Nice looking dog! A friend had a pure breed white Husky with blue eyes...named it Chassis. Dog would run full speed then lay over on her shoulder and slide in fresh cut grass. Pretty soon she'd be bright green!

Re: Don't blame tuner cars for street racing tragedies
I agree 100%! It isn't the cars that are to blame for increased accidents...it is the attitudes of the drivers now. I used to drag race my '82 Crown Vic I had in high school against Taurus's, old farm trucks, whatever. But for the most part we were safe about it and shut it down before we hit lethal...

Re: my mom passed
Sorry to hear about that. My dad passed in '93 and I still think of him all the time. Especially now that I have a kid on the way...would have been his first grandchild.
Don't drink and drive (he did that and wrecked) or drink and go out in a boat...a good man died doing that.

Re: Poll: What do you guys do for a living?
Went to school for automotive restoration and restored cars for a few years. Moved to hook up with a girl...wife now. But no restoration shops around so I'm back in school for mechanical engineering.

Re: Ricer VS Tuner - The Final Frontier
My poor MX-3 was owned by a ricer...all kinds of interior trim pieces are brush painted white to match the exterior. The exterior was painted with automotive paint but literally ran with EACH pass of the spray gun. Plus overspray on the wheels....and the paint on the bumper so thick it is peeling of...

Re: FAILED! Stories of hope!
A guy I knew ALWAYS tried to hit every can he saw on the side of the road with his truck...and he always drove pretty new trucks that he kept detailed. One day he hit a full can of spray paint and it misted the entire side of his ride!

Re: Brake calipers :(
Autozone has a nice loaner tool program...pay a deposit, use the tool, then take the tool back and get your money back. They have a tool kit with a big C-clamp for brakes that also has attachments to twist in most caliper pistons. Lots of other parts stores have similar programs. If you got your rot...
