    Drive package value

    Sorry, thought I got all the info the first time. It's a 79 model, has a little bigger cam than stock, performer intake, roller rockers, a little porting, running a 650 holley marine spreadbore. The drive is actually an MR I believe but a Alpha gen I will bolt right up, as I understand not...

    New Smoking Health Warnings...

    If everyone in America quit at the same time the country would be bankrupt in less than 2 weeks. Then they would have to find something else to bitch about and tax the hell out of us on.

    sewing machine?

    As someone who has also been trying to teach himself how to do upholstery I have a couple of thoughts. The industrial machines are just what the name implies, they will sew your fingers together before you know they went thru. I have bought 2 of them in the last 6 months. The first is a mid...

    Trouble sleeping? Chronic fatigue? Anyone? CPAP?

    I've been using a CPAP for the last 8 years or so. Cannot sleep without it now. For those of you get the machine that has the water tank with it. Mine has that and it humidifies the air for you and does not dry you out so soon. I've had to use mine a few times without the water and I dont...

    Wanna go to a service person's funeral??

    Being born and raised in the state (Kansas) these idiots are from I've watched this crap for years. If it was not the soldiers it was abortion they protested. Every percieved problem this country has they attribute to gays. They call it a church but the only members are family and I have...

    If they ban it all where do you think that tax money is going to come from? What a dick.

    Cobalt Jet Boat??

    They are rare but not as rare as the guy makes out. The hull is just like mine (but mines a mercruiser) and it's a heavy pig. I would not think the jet would move it along very fast. Mines like 3400 lbs empty, and they have 50 gallon gas tanks.

    The B-29 Landing,,,,

    Seeing as I build airplanes for a living, I'm pretty sure we did not design it to do that.

    Start Explaining

    You know the difference between a prostitute, a mistress, and a wife? The prostitute ask's "are you done yet". The mistress say's "are you done already". The wife say's "beige, I think I'll paint the ceiling beige".

    So, how small is TOO small of a boat..............

    My 19' Cobalt was originally sold in California and I have a bunch of mooring reciepts from Catalina Island so the original owners had no issue taking it over I guess.

    What oil do you run in your ENGINE?

    Pennzoil in everything I own for the last 36 years and never had an oil related engine failure. The ones I've overhauled after running it were clean and shiny inside at teardown.
