Intrepidation

Well they're shown here:

My thoughts exactly. Is that just for Allures or do LaCrosses suffer from that too?

I'm happy with my bank.

I loved central air. In KS even the cheap apartments had it. Up here you don't get that unless apartments are running 2k+. I have no problem calling the cops when the people a few houses down are blasting music at 4am. The old neighbors used to do this. I would call frequently. The cops sometimes came but not usually. Once when I had to get up early and the guy was blasting music in his Tacoma about 10 feet from my window I had enough and shined my spot light on him...that did the trick. At least those people are gone.

Hey look at me, I can also make judgments on materials without actually sitting inside.

Well that doesn't have fail painted all over it at all.

Down the road it'll get Special suspension parts, and upgraded brakes. :wink:

I believe it's 9.9:1 (so almost) and yeah they made 250 horsepower and 250 ft.-lb. of torque. Which is a nice upgrade from 200 horsepower and 188 ft.-lb. of torque the 2.7 had. The Special might have different gearing, but otherwise the 2.7's gearing is 3.89 VS all other 3.2/3.5 gearing of 3.66. So I get a gear ratio advantage.

Hmm well I have a story/mini rant to share along these lines. For as long as I can remember it's been legal to buy and set off fireworks in NH but illegal in MA. I got to set off fireworks in KS a couple years ago at my gf's uncle's house and it was a blast...so I wanted to do it this year. Friend of mine had gone to Hampton Beach for several years because not only could he shoot them off but they had their own display. We bought $52 each worth of fireworks last week from Londonderry, and yesterday headed to Hampton. Traffic around the beach was terrible, as expected, so we parked in a public parking stop across the street from another fireworks shop and about a mile from the beach. We brought a picnic basket which ad some snacks and drinks and the loose fireworks inside, the box of assorted fireworks, a few of the launcher tubes. We found a stop near near where the actual display would be. While we waited we set off a bunch of sparklers near where we sat, then went to the waterfront to launch some of the bigger ones away from people. It was great fin. Other people were doing it as well, and the crowd loved it...especially the big one we fired off. We decided to save the rest for after the show when more people had cleared out, and plus it would give us something to do as opposed to sitting in traffic. We watched the professional display which was nice, although the finale was kinda lame. We also saw other places putting on shows along the coast. After the show, we started walking back to the car a mile away. We were going to launch them at the small beach near the car, but decided since Hampton's beach had cleared out pretty well, we might as well do it here and have less to carry back. We fire off some of them in a wide open area clear of people. I would say we got about 5 set before a couple of beach patrol cops showed up in a gloried golf kart. They asked to see some ID. I figured they just wanted to make sure we were over 18...no biggie. Instead, they tell us that it's illegal to set off and even posses fireworks besides sparklers in Hampton, and that there's a $300 fine. We were like WTF? So we ask them why on earth are there fireworks shops down the street if you can't posses or set them off? He said "Oh well that's Seabrook, but you can't in Hampton. Yet there are no signs anywhere that says no fireworks, and earlier when we were near the beach we walked past 3 cops and they said nothing. So we were like ok...sorry we didn't know, can we just go to our car in Seabrook and fire them there? The he said we can't even posses them here, so, and because we do posses them its either let them confiscate everything but the sparklers, or get a $300 fine. Naturally I stayed polite but at that point I wanted to light one off n his face. So by the end of the night, $52 and my respect for the "Live free or die" state went down the drain. It still angers me. The only consolation besides the sparklers is that we lit some off earlier...which no one had a problem with, and they forgot to confiscate the roman candles, so we fired them off in Seabrook before joining the long line of traffic.

GMAC Bank Changes Name to Ally Bank In an effort to help improve its image, GMAC Bank, owned by GMAC LLC, is switching its name to Ally Bank Full Story

Have a good ones guys! Got any plans? Taking the gf and my best friend up to Hampton to launch of fireworks and then watch the beach's own show. Should be a blast!

That it, you're banned. It can keep them. Thanks anyway

I'm sorry.

Also we have a dedicated section for such discussions now.

NO!

Kinda looks like an RWD setup huh? At least in therms of the engine/transmission/exhaust going the "right" way. I've never seen on without an engine that wasn't mangled. Got the proper motor mounts, a/c idler pulley, dipstick/tube and power steering reservoir and mounting bracket. Couldn't find any lines that weren't cut in the yard so they'll have to be new ones. He said it's enough to get working and the motor should be in by the end of the night. Then it's just a matter of waiting for the Mopar parts (so Monday) to (hopefully) finish it up.

A few quick pics: Current Status: Timing belt/tensioner/waterpump are in! Have to got o the junkard because as it turns out, the retards gave me motor mounts for a 2.7 and not a 3.5, as well as the wrong dipstick. I'm also gonna try and get the oil and trans cooler lines. If I can get that stuff today the 3.5 should be in it's new home tonight! Which means it may even be done by tomorrow...

None yet, I'll try to get some.

Shouldn't have to worry about hoses since, all of them will be new. Picked up the stuff I needed from NAPA this morning (filters and heater hose) and the rest is on order from the dealer. The engine bay will be cleaned since it's easy to get at, and maybe...just maybe next week it'll be done.

Happy Birthday one and all!

Has the given you a number yet?

Yep, just keep an eye on the fluid.

Well if it makes you feel better, the Shadow has leaked trans fluid as long as I can remember.
