Well, she obviously has no respect for my personal feelings...

Just like the rest of you horn-dogs!

New trans is here! :thumbright: GM's packaging sucks! It's just a huge cardboard box with some loose packing in there, looks like the trans was trying to escape the box during transit.

Also has a huge label on there about warranty: "Warranty will only be honored if GM fluid #........ is used."

It's also a blue tag. I've heard others mention green tags and grey tags for the replacements.

I have full coverage... mostly because there are too many uninsured assholes on the roads here in SoCal... and they are just as prone to rear end you and run as to actually fess up.

It ain't worth the angst... I will pay my premiums ($460 every 6 months) and be happy knowing that if someone hits me, I am protected from financial ruin.

I was really happy for her when she was starting to get recognition in Indy car. Then she turned into a sex symbol... Why can't she just be another driver who happens to be a woman, instead of a woman who happens to be a driver? Bah!

She is pretty though, I'll give her that.

Huh? Dissolving and galvanic corrosion are two seperate things. Pure water (agressive water) will absorb more metals, not less. It won't stay pure for long.

Distilled water has to be stored in plastic or glass or tin for that reason.

yes I think he took the "juice" as well as probably who knows how many others.... It is my personal opinion that Congress has a vested interest in this issue because of the ramifications..... Sports as it fits in the "big picture" is a great distraction for people. Get them involved, immersed in sports and people will not focus on how miserable their lives might be, their dead end jobs, the crazy taxes etc...

Now if it were shown that sports is not "pure and pristine" but played by people who are using performance enhancers or worse then people stop looking at sports and start looking at those other things I mentioned....and the government cannot have an unhappy populace....

That's my take on the conspiracy....

Guilty, but could care less. Steroids have been rampant in Baseball since the early 90's. Nobody cared until Bonds came along. And where the hell is he currently?

Trust me, I've looked high and low. BTW, don't confuse it with stated value or actual cash value, they are different.

Your only choices are to be either under insured, or to lie to your insurer about your driving habits.



Question: Why do you think your car is worth more than other similar ones in the autotrader? An insurer doesn't want to cover a $10K car for $15K because it opens them up to fraud. And in all honesty, why should you ever be entitled to more than replacement value?


I have no illusions about the value of my car....lol I know its a 93 with over 216k on the clock, and while it has alot of sentimental value, actual value is probably a lot less.... having said that, in the event of an accident I would probably want to be able to take off the stuff I want (i.e. undamaged wheels, and the engine if its modded) and not see it totaled out with the salvage guy taking the stuff.... cut me a check for 7 or 8k and I probably can find another one to drive till the wheels fall off....

Most of the head gasket problems are at #7 and occurred well before 50,000 miles. Yours may have been repaired at some time. GM's Bulletin tied the problem to misaligned intake gaskets which led to galvanic corrosion, which eventually eroded the head gasket (and plugged up everything else). Their solution was to counterbore the intake mounting holes for gasket retainers and current production, replacement heads, have this feature. Checking #7 is as simple as pulling the plug. Look for rust on the plug threads.


phrases that sound real familiar to this topic.

Yeah, but does it have limitations on how/where/when you can drive it?

Also is it Stated Value or Agreed Value? Does it mention Actual Cash Value anywhere? Read that policy carefully, most/all agents don't know squat about these types of policies and will tell you what you want to hear.

Obviously each state can differ, but the shit hits the fan when you have to deal with the adjuster. Rest assured, these guys will know how the policy works and they aren't going to write you a check for $10K if they don't have to. And by then it's too late.

None of the dozen or so agents I spoke with would allow me to talk to the adjusters or people that make those decisions. They all said that I'd have to wait until there was a claim to do that. Uh, no thanks dude!

Actually, it may be possible to retain most, if not all of the dash functions. Someone will have to go through the wiring diagrams and see what needs to go where and whether voltage values are compatible, to determine what needs to be done. There are some other PCM options available if the LT1 computer doesn't have everything necessary, but I'm sure someone in good standing with the geek squad can figure out how to make everything work.

I was stuck watching the Roger Clemens hearing this morning, but finally left for work.

I have not been following it, and it pains me to see our tax dollars pissed away on something like this, but it's probably the best way to try and sort out the truth when everyone is lying. And the other side of me enjoys watching people living in a fantasy world face the music that they aren't above our system, particularly when it comes to perjury. Because if you can't trust people under oath, the whole justice system fails.

The way I see it:

McNamee has zero credibility based on previous lies.

Clemens has zero credibility because he has everything to lose and will take the Pete Rose / Barry Bonds route.

McNamee has no credibility only because he was defending Clemens and others initially. The fact that he kept everything confidential with each of his 'customers', even with Pettitte and Clemens, gives him some integrity, unlike all the others involved with loose lips. I think his story now and his motives are believable, but not provable. So Clemens will probably get off legally, but be convicted by the media and deservedly so.

It's really a shame, but I guess exposing him is beneficial to the players that stay clean, and a good lesson for up and coming athletes that cheating won't help you.

It surprises me that McNamee is dragging everyone under the bus with him though. If he was already screwed, why didn't he just keep his mouth shut and take his hits and work a deal with these bigtime players to take care of him? Maybe he offered them that and they told him to piss off.

How come Sammy Sosa never got a congressional committee for his corked bat?

Ok so let's try a few easy numbers to see if we have an issue or not.

Suppose we have a gasoline powered car that get 20 MPG. That's very realistic I think. It would produce a gallon of water for every 20 miles traveled. So if one were to scatter the ice crystals from one gallon of gas over a 20 mile track could that cause any safety problems? I don't think so.

I understand that to produce the same power one needs to consume about four times as much hydrogen gas as gasoline liquid by volume.

Let's not use the 4:1 ratio. Let's go to the extreme.

Suppose we have a hydrogen powered car that gets only 1/20th the MPG of the gas car. That would mean putting out a gallon of water every mile. So would it be a hazard if the ice crystals from a gallon of water were uniformly distributed over a 1 mile strip? Again, I don't think so.

This is totally off the cuff so please poke holes in my reasoning.


I'm late to this party, but very interested. As far as your stated theory above, it sounds fine for one car, but if you put thousands of cars on that track, things could get interesting.

OK, so what if every car on the planet emitted only water vapor as a byproduct?
Would we then see a change in the climate of the world? Like lots more rain? Less sunlight? Growth of polar ice caps? Reverse global warming?

Damn, I hate humidity!

Not sure about that. State Farm allowed me to set the replacement price of my car. I named the number, $10k, they agreed. Now if I told them $20k, might have been an issue.

Semantics. Low conductivity = high resistance. They are inverse of each other.



Pure water will dissolve your metals.
Mineral water will cause galvanic corrosion.


You can't win. That's why we add 40% ethylene glycol. It isn't there just for the freeze/boil protection! Personally I think the galvanic corrosion is a bigger issue. The aluminum intake on mine corroded to the iron head and allowed coolant to leak into the engine on my car.

Proper coolant maintenance and driving the car regularly will prevent this from ever happening.

My wife and I had our first kiss up on Mt. Washington, by the incline. I lived in New Eagle, commuted an hour every day to the Ross Park Mall, where I was the manager of a Kay Bee Toy & Hobby.

She lived in Munhall, practically across the street from the old steel mills. I hear there has been a lot of development where the mills used to be. I haven't been back to PA since about '99.

Oh, crap... Nevermind. So much talk about PA, I was thinking you were from there. Seems like several members here are. Dang, that is quite a drive!

I think what you have to do, if you carry full coverage on your Vette is to insure it on an agreed value. Most companies will allow this for an older car. Your rates will reflect this agreed value, and they won't go for crazy valuations like $1,000,000.

You are correct in assuming that at some point, the cost of full coverage will outweigh the benefits you might receive in case of total loss.

Only you can determine what that point is though. If your car is paid for and you would not have a problem in replacing it, if it was a total loss then I would say full coverage is not cost effective.

Having a full coverage insurance policy is just protection for stuff you can't afford to replace on your own. But at some point, you will have paid out more in premiums than the car is worth.

The above only applies to comp and collision, as I am assuming you must carry liability insurance at all times.

CSS, The guard/reserves also account for a large portion of the total forces in the aor. At one point they consituted half the force in theater. It only makes sense that half your force accounts for half your suicides.
Guard and reserve troops for the first 2 or 3 years of this war were also treated like crap in the aor by the active components and recieved less training and inferior equipment. Heck, the DOD just recently awarded 4 star level to the director of the national guard. Even at the highest levels we were getting shat on. Most of that was because we hadnt made the difficult transition from a cold war strategic reserve force to an active participant force as now. In many ways its tougher to be guard/reserve than active. We get less benefits/trainging and spend less time on active duty but still get deployed and are expected to keep up with active components. We also have to try and maintain our home life and proffesional civillian careers. Theres alot of factors that play into it.

I thought liquid glass sucked. It was way too abrasive and left scuff marks in the paint that I had to polish out later with something finer. I wouldn't recommend it on black paint.

Well I carry full coverage on all my cars including 2 million in liability.

AS far as the collision helping you.....If I understand your question, If your car is written off by the insurance company after an accident at the very least you will get a check of some value.

No coverage = no check. Just the wrecked Vette to sit in your driveway. So yeah I would say it's worth it. JMO

I think the property tax increases are restricted in CA. I know Hawaii had problems with that where people literally owned their homes but were forced to reverse mortgage or sell to afford the ridiculously high property tax increases. How stupid are we to let the govt' tax us on something we own?

I think it's complete bullshit that it's based on property value too. Why should the guy next door on the same street, same lot, with a nicer house be paying more than his neighbor?

EXACTLY. When I took it apart I made a note to where the distributor rotor was pointing and where the #1 terminal was in accordance with the #7 rocker arms, when the engine was at #1 TDC. [/quote]

What did he say??

The goal here is, when they need to tow a car off track (whether its stuck or just broken), to not spend 30 minutes dicking around with the driver that's more concerned about his paint getting scratched by the tow strap than about the track time he's taking away from the other drivers.
