Subject: Re: Thursday Chat 07.21.11 by Ultraman on 2011/7/21 13:55:50 Up late today I think I am still recovering from the baseball tourney. Took the C5 out last night late for a nice drive in the warm air. I ran slow with the windows down. Very nice and relaxing. Having trouble figuring how to get my Corsas shipped. The guy selling says now he needs more money because he did not anticipate FedX was going to cost 120 bucks. So we are checking out other options. Bus and postal being a couple of them. Any ideas? It is raining here and much cooler. I don't know how much we have got yet but if it is an inch or more it will qualify as a million dollar rain because of what it will do for the dryland crops and also the farmers will get to turn off the irrigation machines..... Holy cow Matt.....that gave me a flashback to my oldest daughter taking a trip down the stairs to the basement in one of those walker things that the kids scoot around the house in. Scared me to death but she was yelling and crying so hard that I figured she couldn't be to hurt that bad and she was just mostly scared. It was on my watch and the guilt was bad. The thing stayed upright all the way and did a flip right at the bottom......I know because I was about 1 second behind the whole wreck.....If it would have had a rollbar it would have not been a big deal..  ......the gate went up that day.Cool article from C and D on MSN this morning on the Newell Motor coaches. 1.6 million for a new bus. 650 hp Cummins with a 6 sp Allison. Takes 44 qts of synthetic oil. I couldn't afford the oil change. All the racers have them and some more then one. Interesting fact that Larry Shinoda did the design work on Penskes coaches. I met Larry once up at the Corvette ralley in Spearfish. Got his autograph somewhere in my stuff. Nice guy who was in on a lot of classic designs for both Chevy and Ford and more. Yikes I gotta go......have a great day today Guru's! |
