Chris - my ford truck has a V-10 engine in it too........with mods of course. :biggrin but something tells me your V-10 powered VW is faster. :pop when i lock in my 4.30 gears with my ARB air lockers she don't like to turn much but thats ok because it will climb over anything thats in its way anyway. :banana

btw, that sure is a goodlookin trailer you got there. it looks just like mine except its white. hmmm, i wonder where i got the idea to get a trailex trailer from :lol :lol

Well, Sir, I would if I could ... but I can't, so I won't!

Believe it or not, 'Slider, I JUST REC'D my new digital camera (Cannon SD900 if that means anything to anybuddy). 'Never owned a digital B4. So, I've been sittin' here looking at this lump of 21st Century tech & it's so called "instructions" trying to figger 'em BOTH out with a 20th century brain.

As soon as I get a "tech wizz" (my 2nd born or her husband) to cut thru all the techno crap & 'SPLAIN to me how to DO that there "postin'" stuff - I'll get right on it for yuh!:lol

Seriously, I'm going to quit wasting my time with the lack luster instructions and just have one of the kids SHOW me. That's all it will take.

(I've never seen such a FLOOD of superfluous written CRAP in one place in my LIFE. Good lord, there are 4 - COUNT 'EM...FOUR - manuals in the dang box with this thing!!!!! The dang camera is literally the size of a crush proof box of cigarettes - AND THE REST OF THE 6"X9" SHIPPING BOX IS FULL OF MANUALS AND OTHER CRAP! NUTS TO THAT!!!!!!!:mad )

Larry, My Cannon PowerShot 400 got wet in Africa, cost more to fix it, so I replaced is with a Cannon PowerShoot SD1000. Neat pocket camera. But me a man, you don't need no stinking manuals. After all the only Manual I know cuts my lawn, captain of the Rio Grande swim team:banana

Ya, Ya, Ya ... whudever. BUT, YOU'VE HAD DIGITALS B4! :skep

And WHY do these 'peoples' need to make all the buttons so small! 'They make these suckers any more tiny, the magnifyin' glass you'll have to carry to FIND 'em will be bigger than the stinkin' camera.

Dis is unnecessarily ridickaluss.:bs

Great looking car everetto - Stormcat has to see the Mosler :eek -

"The central structure of the tub is carbon fiber over honeycomb
aluminum core and the entire flat bottom underside is Kevlar – the same material used in bulletproof vests. And there are 16 layers of carbon fiber in the roof liner. The company that tested it said it was the strongest car they have ever tested."

I've been to the Mosler Shop in Delray Bch , FL. It's only 40 min. from home. It's an interesting car for sure !!!

Canon G7. Love it. No small buttons either. All black too, the way a camera (and a GT) should be...

i don't own a digital camera. i plan on getting one someday. i took the pix of my GT with my trusty old 35 mm cannon. its a $200 camera with zoom and auto focus that i bought 10 years ago. its so used that it sometimes won't load film unless i cut part of the film off the roll. :frown i take my photos to walgreens and get them developed. they put them onto a CD for me and then i upload them to my computer. my racing pix that i get from the track photographers i scan onto my computer with my scanner. when it comes to computer stuff and whatnot i am living in the twilight zone. i have some awesome videos of me engaging in various types of motorsports and shooting guns, etc. one of these days i am gonna get them put onto CD's and upload them to my computer. before that i will probably end up getting a digital camera though. :cheers

There's a bigger contrast in my garage, Freddy!
My GT sits right beside my grandfather's 1937 Chrysler Royal 5 window business coupe!!!! Talk about a "generation gap!"
:rofl
Grampa's ol' Chrys just TOWERS over the GT!!!!! AND THEY'RE BOTH 2 SEATERS!!!
It's just jaw dropping to see the huge difference side by side. 'Unbelieveable!:lol

Love to see pics of the 37:thumbsup

Dang fast freddy you have a nice setup there. I expected a diesal with a different turbo but nice none the less.

in addition to the 4.30 gears and arb air lockers my ford superduty's V-10 gets the job done with JBA headers and a superchips computer retune. i put in a supplemental fuel tank in the bed compliments of transfer flow. it holds 50 gallons of 91 octane and is digitally controlled via wiring into the main computers harness. every 3 gallons of fuel burned the auxilliary tank will transfer fuel to the main tank via its own fuel pump. the computer will keep more fuel in the 50 gallon auxilliary tank than the main 29 gallon tank until the the total combined fuel load is less than the capacity of the main tank by itself. once there is less than 29 gallons of total fuel it will keep more in the main tank and less in the auxilliary tank. its a very smart system and totally regulates itself. it has a little "LED" like plasma screen in the cab that tells me fuel levels in both tanks independently and combined. i carry a total of 79 gallons of gas between the two tanks but i only get 9 miles to the gallon towing with my 38 inch tires etc, so.......

Very well, Sir. I will do that.
Mr. GTNJ sez he wants to see 'em too. So, I guess I better get on it.
'Daughter's comin' over tomorrow nite to "hold class". Then it's just a matter of getting to it.
(Crap! Now I gotta clean out the garage for the photo shoot! :ack )

well i can see your already on the right track. :thumbsup i learned along time ago that a good picture is not so much about the equipment that you use or even the subject that you are shooting. its all about the timing and everthing that surrounds the money shot, such as the background scenery and lighting, etc...... so no pressure, lol...... when i am feelin lazy i just stick my ride in front of my garage door and call it a day. :bored

Krymuny. That stuff never ends around here...

Nope. 'Gunna do the "munny shot" with 'em both inside. It's not like I was doin' a 'shoot for Motor Trend or something for Pete's sake.:lol (I hope the Cannon is water proof!)
