A wedding is an official ceremony where a woman transfers the custody of her sons balls to her daughter in law.Thats all.

That is entirely dependent upon the negotiation between the interested parties , a safe bet is it will the most expensive and difficult method. HOWEVER, if the cheaper method exacts greater humiliation and provides more photo opportunities then that will of course place greater strain on the "negotiation" between the interested parties as to which method is finally used, this is under no circumstances to be misinterpreted as a signal that other parties should enter the discussion.

what?

Yeah OK I have to work today, New Years eve....and it's a little quiet.

BTW. What is a "Bucks Night"?....well that when a man calls up some drinking partners to help him celebrate the upcoming significant moment when he'll catch a fleeting glimpse of his balls. Significant for a number of reasons it marks the overlap of several eras, and the beginning of others .More next semester.

Summer Reading: "No matter who's got them, they're breaking them": A study of mens balls and why it makes no difference as to whether your wife and mother in law are friends or at war.

Anyway, back to the Buick. :wink:

Your explanation opened too many old wounds.

Anyway, back to the Buick.

Is the Buick a STROKER? Does it have a Long Crank?

Does it require a special lubricant to keep it from sticking or ceasing?

Gary,

Did you sell it as a roller or complete?

Thanks,

Tom, it went as a complete car with one bad turbo on it. I had a lot of fun with it and met a lot of great people, glad I got to do it. There is a lot of people around who has never drove a car 200 MPH let alone 248 MPH.

Gary,

I was still giving some thought to your car, versus starting from scratch.  But seeing as my situation still has not changed (I still have only a one car garage), I want to thank you for removing temptation from from the thought process, by find a new home for your car.  I still want to try LSR, but my plans are on hold for a little while.

We're not getting any younger. If there is some way you can get a project going go for it. They always take time to build, modify and all the stuff we all do. The rewards are beyond words, the friends you make out on the salt or at the lakes are the very best and there is nothing on this planet quite like Freddie Danzenfelzer and the other heavy hitters going by at 350 plus shaking the ground as they truck on down the course. It's even better when your behind the wheel.
Good luck and hope you get started soon. 8-)

My first trip to the salt was in 1997, we were on the starting line and Al Teague whacked the throttle on the #76 and it echoed off the mountains, boy, that still gives me goose bumps just thinking about it.
