Just like the chip question...my favorite for 20 years is, "Got a cam in it?"

My reply, "yep"...Like it didn't have one in it before.

And the next thing they want to know it the lift because back in the 70's when they only made 5 aftermarket cams per engine family they all judged them by the lift. Now engines have as much lift stock as hot street cams did then and if you tell them .600 lift they think you have a race gas drag motor in a truck when you actually only have 226 deg duration.

UBLUZIN03, I never heard a front axle in a truck called the front 'rear'.

2005 Silverado, listen bro, the word nos, while in your words, refers to a co. that sells nitrous parts, ITS NOT WHAT YOU SPRAY"...was popularized thanks to Fast & Furious. It's just like Xerox, or Kleenex, they are just common names due to their dominance or first in their segment, home boy.

And some tards that never proofread their ****!!!

I need an interpreter for some of the stuff on here. Sometimes I have to figure out what word is really being said.
Even tho I don't use spellcheck, my writing is pretty sound. I'm certainly guilty of u, prolly, & all my other shorthand to minimize typing (or my lack of never having had a typing class).
If someone wants to be my typist, cmon up. The job doesn't pay ****, don't ask me to repeat, & spell it all correct everytime just like everyone on here does!!!

If we all know what is being said, does it matter? Cody is right, too many **** retentive people.

You beat me to it. Another thing that pisses me off. "i" as in i went to the store, not I went to the store.

I'll keep an eye out for it. If I do that, how will I find it?

Since this has turn into a border line rant thread I'll throw in my two cents.


I really can't stand when someone starts a for-sale thread or even a thread about a track video or something, then links you to another forum that links you even further till you finally get to see what it's all about. Just because there too lazy to type something twice. I have gotten to where I open one up and read "here's the link to my for-sale thread yada yada" I just close it back and move on to the next one.
