Stupid Hippy :pow:
Yeah, a version of that has been around for months.
Sucks to drive a big 'ol V8 truck...wait, that is me!
why doesnt al gore or whoever start cracking down on the huge-ass factories that are puffing tons of smoke into the skies 24-7. i highly doubt that auto emmisions are the #1 cause of global warming and ****. im scared of the future for my kids.
Aircraft are huge polluters and they are in the air.Dont forget about all the nuclear testing the US has done over the years...
on a serious note, i think with out cars or trucks i wouldn't really want to live.
i don't have another hobby that i stick with. i played baseball for half of my life. then moved to basketball and fishing. if they take away trucks i cant go off road or go on trails, even race. so i hope i don't see the day were i cant have fun with my truck or car.. if they do that to me i will probably make a nice mess for them to clean up :lol:
Ricky...we could be like the chinese and ride bikes everywhere...or scooters
a 1.3 hp scooter, it would take me a month to get up to dallas to hang out with you :lol:Quote:

If they take away our need for speed. I might just get addicted to heroin as another hobby
Ummmmmm I......well.......:ugh2:I guess thats better than driving a ricer.Quote:

I was joking too....I get depressed when i cant drive my truck.I have a C5 I can drive anytime...but why,too low to the ground for me and its made out of plastic
I am planning on keeping my truck until it falls into little bitty parts or I die.Maybe I should buy an extra 5.3 to put up for later
Dale, did you get a red truck b/c of the movie Christine? haha
i want to keep my truck for ever too. i also wanna buy another truck to mess around with one that i don't care for to much like i do mine. i baby it a lot. waxing and washing and petting and licking.. jk lol
i bet it wouldn't be that hard to build a 200+ hp scooter. that would be pretty sweet actually, as long as it never rained...
Funny you should mention that movie....itsmy favorite movie of all time! $HITTER!Quote:

Its not like he ran them over or anything. they looked perfectly fine. no tire marks, blood or broken bones. haha and when someone tried to help my dad fix his a/c the compressor bolt just randomly broke an smashed the guys hand. :LOL: that truck is great.Quote:

Ethanol 10% is AFR 14.13 , wonder what Hydrogen is ?
The future boys and girls :Pratt & Miller Engineering & Fabrication
Jay Leno's Garage
E85 Corvette , 9.765 AFR
i would think 20 to 40 range.IDK...is stoich 14.68....even @ 10 percent ethanol or is that what 14.13 is.I saw some of your post on EFIlive...pretty interseting stuff.As usaul your learning of the stuff far exceeded what i could ever comprehend.LOL thats why i ride the short bus with a helmut of course.
A lot of people (Custom Engine Builders) rave about E85 , get the Corn Mesh Ready , I wonder if you can drink pure Ethanol ? Talk about a tail gate party , just siphon some from the old tank ?
They put an additive in the ethanol to keep you from drinking it, makes you sick as a dog. E85 has 15% gasoline in it so don't even think about drink that!
If your buying the stuff you should be able to drink it,burn it or flush the crap down the toilet.Greg makes some damn good home made brew...to good to burn...lol
Hydrogen 0.0294. stoichiometric fuel-air ratio .
Ah man , make you sick , bummer !
Not going to say to much , but have been playing with E-10 and AFR and got some good results .
OL cares but not CL .
This one you can drink the fuel , well after skimming off the oil :Jay Leno's Garage
1000 Foot Pounds of Torque .
Linky no worky...Ill check in the morning my Nyquil is taking over
Dale, you did the free mod of the cardboard TB spacer too???
Oh yeah! :lol:
Me fixie , to many http's .
Can tune a fish , but not a piano .
Does ethanol run any less horse power or does it run the same. Also can you get the same mpg with it?
Very freakin cool!I saw one of his steam cars on My classis car and it was amazing how good it ran.Quite and clean
I saw that too, Jay Leno has one. he has a big chin tooQuote:
