    Ok I was just doing a good deed as an angel son helping my mom haul some bags of pine bark from Wal Mart to the house. Everything was goin along good until she says......since you helped me I will go back and get you some gas if you put the bark in the back yard. Can't turn that down at gas's current prices. Well of course she has heard the gripe session about going to WalMart for gas before because they only sell 91 octane.

    Of course she goes to Wal Mart anyways, not understanding the meaning behind Octane numbers. At least she understood the word "Premium" so at least I got 10 bucks worth of 91, but still! I want the best in my baby! 93 only, as commanded by General Nelson! I'll be alright till Monday wont I?

    Moral of the story, dont let a performance illiterate mom fill up your gas tank, just politely ask for the funds and go do it yourself!

    Shoot I thought across the parking lot wasnt gonna be too much....i learned from that one. She got her one drive in the truck from all the times I got to drive the Escalade. That thing sees more airtime than Delta when I drive it!

    And youd think after I let her drive it and she compliments on how it feels stronger than the Escalade that she would believe me when I tell her she needs a Nelson tune! Women will never learn!

    Most women just dont get it, when I was doing the swap on my truck one of my chick friends asked me what I was doing to the truck. So I told her I was putting an engine out of a Trans Am in it with a manual transmission, she looked puzzled. So I said well is the same as a Corvette engine and she said "Oh" and still had that puzzled look and walked away, then she turned around and said "wait isnt the corvette like a really fast car?"
    Had a 91 SB, Open diff, 3.08 gears, stock LS1/T56. 14.8@95.9...sold.
    Now, 90 C1500 350tbi/NV3500....just bought a 5.3...need T56, Swap parts.....

    Yeah, when I put my LT1 engine in, my g'friend at the time would sneak out in it and then come back and tell me how fast it was. I knew it was fast. I had to start hiding the keys because all my friends wanted to drive it with the LT1.

    Haha, I had a gf one time that drove my truck to the parts store to get me something while I was working on her Cavalier, when she got back she said....All these people were staring at me, is it because I have exhaust?"......I just smiled and told her yes!
