Yep. And that is the reason I will not buy a muscle car of any type. ;-) Funny that you say that. The true "muscle car" era was very short-lived. It's origins was in the early 60's with limited availability to the consumer - manufacturers had to build a minimum number of car models and engines (427 Ford, 426 hemi Chrysler) engines a year to qualify as "stock" for NASCAR racing purposes. The 1964 Pontiac Tempest GTO is considered by many to be the first mass produced "muscle car". (It's an interesting story how how John DeLoreon managed sneak that one by the Board of Directors at Pontiac). But, by the end of the 60's the fed had started imposing emission requirements that lowered compression ratios and horsepower. By 1972 there was no longer a true stock "muscle car". Now, within the past 5 years or so and due to advancements in engineering and engine design, there are some current model cars that can outperform their 1960 something counterparts. For example, the new Dodge Charger R/T with the mini-hemi is faster than a '69 Charger R/T with the high output 440. Not by much ... but it's faster and handles much better. Same is true of the limited production version of the new GTO. So .... you may be driving a muscle car and not even realize it. Eisboch I can burn rubber with my 6 cylinder 2005 Mercury Sable. ;-) Grow up and act like a man. Kevin, you and Don are quickly becoming the primary idiots of the newsgroup. Neither of you knows when to shut up and let things just do by. This is classic!! How funny. Let's see, we've got Bert, who blindly and ignorantly calls me Kevin every post, saying that *I* don't know when to let things go!!! How stupid can it get, folks? Kevin, you keep responding to posts that according to you don't apply to you. How much more fun can this be? Are you really so stupid that you can't figure that out? YOU, being dumb as a post, respond to ME, to my posts, and ignorantly call me Kevin. Grow up. Kevin, you need to go out and get a cup of coffee and wake up I believe you are still asleep or still in a stupor *from you drinking* and smoking activities on your drive to work. D'oh! I try to compliment you and you prove me wrong already. eg "*from you drinking*" Some months ago, Bert posted that he quit high school to join the marines. More recently, Bert posted that he was graduated from high school. I believe the former, not the latter. He may have completed some kind of equavilant program while in the reserve. What else did he have to occupy his time while hiding out stateside. But Don, Bert says he is far more successful than everyone else. He does brag about his income any chance he gets. Maybe his father-in-law gave him a job... or a company to mis-manage. or... he could just be full of sh*t and bluffing us. Who knows...who cares! |

I really get tired of hearing the "Got your ears on" hails along with the "negative contact, channel clear" waste of bandwidth. Hope you are correct that boater education will improve that for the willing to learn. Regards, Dan Haven't seen Chuck around lately. Is he on a trip or did he finally just get sick of all the politics and name-calling? He bailed out the day before you got back. Said something about being sick of all the sheriffing in here. An actual adult would be ashamed, Don.........of such a total fabrication as well as his or her conduct in subsequent posts in the thread. If you want to act out in the NG there's nobody to stop you. None of the boaters mind, I'm sure, when you guys with personal axes to grind and nothing on-topic to contribute turn this forum into a playpen for adolescent mud wrestlers. However, if you feel some compulsion to send a public nastygram to John H please do so without claiming that I "bailed out" of the group or claiming that I made a statement that I never made. If you need to make up tales to accentuate your future snide remarks, please leave me out of them. Thanks. (insert he "What about everybody else?".......) "Everybody else" didn't misrepresent something I said or did as a means to slam another poster. Relax Chuck.. Everyone else knew what was going on...JohnH was the only one led on as he was away when you announced your departure. |

Nope, Bert's pointed out here that he has to be at work at certain times, etc. Meaning he's got a nine to five type job. Those who are actually successful in life often work more than that, but also don't need to be told when to show up, etc. |

Jim, what happened to you calling him all kinds of childish names and petty insults because he has things you don't? Why don't you just shut up? No. Jim deserves to get everything he gets. And it will continue until HE stops. This is getting old and I, for one, am getting tired of it. Oh, well. Eisboch (getting very tempted to use the killfile for the first time, ever) See above. Glad you made it to work on Monday morning to spend the day stealing from your employer again. You sure are obsessed with worry about someone stealing from their employer! Is that what you do? I've told you over and over that I'm self employed, but I'm not sure you're bright enough to read, let alone figure out how someone can actually make their own decisions. |
