gil! i put my first bit of premix in. 4 oz per tank! already the engine feels smoother. but what sucked was that the cup i was using to help put it into the tank was a little big so it made it more difficult than it should have been =)

I have lived in Vegas for 40 years and contrary to what your fellow midwest member says, the finest restaurants and the best chiefs have invested here due to the tourism. Now the favorites for junk food may not be here but you will find we have good ones here also you just gotta know where to look. Don't know what you do for a living but if you post it I'll try to let you know what the market for your skills is. If you have a gambling problem or a drinking problem it may be best to stay away as it's available 24/7 here and has become a big problem for new arrivals.

Please tell me you are not looking at putting zero down on a house????? That makes as much sense as putting down nothing when you buy a car... From day one you are putting yourself in a negative equity situation... You should look at entering the deal with 25% down and an additional 20% of the homes value for furnishings. You should only look at a zero down or interest only loan if you are a well established property invester. Take a look at the market and see what happens when people get in to deep and play a game they can't afford. Use your head and not your emotion when buying a house. DO NOT fall in love with the house before you buy it. As we all know falling in love makes us make emotional decisions and not clear headed decisions....

its SOOO EASY! just go to a place where they sell the spray tint. (micheals? checker? autozone? im not sure)

then just tape off the area around it, maybe take out the corner, then spray them. 3 layers of the spray should be enough to match the BB color.

if you buy it today we can do it tomorrow at the meet.

i've smoked 2 of my friends car's lights...id rather do your corner those since they are so small and easy



how large is the inlet of the stock exhaust. i think thats what it is called, but im lookin to buy exhaust tips, and i need a tip that will match the stock pipe that is in between the muffler and our stock tips. i think the pipe is 3 inches, not sure tho. anyone know?

My daughter in law just graduted and finds that there is a good market here. Start applying while in Chi as most hospitals want a person living here to be here 4 months before considering them but will hire from elsewhere in a minute - who can figure???
