    Top Ten things you are likely to hear during the Superbowl game

    #10) Peyton Manning finally got that "monkey" off his back by beating the New England Patriots in the playoffs. #9) The 1985 Chicago Bears defense was the best defense ever in the history of the known universe. :D #8) The 2006 Indianapolis Colts had the worst rushing defense ever in...

    So how would you describe your driving habits?

    My girl tells me I'm a completely different driver in the truck compared to my DD (weak ass '94 honda civic). I suppose it's because I drive the underpowered import all week and when I finally get in the truck I'm just happy to have some real power on tap. Still, I never tailgate or cut people...

    Ford company's new obsession with suing the planet

    Most of you probably know by now that Ford and it's scumbag lawyers have recently embarked on a "cease and desist" campaign to force small businesses with "mustang" in their company name to remove it or else face a lawsuit and/or penalties. Here's a link to one of the stories if you haven't...

    Who wants to take bets on George Steinbrenner?

    Now that the Yanks have officially choked up another $200 million dollar season, who wants to bet on how long it takes before ol' Georgie's head explodes? I'm sure he'll place all the blame on Joe Torre and A-Rod like he usually does. Can't wait to see the off-season slaughter that is going to...

    Who watched Sportscenter this morning?

    Did anybody see that short video clip highlight of some guy who went psycho and drop-kicked some other racer's windshield on the race track? Then he tried to pull the dude out and was fighting other members of his pit crew. :lol: :lol: :lol: Does anybody know what racing circuit that was...

    Anybody know the part# for this air filter?

    This is the old motoblue CAI setup with the MAC filter. I'm having trouble locating a part# for the filter... I've cleaned it several times with a recharge kit over the last couple years but it's got a couple tears in it now so i'm just gonna replace it. Any ideas on the part#? Or perhaps...

    Truck is running again- dyno tune up next!

    Well, I fixed my screw-up with the vacuum lines (thanks guys) and now the truck is back on the road. I can definitely feel the added power from the ported eaton (thanks Bill). Sucker is much louder too. However, I know there's more left on the table so I'll be going to set up a date for a...

    OK, I am now a certified dumbazz- need help

    I got my intercooler and new ported eaton back on the motor and torqued down to specs. I had made myself a little diagram of the vacuum lines while I tore everything down and of course now I can't find it, so yes I am an idiot. :bash: I have the green vacuum line connected to the top of the...

    Cleaned my nasty Intercooler- pics!

    This is my I/C after 24k miles. I didn't expect it to be that bad, but bad it was indeed. I added an L&S oil sep about 3k miles ago, so I'm hoping next time I do this it won't be nearly as cruddy. To clean it, I used a small bristle brush and one of the greatest inventions known to...

    Removed my blower- pic of the rotors flaking

    Took off the S/C today to make ready for the ported one I'll be getting from Bill (wikdsvt). After only 24k miles, I honestly didn't expect the flaking to be noticable. For those of you who have removed your eatons, I was wondering how bad yours looked. You can't see it in the second pic...

    Other than an SVT, what was your favorite vehicle that you owned?

    Of course our SVT's are great, but I'm sure some of you guys miss some old rust bucket that you used to drive once upon a time. Several years ago I had a '77 Silverado. Single cab, longbed, 454, turbo 400 automatic (originally a 350 truck). It had an ugly azz yellow and white paint scheme...

    Who has quit smoking?

    Cigarettes, (not tree for some of you out there) :lol: Wondering who's been able to quit and what method was used. I'm starting to realize that with all the money I've wasted over the past several years on marlboros, I would have had a new KB for the truck or a built motor for the notchback...

    Got to drive a twin-turbo Bentley- couple pics

    I was up in Boston this past weekend visiting some family and I was drooling over this car as soon as I saw it (which belongs to an extremely wealthy guy who married into the family). He was nice enough (or crazy enough) to let me take it for a spin. It's a Continental GT with a 6-litre, 12...

    Pics of my black '03 with silver grillcrafts

    I had a couple requests for some pics of my truck with the silver grills so here they are. Not sure how the photo quality turned out.... I'm still learning my new digital camera. Tell me what you think. Please ignore the bumper gap... I'm gonna fix that soon :bash: -Matt

    Any HVAC people around? Need troubleshooting help

    Well my home a/c unit crapped out on me yesterday so I need a little help troubleshooting from an a/c guru. The problem is that when I turn on the thermostat switch inside the house, the outside unit compressor/fan isn't kicking on. I busted out my trusty fluke meter and found that it's...

    Good news for once

    Well, the guy was able to fix my windshield this morning. I was surprised as big as the crack was. You can still see it but only if you get up close. Cost me $50, but that's way cheaper than a new windshield and he guaranteed it not to spread. Now let's just hope the inspection nazi's...

    Damn windshield got cracked! @#!$%#!

    Long story short... flying rock @ 70 mph = big farckin' chip and spiderwebs in my windshield. I've got a windshield repair guy coming tomorrow to look at it, but I doubt it can be fixed. The whole thing is probably about the size of a 50-cent piece or bigger. There goes the money I was saving...

    What's the most ridiculous horsepower story you've ever heard?

    Ok, I know every one of you out there has met people like this.... You might be at a parts store, hanging at a party, maybe a sports bar, or anywhere having a conversation about engine mods and horsepower when some moron chimes in and tells you a story about how he gained 50 horsepower just by...

    What do you think of these wheels?

    They are KMC 820 SS. I've seen them on a Tru Blu gen2 and thought they looked pretty nice... kinda remind me of the Boyd Smoothie II's, just not nearly as pricey. They are available in 18x9 and up... not sure of the backspacing though (I know stock is 5.8). Can't afford wheels right now...

    Just another newb

    Hello to all fellow L owners. Figured I'd finally get a profile on this site... some of you might know me from nloc.net (bosoxfan). Thought it was time for a new identity which best decribes my current situation... I spend too much darn money! Anyway I own a black '03, around 23k miles...
