ok, so a bit of an exaggeration, yes it went strong and had no issues accelerating through the gears.

I just enjoy trolling the noobs when they asked stupid questions.

I seem to be doing just fine with minimum wage.

Work fuggin sucks, but I feel less bad for you Aaron when I look at the picture of your 2 cars in driveway from last summer..... its all relative.

On that note, my students had their finals tonight, summer officially off; always a good feeling.

Come on now, now your just digging your own hole,

to each their own, I would put it, Aaron (Zivman) has one of the well built/tuned Z in MN that's close to supercar status. It's just a damn shame he can never drive it cause he works 24/7.

Aaron I can never compare my work schedule with yours unless I too was a farmer. I thought farm prices where going up this year? (wheat,corn etc) I noticed building materials have been going out alot more compared to last year this time. Infact last year we were still in the hole till mid June in sales and this year we were already profiting by the end of March.

Yesterday those lights were on and I decided to open it up on a good road in St. Anthonys by the cadillac dealership where there are no cops, and it went like a bullet with out any problems... and no knocks or clicks in the engine or in any wheel bearings... so i'm baffled...
I will def. be sticking around on this forum, and not for problems. I hope to learn a lot and eventually give my own feedback
Well it could be from low fluid, worn pads, bad wheel speed sensors, possible ABS computer. Check with the simple stuff first check the fluid then the pads. If you're getting a service engine soon light check out what code it's shooting out.

no doubt, I don't ***** when I am sleeping in, in the off season and getting to the gym 5 days a week.

the cars are cool, but just wish I had a little opportunity to drive one...... that said, looking at an 818 this fall...

yes, those prices are going up, but that actually hurts us.... we are fresh market and a lot of the inputs are the same - fert, chem, fuel, land, irrigation. So when field crop prices increases, the demand for the inputs increases.... all the while, our prices rise considerably less.

I ***** a lot this time of year, but it's all relative. Just been hard the last 3 yrs
