if the cops catch you on a hand held cell phone while driving in the socialist experiment that is ny and nj, they stop you and write you for a ticket. we're doomed.
The sad experiment had reached CT now as well... neighboring states are soon to be doomed as well!

i am so very glad to hear that you are able to see some light at the so called end of your tunnel....

i really hope this works out for you. i feel your pain, in the worst way... my car is down again. and i must say. i am going to do it right this time. learning the hard way truly is humbling.

Now that TransFats are banned in NY will they ticket you if you are caught eating frys and driving?

+1, I was almost killed by a woman who thought it was more important to look for her ringing cell phone than to stop at a red light. I was the one unlucky enough to be doing 50 (the limit) thru the intersection at that time. I was lucky, it only cost me a 98 ranger 4X4 (She also had no insurance).

Bruce hang in there, it will be worth it.

You should read around on Nasioc about Mark and all of his problems. It will definitely make you feel better.

there is nothing yet to report on the motor. i have left a message with ron at axis for an update on where the kelford cam is and when it will make it to cobb and i've heard nothing yet. i also e-mailed kelford and they have not responded. you would think that a company that sends out a defective cam to such a visible project would be more eager to look interested. the next round of communications are likely to be much less cordial.

meanwhile, i just read on nasioc that phil had a front wheel fail when his 6gun ball joint extender went fubar during a time attack lap, causing him to leave the track without injuries. i was going to install them on cutn edg before we were distracted by our current situation.

i've begun thinking about whether i want to install an accusump along with the hydramist and nitrous kits immediately when the motor arrives here. we've got a lot to do but it may be a good time to get it done.
