Is this a good deal on these rims? They don't look too bad. http://syracuse.craigslist.org/pts/4810106502.html

Just enough power to break everything behind the crankshaft.

I think so. I gave $500 for 2 aggressive 285s that were brand new.

If you just want the rims, knock him down a bit. I gave $150 for 4 Ford Alcoas.

Fuelled up for the first time in Canada in quite a few years where it was than $1/litre ($3.78/gallon). Averaged 15.24mpg with the first 1/4 hot rodding around the city. This tank so far looks like high 16's low 17's. I Might fuel up tonight so I know just what I got

That's sweet man. I Kept saying your van was the most interesting part about my trip.

On another note I decided to fuel up, and the result was a little surprising. I Ended up with 18.5mpg. Not bad considering my cruise was set at 120, and I climbed nearly 2000 feet of elevation

That chits for the birds. I'm buying it at $2.44/gal.

I went and saw that American Sniper movie. Excellently made film and definitely powerful.

Why is it that most of the 1st gen.org guys are no longer on the quest for power?

I still am. Just need to get The Roo Hunter going again.

Fuel prices have been absolutely retarded up here. For the amount we get out of the ground what we're paying for it compared to what you're paying for it is stupid. I Think our stuff is supposed to be higher cetane, and whatnot, but still

Higher cetane would explain how Canada people always seem to get like 900% better fuel economy.

Well this weekend was the Midwest winter national tractor pull in gordyville Il. They had a raffle so I bought tickets. Came home with an air ride front suspension for the tractor valued at $6500. It's the same one I won last year! So that baby will go to a new owner soon and mo POWA for the tractor is in order. Not sure where though. Maybe a new charger. Maybe some other kind of go fast Goodie.

I'm still going for power! I just don't talk about it much on here because no one else does.
