Yikes that sucks :sad:

I've realized through this thread that I don't speak car, most of it is Greek it me :lol:

Sorry if it bored the non-car crowd :smile: but you gotta admit it's an impressive pic
And not to worry, that pic is years old

Thanks for the link

Glad you like the link gregzz4...interesting stuff around each bend! I've come across loads of fossils as well just out in hiking the mountains!




...and now for something completely different.

Happy Egg Holiday...now you can super clean your dishes! lol

Last Aug with my 462 in my Trans Am, I came back from a car show in Williams lake. Long line of traffic, Passing lane coming up. So I put my foot down a little, 125kph, nothin big. Get close to the end of the passing lane, Ohh, 2 cars left, I open secondarys, RPM goes to 5000, Pullin great, then nothin. No bang, just no power. Little bit of smoke in rearview. Pull over, now lots of smoke. Engine bay filled with oil.
Turns out, a head gasket went like right now. Filled crankcase up with coolant, and when I let the ponies loose, reverse hydrolocked #5cyl, splitting piston then cracking the block to the water jacket :sad:

Blocks since been sleeved, and will be Powdercoating it next week. Just need to order the new stroker crank and other internals, and have my heads redone. Hopin end of May!!!!
Nice Sunday car show turned into a $4000 affair

Seeing as there's some car talk, here's a pic of our last stop at chain lakes yesterday. We started with 16 cars, a mix of vettes, challenger, charger, Shelbys and of course camaros. No blown motors, tires etc, a great day.

:( I don't see any fish'n poles!

There were tons of people out ice fishing. As beautiful as it was yesterday, the wind had a nasty bite to it. We didn't stay long.

Nice. Tomorrow might be going for a drive ourselves back-country style in Kananaskis. Enjoy the snow while it's still there I guess.

It's so pretty in that area! We're going thru again once I get my summer tires back on, we meant to last year in the fall but didn't get to it. Enjoy the day!:biggrin:

@ the chain lakes area range road 532 can be taken into the mountains...it's one of our favorite drives. The road wraps around Plateau Mountain. One of our best times was 'bum sliding' down an old avalanche path in the spring. LOL Slid down (controlled) aprox 200 feet!

Will have to check it out next time, thanks for the link.

Happy Egg day to everyone and their kiddies. Mine was like a bloodhound on a mission! lol

I find it funny (that 90% of the time) the items I sell that I think will sell fast take forever to sell, while the items I think will take forever to sell end up selling very fast.

Anyone else notice that?

It's typical lol

Finally!!!!!

We bought our first house today! :mrgreen: we are so excited to move into something we can finally make our own! Still have 1 1/2 months til possession and I'm going nuts already!

A very big congrats! I remember when we bought our first...so I'm sure how happy you are. :)

Sure you will tell the whole world before me!! And here I thought we were friends :twised:

Congrats dude!!

Lol yea yea cry baby! Thanks dude so stoked. Taking possession may 15 and renovating then moving in june 1st!

Congrats!

This is turning out to be one very expensive month.

New furnace and hot water tank $5580.00

Dental work for the dog (goes in on thurs.) estimate $600-800

I owe the government $412.00 in taxes :sad:

Thankfully my amazing parents are helping by paying for most of it

OOh, that looks like fun. What car club is that? I would have guessed some kind of Camaro thing but guess not with the Dodges and Fords..

I want a car like that. :cry:

Looks like the "still under powertrain warranty" car club

No I think it's the "don't go around corners" car club :twised:

My random thought is this inspirational photo

http://i998.photobucket.com/albums/a...F36DC91488.jpg

No club, just a bunch of people who wanted to go for a ride. theres a few planned over the summer months.

. Nope, mines the only one still stock, most of the others have done some crazy mods.

We like corners best!:lol:

Congrats dude :wink:

Here's a couple of photos of our drive a couple of years ago on the way to the Reynolds museum, kinda got stopped:(
We all got warning letters in the mail about possible speeding:)

Cannot wait to see what is next! LOL

Where did my POTM badge go?? Dont tell me they are not permanent cause they should be for everyone that has won it !!

A member of the common folk once again :)

But how do you feel special if everyone has one eventually? :razz:

(Don't ask me, I'm not in charge of that department).

Pretty sure it's only for the month. It's like a trophy, once someone else wins it, you give it up. Time to take some new pics and reclaim your prize!! :)

Indeed. It's more like the Stanley Cup than the Olympics. You don't get to keep the prize. You do get to keep the bragging rights though, so maybe post something in this thread once a month to remind everyone that you were POTM for February 2013.

Yes the way the software works it is exactly like a physical trophy. It is assigned to whomever won the the most recent POTM.

I think everyone that has won should have it, it a badge of honor. :biggrin:

But i dont want to give it up :cry:
