talked shop about cars for the longest time, since he came out from around the corner of the garage and saw my 370z and was like " WHOSE GOT THE Z?!?!" and went from there lol

If you like cars, you'll love Walt's choice: A Pontiac Aztek!

I still can't believe that AMC is making us wait until Summer 2013 to finish Breaking Bad!

never could get hooked on breaking bad.. i know its a hit, im just having a hard time trying to gain interest AFTER my car shows and the velocity network

Yeah. You can tell he's genuinely down to earth. One of the rare celebrities that genuinely deserves the coin thrown their way. He must be banking these days. Several shows he either stars in or narrates as well as all the commercial deals. Good for him.

How did he get started in show business?

he will be more than happy to sign anything for you or take a photo because he said " you pay my bills, you all make it so that i keep doing what i do now, how can i be mad or not be grateful for the public whom watches the TV so it keeps me in the job? i will gladly take photos and sign things for you"

so yea... there ya go. Im Mike Rowe's 2nd Cousin....Kyle. better known on here as Raven07!

he also sang Opera in College...... ( to impress the girls) hasnt sung opera since then lol He did tell us, only because we asked him.... we asked him " Mike, are there any shows on TV that are on there because of Dirty jobs?"........... he told us " yes, all the shows you see now, pawn stars, american pickers, american restoration, Cajun Pawn stars, Swamp People... all the reality shows are a direct result of Dirty Jobs."

Fun Fact: he's been dating the same girl now for over 19 years now....... she works for a bank, and they both say " we are happy the way we are, why risk messing something up?" lol not bad looking either lol

fun fact for all of you. Dirty Jobs was Actually Mike's idea. he came up with the idea, and discovery liked it, and then Discovery Bought the idea exc, from him.

we all think its pretty funny that Mike is the host of a show called dirty jobs.......... since as a kid, he was a clean freak, didnt want to get his hands dirty type thing..... and now look lol. so we all just laugh.

oh and even though Discovery canceled Dirty Jobs recently, dont feel bad for Mike, he's got plenty on his plate, his schedule is booked! so be on the lookout.

this is me with Cousin Mike.

what you see on TV is exactly how he is in private, hes not the type of person that flaunts money and what he has exc. no hes humble and just a really cool, nice guy to talk shop with.

The Photos of him in the Grey Dutch harbor shirt were from July 14th , 2012

the others are from christmas 2007. all photos were taken at my house.

one thing he told us was " Fame... isnt all its cracked up to be.... i live out of a suitcase, im never home, i have no life, im always on some sort of schedule and if i want time off, they have to schedule it.... if say.. i want to see you guys... My family.... it has to work with my schedule.... which sucks! and i can no longer fly publicly, i get mobbed everywhere i go so im forced to fly privately ... you have any idea how expensive private jets are?! even for celebrities , its unreal expensive!........ be careful what you wish for, the money is good yea sure but money isnt everything... and look at me... i have no life. so my advice to you guys....be careful what you wish for"

You sure like cars! And could you hook me up with a Mike Rowe autograph, lmao?

i love cars, especially Le Mans and Formula 1. ..GT Academy exc. ... i would watch more of my cousin IF... IF i wasnt related to the guy.

for those of you who dont believe me that Mike is infact my cousin. here. lol

i was the photographer for these.

Family Guy, Deadliest Catch, sometimes Dirty Jobs ( im related to Mike so i dont really watch the show lol) NFL network, Velocity channel, SPEED channel, Formula 1 Racing. Le Mans 24 hours, Top Gear....

pics! of the Joe Dirt Mullet with that beast

i do however want to do a time trial once my finances get straight and all. The Z is an absolute BLAST to drive. A True Sports car without spending a whole lot of cash. but the only place around where i live... is the Cecil County Drag Strip, which i want an actual track. lol

the other pet peeve that people have about this Z... is the road noise. which this doesnt mind me, sports cars are more geared for the experience, rather than luxury. the road noise i something i pay no attention to, this may differ from person to person but if you really care too much of the noise, then dont get a sports car.

lol nah,im into it for show, never taken it to the track before, and the only upgrade my car has on it is the Intakes, boosting the HP from 332 to 350 hp. nothing else done to it...

Mine is just a Base Model, nothing special, nothing fancy. No Turbo's, No special equipment. No Touring. Nothing but a base. No Blue Tooth, no Navagation, no heated seats, no XM radio. no upgraded BOSE sound system. Just a Base with basic BOSE speakers.

My Z is a 7 speed automatic. when in regular automatic mode, the gears only go 1 through 6,but when you shift the gear over to manuel, the car's system adds another gear to it making it a 7 speed, you can use either the paddle (or slap shifters) located behind the steering wheel or you can use the gear box shifter and shift just like a regular manuel, only difference is that there is no clutch, so when the RPM's get high, just hit the paddle shifters or shift up on the knob ...thats it. Weighing in at just over 3,000 pounds its lighter than its prodcessor..the 350z. it puts out around 270 pounds of torque (before anything modified) and is a handling machine through the turns.

The Rear wheel drive make it not suitable for snow, mainly a spring and summer car, im a Nissan guy for life now.... after sitting in the cockpit of the Z for the very first time (before buying mine) it was love at first sight.... i had to have it..

besides, there's a reason why my insurance is $877 a YEAR for my 2011 Nissan 370z. i dont drive like a bat outta helL lol i drive nice and slow, with the assurance knowing the power is there if i need it.

i simply cant afford everything i want for it. lol.

oh and i bought blind spot mirrors (the blind spots in the Z are horrible. you realyl have to turn your headto check before switching lanes. so the mirrors were a must.

My Stillen Gen 3 intakes.

My Z

and here's a picture inside behind the wheel. (picture is a few months old)

3.7 liter here

intakes for my Z are being installed as we speak, called the place, they said they were half way done... will post pictures of it when i pick it up

they better of wrapped the A/C lines to prevent rubbing, and eventual wearing on pipes leading to damage.. like i told them 2 times to do before i took it in...

.........i know that will....you sucker got a twin turbo! vs my stock 370z...... not fair!

tires are stock tires from dealership...yokohama high performance tires, 19 inch stock rims

i hope that 370z is Manual.

why do you say that?

it being an automatic or regular manuel, doesnt have any effect as to power of the car, 332 hp, still the same.

mine? (thus being the only one on the lot) its an automatic 7 speed, with Paddle or Slap shifters. which means say your going on the highway in auto... and you want to go manuel.... just flip the shift knob over and your now in manuel, and being in manuel mode, means this car can reach that 7th gear.. regular manuels only go 1 to 6 gear. Mine goes to 7th. and you can either up shift with the paddle shifters ORRR you can shift just like a regular manuel with the knob...just minus the clutch.also say your in 7th gear driving on the highway.... and all the sudden you need to stop but you dont have time to..... The car compensates for you not shifting and shifts to the lower gears for you. regular manuels will not.

its a push start car also. you just have to have the key fob on you near the car and hold your foot on the brake and hit the start button at the same time for the engine to fire up (safety mechanicism for children) just in case a child hops in my car and sees the start engine button and presses it, all that would turn on would be the battery, not the engine. in order for you to turn the engine on, you have to hold in the brake and hit the start button.

so overall...... from personal oppinion and what i just stated... the automatic Z is better than the manuel.

,

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.

haha same here, wanted the nismo, but ut started 40 grand,...and the sport and touring package was like 36 grand... so i settled for the base model... 32 grand, negoiated a grand off the price, and put down 12,000 for it

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.,,,,

hmmmm could it be that you actually love the Z more? hincethe reason why you bought that car for the familiarity haha

love the house! And now I dont feel like a creeper for keeping pics of cars that I dont have anymore haha.

haha wishlist!.... thats what my GT-R is on.... my wish list lol!

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.

yea lol im a little sketchy on exactly how much it increases but for now i can only go off of what it apparently says..... 17.5 HP gains..... so 349.5 overall lol but i also bought it because apparently is increases your mpg by 2-3 miles, getting 23-24 mpg right now city.

go all out man and get yourself a nismo! (your name speaks for itself! haha) 350 hp stock. v6 engine. everytyhing.

i do plan on taking it to the track and seeing what it runs.... i also plan on going to my dealership and buying a nismo catback exhaust system ...further increasing the overall HP of the car ( from what car nuts have told me) betters the air flow throughout the car thus resulting in overall HP gains.

2011 Nissan 370z..... v6 engine..332 horsepower (stock), 230 pounds of torque, weighs just over 3,000 pounds...

Mods: STillen gen 3 intake (being installed on tuesday)....overall horsepower gain of 17.5... bringing it to 349.5
