I gotcha covered Terry, lol

Ray

Now THAT'S funny! lol.

I doubt the blowout tho, maintenance on those vehicles is pretty good I would imagine, but could be. Still why over a buck on a surface road?

Ray

I'm tempted! Stop me, lol

We had a somewhat similar incident a few years ago in South Phx where a cop was "responding to a call" along a then pretty much deserted stretch of Baseline road. Lost control on a flat, straight stretch of road, (the whole damn road is a straight as an arrow, and flat) skidded to the left for some reason, hit the embankment on the right side, then flipped the cruiser a couple times and died (Was only a 2 or 3 yeard cop too)at about 3 AM. They made such a stink about it at the time.

No other cars around, thank gawd it was really late, car ended up behind a newly built bus stop, but happened right in front of a new development that was going in. I happened across it going to work when I installed doors and trim in new homes and had to turn around and take the I 10 to 51st to get around it, they closed the road.

Saw the skid marks for weeks as I was working on a development about 10 miles from the spot. Fugger HAD to be screaming when all this happened. The skid and slide marks before the curb were AT LEAST 150 yards long. And the spot where the car ended up was a good 100 yards from where the skid marks ended at the curb.

Look at the tax money, public donations to the family, all the hype because the fugger was apparently an idiot. 5 full lanes and you lose control with NOONE else around, and why such a high rate of speed anyway. I can see fast, but we're talking prolly similar triple digit speeds.

I agree with whomever posted, "you can't fix stupid".

Ray

DAmn that thing looks wild! Between you and Terry, you guys are gonna force me to do something stupid with a huffer on something, lol

Looking sweet though Tom! VERY sweet!

Also sounds like maybe an expansion to a JBP East here in PHX? that would be convenient, lol

Ray

Hate is such a strong word, lol. How about "Failure to Appreciate?".

Impressive Brad. Hope I can get the Biesemeyer to toss that kinda roost!. (Need more power though).

Ray

WoW! That looks kinda close to similar to another boat, or three, on here!


Any guesses whose?

Ray

Looks like some scoring on it to me. Try cleaning it off with thinner or something. might clean up with some emery and some string. I dunno.

Ray

I have had my boat for a couple years. bbc panther logs. put a new carter comp. carb and hei on it. took it out sunday andwhen you get it off idle there is white smoke everywhere at idle is fine. both sides of exhaust. Oil isnt over filled, oil is clean. I fired it up dry really quick and no smoke. Only when water is ran through it. Maybe to much water running through? Any ideas would be great. Or opinion.

Is this the first time you've run it this year? If so, could be as simple as rotten valve stem seals or valve cover gaskets or exhaust manifold gaskets, or a combination of all three. Might have nothing to do with the upgrades.

Ray

.......I wonder if I could qualify for fleet insurance?............... Then you guys could fall under that umbrella, lol

Ray

OH MY GOD! That is FUNNY!

Bad thing is, I picture my kids saying just THAT!

Ray

You gonna have your boat back together by then Keith? (BTW, got your intake out, loader and all, now to box it and ship it, or maybe we'll hook up?)
