my latest acquisition... more spam!
It's flooding my inbox. Luckily Mozilla Thunderbird is learning quickly and more of it is in my junk folder.

Oh... LOL! My bad!
Estuansis,
If you have comcast you can call them and ask them to look at the IP address that has been sending you the mail, and block it!

We don't. And I'm getting it from different untraceable addresses. But it's always the same sender and subject so Thunderbird is pretty much managing. Over the last fifteen minutes it has almost completely stopped.
I might trace their server(Linux anyone?) and send them some nasty bugs from my AVG quarantine folder... always knew that would come in handy.
EDIT:
I've got bugs in there that cut off internet, stop email from registering log-ins, stop video card software from working, etc. I've caught 'em all.

Man, update on my El Camino. Upon taking the engine apart for a rebuild we found a huge crack just under the cylinder heads on the right side of the block :(
My dad and I each paid half and now we have a brand new(slightly used/old) 357 big block for $500 in the salvage yard. We picked it up this morning :)
Commencing complete overhaul on the engine compartment to ready it for a refit. I'm thinking 375HP vs the 125 - 150HP on the 286 small Block :)
I'm a happy camper.

Essentially, yes. Not too common but a nice bit more horse power than a 350.
And I mistyped. It's a smallblock.
Basically it right here:

We got an awesome deal on it because the guy who runs the salvage yard is an idiot XD

I was thinking the same thing. We're gonna see if we can't find a decent 4-speed out of an old Camaro or Nova.
This job is a customization AND a restoration so I don't want to go too big. It's gonna be a hot rod but I'd like to keep it fairly tame(barring the 357.)

4-speed will hold the power, but it will make it expensive to drive. if you can find a rebuilt 5-speed or order a tranny from a modern company, you'll get better reliability, performance, and gas mileage.

If I can find a 5-speed it would be a good choice but I'm not worried about mileage. Don't drive our hotrods much :)
We're gonna maybe look into a restoration company to see if they have the part. I wanna wait until we find one that's nicely priced.
EDIT: We basically use what we can find :)

I know exactly what you mean. We're looking to see what any of my Dad's friends has. If it comes into our view at a decent price I'm sure we could easily score one.
EDIT: New toy for me! I followed an online guide and made a USB adapter for my Xbox controllers. COOLEST THING EVER!!!!!!! It works great!!

Latest Aquisition?
A new house! Not actually new-built in 1992,but new to us and it's a modular, LOL!!!
The house is setting empty and I just signed the contract.Bank said closing should be 4/30/07
1 acre lot out in the country and only 5 mins to work!!!
$88,000 for 3 bedroom,2 bath,all appliances furnished-made by whirlpool,new carpet,new windows,new water softerer,new crappers,new cabinets,new drywall/paint inside,new furnace,blinds,driveway,new roof,2 decks. Everything is practically less than 3 yrs old,except for the siding!!! They even left the 500 gal propane tank at 60%!!!!
No sexual predators
Only 1/4 mile from the nursing home,so I won't have far to move when I get old!
Even got a large shed,looks like crap,but doesn't leak.
Drawbacks:
No garage-I'll fix that next year.
No lawnmower, LOL-I dread the mowing already, LOL
No air conditioning.
Master bath has french doors- that oak doorjamb needs stained and varnished-a total of 10 mins of work.
I'm not sure how the land and home values vary between the entire USA,but in my area ( north of Columbus Oh),this is very good price.I've been looking for 3 months.
1 acre of good ground runs $20,000 +. Above that,runs around $10,000 + per acre from 3-6 acres.

The land in my area run between $50,000 and $75,000 for a quarter acre depending on the location whether it be on marsh, coast or inland. The houses in my neighborhood run $115 per square foot and go up as you move from neighborhood to neighborhood. I think it is a great deal and I know you will be happy.
