EDIT: I want to give a little more background information about myself and the project. I'm 18, fresh out of high school and live turning wrenches. I am not made of money by a long shot, I work my 8-6 job Monday trough Friday, and do all my own labor. I want to make a statement with this...
Im planning on swapping the Mark VIII 4v engine in my car. Does anyone know the differences between that and the 96-98s besides the obvious, intake, and cams
Does an officer have the right to question a minor (17) as a suspect for a federal crime without an attorney, parent, or legal guardian present?
I was read my Miranda rights, and held against my will in a police car by an officer. I denied him the right to hand search my phone for evidence...
I recently purchased an 06 F150 FX4 and when I bought it the reverse sensors worked as they should. But as of a few days ago, the interior light shows that the sensor is "off". Obviously i have pressed the button to turn it on but it refuses to change the light. Occasionally it will be "on" when...
I've owned my cobra for 7 months, drive it occasionally, and as far as I remember I have only received one compliment on the car, a police officer who thought it sounded good. I was only in kindergarten when the 99 cobra was released so the previous models were definately "before my time", as...
I get a call from a guy asking to come see it, we meet and he looks at it and decides to buy it. So come Monday and Tuesday he tries to find a loan for the car, unable to do so he decides to wait until december when he has all the cash together. But wait, it gets better. It is 9:39 am, im...
Besides the obvious supercharger, what features were different between the two, so far I've just noticed the front center console doesnt have a a lower console on the 01's.
Also what features did these trucks come with over the regular supercrews, I'm having a hard time finding info on this...
I'm looking to get into a new DD before the snow falls, and I can't decide what to get, if anyone who's owned one of these could shed some light on the subject, it would be appreciated.
I'm looking at getting either a 99-04 Lightning, a 2001-2003 Harley F-150, or a 2004+ F150 FX4. All three of...
Not sure if this is the best place I can post this, but ill try anyway. I have a 2002 Mustang 3.8 with the auto and I'm looking to swap to a 5.4 2V with an eaton on top (eventually). The first problem I'll run into is how hard is it going to be to turn the 3.8 into the V8. I'm lost with what all...
I have a 2002 Mustang 3.8 with the auto and I'm looking to swap to a 5.4 2V with an eaton on top (eventually). The first problem I'll run into is how hard is it going to be to turn the 3.8 into the V8. I'm lost with what all is required right now. Second, I'd like to keep the auto in for a...
Was washing the car last weekend and noticed someone/something decided to key my car. It comes from the passenger front quarter panel all the way back to the passenger rear quarter panel. On and off like they lifted off pressure and then it was reapplied. My finger nail does catch on the scratch...
I'm looking to enroll in a new school in the fall of 2012, i've been searching for awhile and can't find anything solid. What are the best "racing/engine building schools" or the best "customs/fabrication" schools in the area? Google isnt very helpful.
Just got off work late tonight and as im pulling out I pull up right next to a black 2003 corvette. We run through town just messing with each other until we get out onto the two lane highway, and here's where it gets interesting. We roll up next to each other both doing about 30 and gun it, at...
I'm planning my new engine build this winter and I'm just looking for opinions on what direction to go. The car is 90% street, I could go either way on keeping it manual or going auto, and I can't decide which direction to go with the power adder or engine. Hopefully some light can be shed on...
We'll start in chronological order. As i was driving home a police officer pulls up behind me follows me through town for about a mile or so, as we pull up to a red light, he changes lanes, rolls down his window and proceeds to give me props on how good the cobra sounds (flowmaster with o/r x)...
Here's my situation I just picked up a 98 Chrome Yellow Cobra in amazing condition. I never planned on driving this thing daily, I have another mustang for that duty. So I was hoping to qualify for collecters insurance of some sort. The problem is I cant seem to find anyone that will accept me...

So I went to see my local recruiter this morning, and I was left with a few open ended questions.
1) Is 87 a good ASVAB score? I was told it was the best score my recruiter has ever seen a highschooler do.
2) I'd work one weekend a month after I sign for 6 years, what would I be doing?
3) He...
