that is the case here

wha???????? :?:

I don't know the guy, but thought I'd try and help a fellow duner out. Spread the word people! :shout: I guess the guy got stuck in a witches eye, got a ride back to camp, then the car was gone when he got back to it only 30 minutes later. F*ck theives! http://www.glamisdunes.com/invision/index....=157349&hl=

Sometimes it costs just as much to spend a weekend at the dunes as it does to stay home. I'm just sayin. If you do it right- it's not that much. Besides, going duning is like the need for oxygen. No matter how bad things are, ya still need it to survive. :clown:

That's what you told me a while back about T-day.

Great to hear progress Jon. Like Ian said, that physical therapy does suck, but it is really important. I had to go through it with my two broken arms a few years ago. Without it, the mobility of my arm movement would have been limited for the rest of my life. Stick with it and be patient. The payoff is invaluable.

the dumbass owner: comments to follow....

You have no idea the capability of some people's stupidity! We had a customer actually do this with his car. Well, it was his old man father in law who did it, but he did the same damn thing. I thought the guy in that link stole my story for a sec! He thought the oil was the coolant and that it was dirty. He thought that there was DIRT in his coolant and that is why it looked like that. Same thing, he thought it needed flushing so he pulled the oil plug in his driveway and ran the garden hose through the oil fill in the valve cover. He did this until the "dirty coolant" came out clear. THEN, he proceeded to FILL the engine up to the top....really....to the TOP with WATER. Water all the way up to the bottom of the oil fill hole neck. Mine, I know for a fact, is a true story. I had to put a new motor in his car. I didn't beleive the story at first when it was told to me. I then realized how fuggin DUMB some people can be. wowwwwwwwwww amazing

psssssshhhhhhhhiiiiiiiiiiat....ME? Forget how to have fun? You funny guy! Have a great weekend down there, mafacka. You won't have yo gin drinkin parter w/ ya though! :clown: gin and 7UP's!!

After all that! wtf? Have fun and be safe down there, Tim! Catch you next trip to D for sure.

Very cool, Cole! Damn that's one big azz plane.

Damn small world. Right on, man. I'll keep an eye out for ya. I should be somewhere around B7 or B8 on the grid map. I have a white Dmax pulling a 34ft Sandpiper Sport. Eff the weather forecasts. They are never right. Hell, it could say 40 mph winds with hail and I'll still be there! Who cares. STILL BEATS WORKING or stayin home!

Either go to bed or don't click on the topic then if you don't wanna read about Busa cars.

I was so waiting for this comment from one of you senior citizens. :dumbass: Like everything else, some things are fun while they last and then get old after while is all. It's not really the loud camps that I don't like anymore- it's the type of people that seem to come out of nowhere and hang out a little too long when that stuff is going on. "Who the hell is that guy?" "I don't know .... :shout: ...Fuggin get outta here!!!"

haha thanks April. BTW, the story behind the pic is posted in the poker run trip report. I actually took the pic and he stole it for pic of the month. And ltr450- that smiley doesn't work because I'm laughing too so I can't be the guy on the right. <--

Your Dune Pic of the month submission is now posted on the homepage. I fuggin KNEW it was gonna win you bastid. Good times.

Sounds like a nice day at the dunes, Terry! Glad you were able to get a small fix. I didn't end up making a trip at all this weekend but I'm ready as hell for next.

^ yeah what he said. Start w/ checking the basics. ...or maybe you flooded the hell out of it with carb cleaner! :rockwoot: If that doesn't work put some 26's on it. :B

ok :shout: Bob!

cool cool...you can definitley count us stopping by. Hell, more than likely we'll end up being neighbors like usual.

I totally hear ya. Sobe bomb camps and loud music all damn night is kinda a thing of the past w/ us now. We like partying with friends...just in a lil more "adult" chill way. Just give me a ring if ya wanna hook up.

(I split the other topic where you posted this since it is almost a topic of it's own ) Anyways, yes I know what you are trying to say Sam. Here it goes. Let's put it this way: Hayabusa sandcars are like a quad with a steering wheel...on steroids! My car is extremely agile through the dunes. You can take on any of the most technical tighter and smaller dunes, but at the same time you can open it up across those long stretches and big bowls and haul azz. Depending how the car is geared (sprocket size), you usually hit speeds of 70-80 mph when you open it up running hard. That is pretty damn fast even for a fullsize car through the dunes. Turbo? Not needed on a Hayabusa car unless you really like hillshooting. IMO, the only advantage a turbo would have is hitting the hill and drag racing. If you are a DUNER and like actually driving and hitting the dunes all day long, I don't think a turbo is really worth it or necessary. I have never had one, but I can go PLENTY fast through the dunes without one. Ask any of my buddies that I dune with. :ah: It seems the only way you can make use of a turbo on a Busa IN the dunes is either when you have the chance and area to really open the throttle up for while or romping out of the corners. I always wondered if the turbo would hurt the torque of a stock motor with the possibility of having a lil bit a turbo lag. Maybe not though. ?? :dumbass: As far as places you can dune a Busa car you can have fun at just about any of those dunes you mentioned. I have duned Glamis, Dumont, Coral Pink, and Little Sahara with my busa cars over the years. The car did great at every place. Glamis was a blast other than those damn cross-ruts in the huge bowls that beat the liven chit out of lighter cars , but those dunes are awesome for running. Coral Pink is badass as well for the car. You are limited to the lines you can take there since you don't have reverse or can make those super tight turns in tight trails full of trees, but if you know the dunes well enough you can have so fun there in a car. I, personally, really like turning and negotiating different terrain and Coral is perfect for that. Your path is constantly changing there from open dunes to tighter trails with bushes and trees. The agility of the small car is awesome for that stuff. Little Sahara I didn't get much of a chance to dune with my car since it was my first trip out with it and I was hesitant to get crazy with a brand new car. That and the group I was with didn't seem to wanna get too deep into the dunes. I did get out into the dunes with my quad and they seemed like they'd be killer for the rail. Dumont is my favorte place for driving my car. It's got the tight stuff where you can really piss off your friends with bigger V8's and slight the azz end around and dart out really fast. It takes the razors really well and the lines at D almost seemed like they are groomed for a busa. Does that answer your questions?

Badass Dave. Happy birthday and glad to hear you had such an epic weekend out there. Don't ya just love those weekends when you are leaving the dunes with a sh*t eating grin on your face? We dumped RIGHT AFTER last trip on the way home! Left the valves open a lil longer than normal that time letting the water run through the tanks. Hey Dan don't forget your Super Strap in case I feel like driving to comp and taking the "high road" back! :dumbass:

Even my a-hole puckered up when you did that chit! ...and I was only taking the pic! :ah: YIAH YIAH!

That's funny. We posted at the same time and basically said the same thing.
