  1. The beginnings of my meager collection.  One fake ass Rolex I got in a dice game.  The Breitling and Deep Blue are the ones I wear the most.  The UN, stays in the drawer in the winder.  I wear it now just when I feel the need.  My watch rules: 1 No quartz.  2 No repeat brand name.  3 No repeat color.  I've been eye fucking a Revue Thommen Air Speed (Red color) but also a red Victorinox.  Might come down to a coin flip.

  2. FYI ya'll,  I posted in the For Sale forum an Advanced Adaptors flywheel and Dakota Digital BIM 01 2 module, and Dakota Digital Ford Speedo Adaptor.  All of it new and not used.

  3. These were purchased for an LS swap then not used.  Opened the box on the flywheel to do a comparison check and closed it back up.  The one supplied by the engine builder was good enough.  Sells new (if I remember) a bit over 175.00 on their site.  I'll go 140 and ship for free or deliver if ya' close enough.  Includes instructions and the exteneded snout for some GM auto trans.   Check with them to ensure fitment.  Dakota Digital BIM  was unboxed and installed, during the test runs we needed the OBD port for the laptop, so I rehooked all the old sensors up so we could compare data from the OBD and the DD unit.  When we were done I just left the old style installed.  Other than that it's new.  Sells for 99.00. I'll do 75 and ship to ya.  Also have a DD Ford Speedo adaptor if anyone is interested.

  4. While I'm at it.  WTF is up with the idea of labeling plywood 23/32, 15/32 and wthever weird ass fractional size they come up with.  Can't we just agree that 3/4 or 1/2 is close enough?  I mean shit my tape measure don't measure that little and if it did I couldn't see it anyway.

    Automatic, do not want. I have 3 deal breakers, 1) manual transmission because I love it, and it won't be long before they are all gone, 2) Convertible, because I love it, no better feeling on a nice day, and 3) 4 seats, because I want to be able to take the family with me even if they bitch about their hair getting fucked up. 

    Those are all good positions to stand by.  When I was Corvette shopping I was insistent on a manual also.  We were over at some friends of ours for dinner and talking about cars and stuff and I was explaining what I wanted and why.  So I say, yeah I want a manual for burnouts and maybe an occasional doughnut and going to tailgates...blah blah. The Mrs breaks in and stays we should get a auto.  Say what! whose car is this?  She counters with did you hear yourself say tailgate?  Me...hmm....yeah maybe your right you'll probably be driving us after the game.  I wound up with an auto.  It has the paddle shifters of course, so I still can sorta run through the gears.

     

  6. Not all Mecums are over the top, it really depends on which show you go to.  Dallas, Kissimmee, Monterrey are not shows to go to with a small budget.  Unless you find a daily driver and buy early, like 1st day.  Iowa, Denver, Kansas City seem to keep the prices within reason in my book.  If you really wanna see some cash go down go to a Barrett Jackson, Worldwide or Leake auction.  I'm surprised they don't charge to breathe the air.

     

    On a unrelated side note, I took out my LS swapped CJ7 today for it's first test run today.  So far all is good.
