Banning and ignore?

[FJDave]

I'd rather push a GM than drive a Ford

Well, mostly GMs are towed, but I guess you could push them :D

[ChevySSP]

Better than being Found On Roads Dead

But I'll give it to Ford. They usually let you look under the hood before work cause you need to Fix Or Repair Daily

Does calling an Idiot on this forum an Idiot justify banninng? Oh, and if I have myself on ignore can I still be banned for calling an Idiot and Idiot? :confused:

See if I'm on ignore then I won't be able to read the foul things I've said and therefore shouldn't be held accountable

And my friends brother's uncles son in law wants to know if it is acceptable to hit on the ladies here:eek:

Regards,

RKT

Ahhhh,he is on a roll already.:D

Honestly, I love cars. I don't care what they are. Hell, I bought a Toyota FJ Cruiser, and I LOVE that truck! But I am one of those people who have never had a Ford go belly-up on me, ever. Every GM I've owned has been crap. Complete poo. BUT, that will NOT keep me from getting my next car, the 2010 Camaro SS2. My GAWD what a car!

Did you see the pic of my Mustang in the member pics thread?

Now you get Government workers to push them GMs for ya. Got to have something for the ever-growing Federal workforce to do. They oughtta stay pretty busy now. :D

057. Tach Needle Sticking
058. Wiper motor wiring comes through bottom of the cowling-well in front of the driver. (The fix (decided upon between the dealer and myself) was to re-insulate the wires, cover the harness with a hard, slick plastic covering, drill a small hole in the bottom of the cowling-well (fill the hole with silicone) and use a cable tie down like the rest of the wiper harness uses to secure the harness to the floor of the cowling (the grommet will collapse downward with little force), far away from harm from the wiper arms.)

061. Trunk gasket at bottom of rear window coming off

065. Faulty Tail lights.
066. Weather stripping at back of rear windows loose (I can literally grab and peel it back).
067. Missing or peeling paint between trunk lid and spoiler (right rear section)—could possibly spread over time down the trunk lid.
068. Driver's seat makes clicking noises when set all the way back.

And the list is growing. All first year cars have issues, but for having been in development for more than 3 years, this list is ridiculous.

3 words....Federally Backed Warranty :D I don't care what problems it has. By the time I am ready to buy it (in 6-8 months from now, when the rebates kick in) the issue list should shrink exponentially. If not, I gotta dust off my tools :D

[ChevySSP]

Yeah I saw your Mustang FJ and I gotta tell you its one of the cleanest I've seen :cool:

Tbh that 70s in my pic has been redone. Funny story behind it actually.

That car belonged to my Step Dad when he was my age. When he joined the Air Force it was stolen from his parents house, and he didn't see it for many years. When he became a Probation Officer a warehouse was seized by a Task Force that had the car in it, stripped.

Well, over the next few years he rebuilt it and repainted it, and now it sits as a monument to superior GM engineering.

I want a Camaro so bad that I'm going to bust a gut, but tbh I want a brand new Lifted Chevrolet 4x4 3500 with a Crew Caba and Duramax/Allison tranny combo

FJ I also think you share my love for cars. I bought a 2001 Nissan Frontier as my first foreign purchase and It has been one hell of a truck. I've owned several vehicles and have done a lot of mechanic work, up to including a timing belt change on a 95 Nissan Pathfinder 4wd :D

My tools are rusting. :D

[ChevySSP]

My tools are rusting. :D

Then you need to find stuff to use them on :cool:

[FJDave]

ChevySSP, I think you and I will get along JUST fine!! :D :D

My tools are not really rusting. I change my own oil, install my own modifications, and work on the 65 Mustang. The Mustang, being a 1965, still needs periodic valve adjustments, tweaking here and there, etc. Plus, working on cars, driving them, off-roading, etc, are all a big stress reliever for me. When I had my 2003 Mustang Mach 1, I used to show it and race it (at Irwindale Raceway and California Speedway...legally only), and it was my daily driver. I envision the same with the Camaro when I get it....of course after installing a CAI, better mufflers (Magna Pack), and a nice set of gears in the rear...maybe 3.90:1 or 4.10:1. The current gears are a bit too "freeway flyer" for a car like the Camaro!

[acreature]

When I had my 2003 Mustang Mach 1

I still have mine ;)

Only a KR will rid me of my Mach

[FJDave]

I really miss my Mach. What an AWESOME car! It was a car before it's time. All the current muscle cars have the same numbers as the Mach (or really close), and are 100 HP more than the Mach. I have high hopes for the Catfish!

[ChevySSP]

ChevySSP, I think you and I will get along JUST fine!! :D :D

Yes FJDave, I think we will indeed get along JUST fine!

I had the opportunity to look at a ZR-1 Corvette and when I get a Camaro I want to get the SS and supercharge that bad boy :cool:

You should have seen my 87 IROC....thats the car in my avatar pic

Amen those are just plain sexy.
