ghost rider was alright, could of been better imo

23 tho left me looking for my jaw on the ground

[xeroinfinity]

I've read or heard several Book pertaning to the #23.

I also sawJim Cary on Dave Letterman the other night.
They have been playing the commercial on IFC and Sundance alot since the 23rd.

Have you ever seen Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless mind ?
That"s a trippy show !
I had to watch it 7-8x before it all made since,
and still I'm not certain of that

Btw you guys like my cheesy drawing of the GT in my Sig ?

[grfnkl]

I haven't seen either ghost rider or 23 yet... but I was hearing some good things about ghost Rider. 23, I honestly haven't seen any previews or heard anything about it. I saw a preview for Spiderman 3... Now that i can't wait to see. Hopefully the preview, isn't the only good parts of the movie...
Eternal Sunshie of the spotless mind.. Sounds familiar, can't remember if i've seen it or not. the one movie I still don't undestand to this day no matter how much people try to explain or how much I've watched it is the Matrix. I just don't get it.

I saw the G/a in the signature, it's a drawing? I thought it was a photoshop pic with different filters added to the picture to be honest. It's looks excellent for a drawing of it! I have a Intaglio print of my old g/a. As you can tell i finally updated mine as well to the various years of the G/a.


SNOW TONIGHT! 3-6 inches! Maybe no work tomorrow cuz i say so!!! WOHOO!!!!! ( advantages for living the furthest for work compared to everyone else!) hahahhahah!

Yipe its been croped and resized to the 400x150 regulation spec

Here is the original pic, you can see my shabby pencil work really good.
GT full scale

I used a few drafting templates for the circles and certain curves. I'll clean it up with an eraser shield before I color it with pencils.
I forgot the shadow line on the front fender...
I'll add some colour to it later and it'll look even better.

btw I heard Spiderman 3 was going to be kickass!

I dont even want to talk about weather
We had icy rainy snowy Sat., it sucked !

[Gir-_-]

so I think I blew a hose last night on my coolant... was coming home last night at like 2:30am fun night till this...

I havent went out to see what but it felt like something close to my foot, at first I thought I ran over like some plastic so I moved lanes and it still kept going then I realized my temp shot up .... so that sucked, I figured I was still good just the sensor was freakin out cause of the release....

I really gotta get this taken care of

[grfnkl]

Gir: Oooo, that's not good! Better get the coolant problem checked! Sounds like things are getting worse! hopefully it's only a hose that went bad, causing all the problems!!!

XI: For a rough sketch of a G/a it's very good. I've tryed doing the newer g/a's and have a hard time drawing them. I can draw other years better though. I'll have to scan in a pic of my 88 that's i did through Intaglio ( italian print making) thats one of my best ones!

On a more annoying side today, I want to break my computer at work since it seems like NOTHING wants to work . The only thing I've gotten on with no problems is AF! That's a first as well! So basically I haven't been able to get much work done at all!!!!

[xeroinfinity]

YA Gir thats not sounding good at all!
If you over heat your car to much it will ruin your heads as they are aliminum and warpout easy.

Thanks grfnkl, it took me about 8hrs over a couple days.
I am glad to see all the money I spent on art school for 18 months, and a two years of AutoCad from one of those Ivy leage places
A draw/doodle just about everyday, I just dont apply myself(thats what I've been told).

My PC seems to be running well, still waiting on my laptop to get fixed
Hell I've so mych trouble with AF I was about to say F**** IT ! Keep getting 404 page cant be found, heavy usage try later I dont have any trouble with any other sites.

Shit, my backs been giving me all sorts of trouble this past weekend. I ended up in the hospital yesterday to see if they could figure out what was up.

They said nothing was broke, retards I knew that!
Said it was a muscle strain(they have no clue in other words) Doped my up with something that about knocked my ass out but didnt even help touch the pain.
The Vicodines Help though

I've just been doing 18-20hr days with snow removal and towing idiots out of the ditches
I think the real killer is my Dakota is a 5sp and then operating the blade at the same time is just working muscles I havent used in some time.

Well lets see how long this takes to post my "quick reply"....

[Gir-_-]

from what I remember, the temps when I had no coolant just stayed at 205-210F but now the sensor is all wack so I dont know lol

it doesnt 'feel' any hotter but lol not like I can gauge that with TSSST OUCH THAT HURT .. hot is HOT! lol

[xeroinfinity]

No Coolant !

Just Junk it !

[xeroinfinity]

I was just kidding about junking it

You can burn up that temp sending unit if its ran dry too long.
Thier's two things you never want to run out of,
thats oil & coolant. Sounds like your headers might have to wait

On a side note does anyone know where you can buy a G5 spoiler?
I didnt see them at PFYC, just the G6.
I saw a G5 that had a factory wing looked pretty nice

[grfnkl]

G5 wing... i don't know Ebay prehaps? there are a few places i'm sure that sells aftermarket that look like it.

So I started the Toyota project again, by getting my fiances mothers toyota started and going again. I also have a person interested in buying it as well, despite the sludge in the radiator. !


I gota to go, got someone who wants to see space for a wedding.. oh joy

[Gir-_-]

yea g5 spoiler looks neat, dont like the G5 tho now that ive seen them up close... to small

the car rental im getting today is only going to cost right around $90, thats not bad at all for a little pos to get me places while the GA is at the dealer...

Before I take it to the dealership im going to put some distilled water, in there to make the trip to the dealership... I have power steering fluid on hand now to help w/ steering while it gets there... I just know im going to be sooo picky and anal about the dash being taken apart....

[xeroinfinity]

I dont like the G5, just its wing kinda.
I searched all over for a SC/T wing
I'm going to call a couple salvage yards tomarrow,
that is if my back feels better

Last night I deceided to make my own ram air hood
I saw some knock offs that were $700, GM parts direct wants $997 for the real deal.
I already have an extra hood, just buy some cooL scoops.

Never trust a mechanic

[grfnkl]

$90 for a rental car? Isn't that a bit high...? Hopefully that's for more then one day though!!! It's good though to hear that you are getting the g/a fixed. hopefully the end of the problems for now.

I sat in a G5 before i got the 6. I wasn't impressed, at all very small, and cramped. Not very comfortable either.

have you tried PFYC for the sc/t wing. is wasn't that badly priced there. I got mine on ebay when i bought it. i would like to see what your ram air hood is gonna look like when completed, that should be sharp. I have an extra headlight at home... even though i don't have the g/a maybe i should mess around with it and customize it like i was going to.

Well Almost time to leave.

enjoy the day guys!

[xeroinfinity]

$90 a day is about right, even here where I live.

PFYC are kinda pricey on thier stuff.
I've just been bored as shit all week thinking of stuff I'd Like to do to the GA's.

I'm sure I'll come up with something cool by spring.
Still trying to keep the SE looking like the grocery getter though
