Hey, now! Redneck, no. Country, maybe. More correctly, I think, city boy turned country. My Saturday morning a couple weeks ago consisted of feeding cows into a cattle crush, tagging and vaccinating them, and steering the male calves, if that sways it more toward country. I've also never lived...

No ex for me. I get to use all my spending money on ammo and car parts :D

In that case, I don't have that problem :cornut:

Just did that last spring. It was horrible, and it was only 2/3's of my stuff. :surrender:

I'm sure that would turn out marvelously. :ack2:

DOT4 brake fluid is made up mostly of diols, ethers, and esters. Gasoline is comprised of so many different chemicals that it would take me all night to even list them. If it's not rated for gasoline, don't use it as fuel line. It might be fine for a month, but forget to drain the tank over the...

I seem to remember them carrying that translucent green-yellow line, though I could be wrong.

Any hardware store will sell the type of line you need. Lowe's and Home Depot should even have it.

That's why I never throw anything with a potential use away :lolgoku:

Very nice score! I'm almost jealous! I've been wanting a 'scope. I knew there was a reason I clicked on this thread! What's that now? Relocate?

It would be just like driving a manual car. You can red-line the engine and drop the clutch, engine brake, etc.

That was down right hilarious.

Estate tax is 40%! "Aww, Granny just died. Here's your tax bill!" -IRS :censored: Luckily, Congress extended the exemption to $5.25 million for 2013.

Yes, 1800 intake strokes per minute at 3600 RPM. :thumbsup: To elaborate on my previous post, IIRC, 70-80% volumetric efficiency (that is, 70-80% of atmospheric pressure in the combustion chamber) is very good for a naturally aspirated engine. If a Predator had a volumetric efficiency of 70%...

Of course the 10 years is generally long enough to see a gain, regardless of any troughs. A couple of good mutual funds certainly wouldn't be a bad idea. Unfortunately, it generally takes a smart person to get rich and an even smarter one to stay rich. You could always make your bank really...

Well... 212cc converts to 12.9370337 cubic inches...which converts to 0.00748671 cubic feet Multiply 0.00748671 by 1800, you get 13.476078 So, best case scenario (like you'd ever actually achieve atmospheric pressure in a ICE combustion chamber :rolleyes:), you're moving 13.476078 CFM of air...

...and hope that the market continues to climb, rather than "double dip". I can't wait to see where it goes from here. Wonder if another big boom is coming.

Unfortunately, that doesn't surprise me. Just search "soccer riot" on YouTube. Some (or most) people take games way too seriously. On a related note, I'll never understand how anyone can actually watch SportsCenter. I just imagine a bunch of grown men sitting on the edge of a football field...

That would be an enormous waste, and at this point, you'd be more likely to net a loss. The idea is to "buy low, sell high", not buy it when it's over-priced and over-hyped, then sell for a loss This is always a good read: The Intelligent Investor

I'd be investing about a third of it in an index fund, about 1/4 in a mutual fund specializing in bonds, maybe another 1/4 in individual securities, and using the rest to buy a large farm, build a nice house and HUGE garage, and live on a small fraction of my securities yield. I'd also be buying...
