Precious stuff...frame it. I've got one of those framed in my office that our youngest (now 24) drew when he was in kindergarten...great conversation starter.

"Them boys from Oklahoma roll their joints all wrong" - Cross Canadian Ragweed "So I gathered up all of my guns, and a pipe bomb just for fun" - Reckless Kelly "Well we're big rock singers, we got golden fingers, and we're loved everywhere we go" - Dr Hook (Shel Silverstein) "Go to hell, you...

Must be that woman he had wrapped 'round his finger came unwound. George Strait = Frank Sinatra in a cowboy hat

+1 I'm a lot better at drinking beer and pointing than I am actually turning wrenches.

Lots of W. Mi. Offshore crowd in the Muskegon/GR.Haven/Holland area. We generally boat out of Grand Haven. The Hardy Pardy / Hot Boat Weekend is big fun. Hopefully they've got the dam squared away and the water back up by then. The Dam had an issue with one of the spillways and they've got...

There are a lot of really cool things about our state, but the weather isn't always one of them. This storm has the potential to be as bad as forecast; rain today turning to ice "up to an inch in some areas" turning to heavy snow all accompanied by 30-40 mph winds. Heavy Snow on top of ice...

Cool Pics New Glarus is from Wisconsin & their Spotted Cow is one of my favorites. Founders is a local MI beer. You guys out west get the weather but MI has great water (except for Flint) meaning we have great hops and great beer. It seems like every little town has it's own brewery. I...

Like all the previous posters I have nothing but good things to say about Alexi. Straightforward, no BS, and courteous to a fault. I have one of his compound blower motors in a 24; the motor makes a ton of power with absolutely no drama. Last September I smoked my starboard side Ilmor &...

Not 3 Amigos, The Princess Bride Sorry for the useless knowledge, but there was too much boat content

1 - File the complaint in person and ask to have that officer present when you do. I don't understand why you refused a breathalyzer if you weren't drinking, but for the officer to believe that you were under the influence and let you go because he didn't have it with him is completely...

Cool. Congrats on the new ride.

We were with Ford for a long time & their system is - at least to me - much less confusing than GM's number system. I'll try and find my cheat sheet on what each status number is supposed to correspond to. I don't think there is a "going to be built now" event code. It's not as bad as the...

yup

Ha! I guess that depends on who you ask around the store. I'm a Chevy dealer in MI. Congrats on the purchase.

An order number is generated immediately by GM when a dealer submits the order and the order is accepted by the system IE status 1100 If the salesperson can't give you the order number it's because your order either wasn't submitted and accepted or he doesn't want you to have it because any...

I have Lee's old white/orange/blue 24 boat; no pad, Merc XR drive, Boostpower motor detuned by Alexi to 900hp. I have no handling issues whatsoever; no chine walk, no hop, the boat does nothing wrong. It's perfect. I tend to shy away from the "how fast?" conversations because it seems like...

+1 We have a Malibu VLX and love it. We ended up with the 'Bu because we could get snap out carpet and we liked the tower MUCH better than the other brands. I've ridden in MC's and thought the towers were going to shake off the boat and had to keep restrapping the boards in the racks. I think...

I'm putting big HP through an XR & have wondered the same thing. However, I'll bet that question is a little like asking "what happens when your engine blows?" I think it really depends on what goes away. I've had motors sorta whimper and shut off, and I've got an oil pan in my pole barn...

"Carfax is a marginally valuable tool and only for things like title checks." That's a really great way to put it, only substitute "VIN History Report" for CarFax. They're a good starting point, and MAY tell you if you've got a bad vehicle, but certainly can't guarantee you've got a good one...

No. I'm not saying "all" or saying they report IE push their data to CarFax. Nobody I know of "reports" to CarFax. It's a matter of giving them access and they siphon data. CarFax does have access to service records, insurance records, etc from several different organizations all in the...
