  11. Dam right it has! While we are on the subject has anyone seen the Lexus ads calling their car a Muscle Car !! :stupid: BULL S..t !!Muscle cars were big, gasoline drinking, raw power, mine is bigger than yours type car. That rattled, smoked tires, and had vinyl seats, not some pu..y leather seats like some old guy had in his Cadillac! They will never be made again and any one claming that his Lexus is a Muscle Car, ask him to name a Muscle Car from the 60's and when he gives you the deer in the headlights look, grab his cell phone and palm pilot shove them up his a.. Oh speaking of palm pilots . . . how many guy remember when a palm pilot was someone in high school that was being accused of pleasuring himself.

  13. Last weekend I was driving home and noticed a 240Z on a trailer going into my subdivision, so I decided to follow and find out who this guy is. We did not have time to talk but we exchanged names and I planned to get back to see him next week. Well today (3/13/03) I dropped by after work and follow this Link to get more photos and the story.

    How many Texans does it take to eat an Armadillo? 3 One to eat and 2 to watch for cars. Did you her about the Texan that was too big to fit in a coffin? The undertaker gave him an enema and put him in a shoe box! Ok now my favorite about my state (California) There are a lot fruits and nuts in California and not all of them are on the trees!
  15. What a beautiful vision. But I just always have to stop and ask myself the question when I see a woman like that . . . . . . . would she be a good mother? . . . , , , , , , :stupid:
  16. You can report that kind of activity to eBay.
  17. I have access to a rolled 260 that that roof is ok and will be expeimenting with a slide back sunroof. I have a 93 Saturn SC2 with a roof not much larger that a 240 and I think I can get it to work. It is a pop up type.

    I strongly suggest that you get the Wiring Simplified book it is only $11 and will help make sure if your wire size is correct. Saving $11 is not worth burning down your home and maybe taking someone with
  19. BATHE A CAT =================== 1. Thoroughly clean toilet. 2. Lift both lids and add shampoo. 3. Find and soothe cat as you carry him to bathroom. 4. In one swift move, place cat in toilet, close both lids and stand on top, so cat cannot escape. 5. The cat will self agitate and produce ample suds. (Ignore ruckus from inside toilet, cat is enjoying this) 6. Flush toilet 3 or 4 times. This provides power rinse, which is quite effective. 7. Have someone open outside door, stand as far from toilet as possible and quickly lift both lids. 8. Clean cat will rocket out of the toilet and outdoors, where he will air dry. Sincerely, The Dog

    Wow good catch Daniel, but to everyone else out there please be aware that on TVs there is some very very very high voltage items that have a charge after the TV is disconnected from a power source. The high voltage can stop your heart:dead: so before you very go into a TV please make sure you have been shown how to discharge the this high voltage.
  21. If the seller is a dealer then he should be able to provide a CarFax report.

    Go down to your local hardware store and get Wiring Simplified and you will get the information you will need to do any wiring for 220 or 110

    I would open the radio yourself and just look around for discolored items and you may find the cause an if you can replace. Or you may want to contact the local Community College or look for an old semi retired TV / Radio repairman that still likes to tinker.
  24. I have 260Z parts car that I think still has the door glass, I will check tonight
  25. My first car was a 68 Cortina, it did not have the over head cam but it was a fun car to drive. I grew up it the Southern California Desert in the wonderful town of California City which had many graded but un paved dirt roads. She was a dream in a drift and always came back if she got a little out of shape. She came stock with headers and I would leave the house for school in Mojave (20 miles away) and about 1 mile down the road would "uncork" the headers then drive on in. Man I thought I was cool! Unfortunately since she was my first car she had a short life due to my treatment. In 73 my dad traded her for a 73 Dodge Colt which was my introduction to the quality of Japanese autos. I remember my mother going through a car wash and the attendant telling her that he would not be responsible for thing that fell off her piece of Japanese junk!
