Re: Four Legged Project

I can appreciate all the sentiments about our pet dogs because Randi and I had a once-in-a-lifetime dog, too. He died after fifteen great years with us. I always thought I'd like to get another dog after we retired. Well, we are retired and busy and travel quite a bit, so cats seem to fit our curren...

Thompson Oct 8th, 2011

While the Mostmint Racing Team was turning laps at Nelson Ledges ChumpCar race, 32V, BP, WXO and Randi took a ride to TRP to get some time slips. WXO and Smoke managed only one time-slip due to heavy turnout on a beautiful mid-70's day in Northern Ohio. Hot off the street Smoke turned a 14:32 at 97 ...

Re: '06 Trailblazer LS

It doesn't quite work that way. The proceeds from Ruby pay back the house for the loan to buy the SS.

Ruby's gone! Sold it to a 22-year-old single mom. Now we are down to two vehicles.

Re: 1972 Maverick Sprint - Phase 2

What Maverick left unsaid was that he pulled the engine, worked on the headers and put it back by himself and a bit of ingenuity. Nice work, Jim! :D

Re: 2008 Trailblazer SS

Last Thursday I took Smoke to RPM for a dyno tune. Here is the graph of the final run. http://s3.postimage.org/28h0hs9xg/TBSS_dyno_8_4_2011.jpg Ryan was able to coax 10 extra HP out her to get to 323. Not a spectacular jump, but considering that she's all stock except for the K&N air filter... T...

Re: 2008 Trailblazer SS

I decided to mount the cooler in the center of the radiator to allow as much air as possible to pass unhindered through the A/C condenser and radiator on each side of the cooler. Th...

Re: '06 Trailblazer LS

Not much activity. One low-ball and one no-show. I've reduced the price below the others that are comparable on Craigslist and put ads in two Trailblazer forums. Just sitting waiting for the offers to come in now. :)
