Sad that the MN statute says 50% =/-3% and he ticketed her... I'd bring that to court. I have no doubt that it'd be dropped.





Guys! I'll be down in the cities Wed and Thurs 27-28 for MEPS. That Thursday afternoon I'll be free and willing to meet up with some guys for lunch or something before I head back home.

I love all the 240-260-280 Z's.


I'll give you a ring when I'm down there.


Basically I wake up at 5:00a.m. and get my physical, bunch of testing medical-wise, go over my information, take the oath, and officially join the Air Force. After that I just wait for my shipment date.








Speaking of 260Z's... are you following this guy's RB26DETT 260Z build?

Nice! Are you in a service? Would you happen to know which hotel it'll be? I know Dave isn't too far from MOA.

I think it's near Ft Snelling, which is closer to the airport. There's plenty of places around there. Bring lots of dollar bills, and we can go to the lunch buffet at Rick's Cabaret.

^^ On that note, I have been eyeing a 1966 FURY with 3 on the tree and slant 6
Kind of want to buy her...selling my Geneva suburban limo/camper, so I feel I deserve another toy (not-married)

Weigh the complete motor and transmission and compare the weights to the VQ. The last thing you want is a much heavier front end.

You can always swap in an LS2, which comes in at 20lbs lighter than the VQ IIRC.

What side emblems? The ones on the fenders?
