  1. Hey Pete my T-shirt guy owes me a favor, let me know if you want to utilize it to make up some shirts to cover insurance costs.. :beer_bang:
  2. Now I'm REALLY looking forward to this!! :atc:
  3. Cool, I can make that one!! :atc:
  4. We deep Fry a couple every year, really easy. 16lb turkey in 45 minutes. The key in my opinion is use peanut oil, inject it with maranade and keep an eye on it so it does not overcook. It ends up VERY moist and not greasy at all.
  5. Sounds like a job for law enforcement. Did you have them arrested yet?
  6. Good advice right there. unless it is a pusher or super C it will be limited to 5K or less.
  7. Very nice Pete, looks like a fun ride for sure!
  8. Driving a moho down there is very enlightening, When you can hear the rig fallin apart around you you realize real quick that 10mph is the magic number 10mph or under is not bad at all, go over 10mph, the suspension cant keep up and it gets ugly quick. It sucks though because at 10mph you get passed and dusted very frequently. Years ago in the class c we found that 50mph, the wife holding the fridge door shut and the microwave frome falling out worked out best
  9. EGR Delete and ARP's, you will be good to go :trickortreat:
  10. The voting was done 12 days after he was elected...
  11. Checked craigslist for you but I see you are on it. Theives suck for sure...
  12. yet another... Arakelien Enterprises is also known as Athens Disposal Company. Release 09-85 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE September 21, 2009 Karen Caesar (626) 575-6728 www.arb.ca.gov Southern California waste hauler Arakelian Enterprises fined $270,000 for emissions violations SACRAMENTO - The California Air Resources Board fined Southern California waste hauler Arakelian Enterprises, also known as Athens Disposal Company, $270,000 this month for diesel emissions violations. An ARB investigation showed Athens, based in City of Industry, Calif., failed to properly inspect their diesel vehicles during 2005 and 2006. The company also failed to comply with the solid waste collection vehicle rule by neglecting to install legally required emission-reduction devices from 2004 through 2008. The installation of these devices is critical in the reduction of diesel emissions. The emissions benefits lost during the time that these devices were not installed are of great consequence to the residents where these vehicles travel, denying them cleaner air to breathe. "Diesel emissions are the most pervasive toxic air contaminant in California," said ARB Chairman Mary D. Nichols. "Routine truck inspections are critical in reducing those emissions and providing clean air for residents." The law requires owners of California-registered truck fleets to regularly inspect their vehicles to ensure that their engine emissions meet state air quality standards. As part of the settlement, Athens is required to: * Guarantee employees responsible for conducting the inspections attend a California Community College training class on diesel emissions compliance testing and provide certificates of completion within one year; * Provide documentation to ARB that the inspections are being carried out for the next four years; * Ensure all heavy-duty diesel vehicles have their software updated with the latest low-NOx (oxides of nitrogen emissions) programming; * Instruct vehicle operators to comply with the state's idling regulations; * Retrofit the appropriate number of solid waste collection vehicles with the best available control technology; * Comply with all requirements applicable to solid waste collection vehicles; and, * Ensure all diesel truck engines are up to federal emissions standards for the vehicle model year and are properly labeled with an emission control certification label. Athens paid $270,000 in penalties: $202,500 went to the California Air Pollution Control Fund for projects and research to improve California's air quality. The Peralta Community College District received $33,750 to fund emissions education classes conducted by participating California community colleges; and, the remaining $33,750 went to the California Pollution Control Financing Authority which guarantees loans to off-road vehicle fleets that need to buy exhaust retrofits to comply with state regulations. Diesel exhaust contains a variety of harmful gases and over 40 other known cancer-causing compounds. In 1998, California identified diesel particulate matter as a toxic air contaminant based on its potential to cause cancer, premature death and other health problems. The Air Resources Board is a department of the California Environmental Protection Agency. ARB's mission is to promote and protect public health, welfare, and ecological resources through effective reduction of air pollutants while recognizing and considering effects on the economy. The ARB oversees all air pollution control efforts in California to attain and maintain health based air quality standards. The energy challenge facing California is real. Every Californian needs to take immediate action to reduce energy consumption. For a list of simple ways you can reduce demand
  13. Or, how about a quater Mil for some 2 stroke blenders..... Engines used to power appliances were not CA-certified. NEWS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Air Resources Board Release 09-84 September 16, 2009 Contact for News Media Only: Karen Caesar (626) 575-6728 ARB fines marketers of gasoline-powered blenders $240K Engines used to power appliances were not CA-certified Sacramento - The Air Resources Board this month fined Orange County-based On the Edge Marketing and CSK Auto Inc. of Phoenix $240,000 for selling gasoline-powered blenders using illegal uncertified small off-road engines to California businesses and residents. Sales of these unauthorized blenders, popular for mixing beverages at tail-gate parties and other outdoor events, occurred in 2007. They feature "two-stroke" engines similar in size to those that power small chain saws, and require that oil be mixed in with the gas. These types of illegal uncertified engines from China can produce emissions 10 times as high as those of compliant certified engines approved for use in California. "Gasoline-powered blenders may be this year's tailgate sensation, but drinkers should not be polluting our air while having a good time," said ARB Chairman Mary D. Nichols. Both companies, which originally imported about 3,000 of these blenders from China, have been ordered to stop selling goods with non-certified small off-road engines, and to make payments to the California Air Pollution Control Fund, which supports projects and research to prevent air pollution. Non-certified gasoline engines can produce excess smog-forming emissions that can cause difficulty breathing, shortness of breath, coughs, heightened asthma rates, cardiopulmonary ailments and premature deaths. CSK Auto, Inc. owns and operates more than 1,300 retail auto parts stores in multiple states under the brand names Checker Auto Parts, Schuck's Auto Supply, and Murray's Discount Auto Stores. The company operates "Kragen Auto Parts" stores in California. CSK bills itself as the largest specialty auto parts and accessories retailer in the western U.S. On the Edge Marketing manufactures and imports a variety of niche items, including private label products.
  14. Carb is out of control .. Dont know how they determine their fine amounts. here is a few... Anonymous tip leads to two San Diego-area motorcycle dealers illegally selling off-road motorcycles . NEWS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Air Resources Board August 31, 2009 Release 09-74 CONTACT: Gennet Paauwe (916) 322-2990 www.arb.ca.gov South state motorcycle dealers pay $180,000 in penalties Illegal sales put public health and safety at risk SACRAMENTO -- The California Air Resources Board last month fined two San Diego-area motorcycle dealers $180,000 for illegal sales. In 2006, ARB enforcement officers got an anonymous tip that San Diego-based GP Motorcycles and Moto Forza of Escondido, Calif., were illegally selling Husqvarna off-road motorcycles as on-road models. ARB investigators confirmed the allegations and took action. "Companies that deliberately flout the law are often assessed higher penalties," said ARB Chairman Mary D. Nichols. "Playing by the rules from the start is the most cost-effective, smart business plan any company can follow." GP Motorcycles and Moto Forza sold several dozen off-road motorcycles to customers who thought they were purchasing on-road models. Many of the bikes were outfitted with so-called "street-legal" kits and licensed for on-road use, both illegal in California. ARB revoked all the on-road licenses and registrations for the illegal bikes sold by GP Motorcycles and Moto Forza. The motorcycle owners were permitted to return their license plates to the Dept. of Motor Vehicles for the appropriate off-road riding stickers and plates. Off-highway vehicles do not meet federal motor vehicle safety standards -- or ARB's emission standards -- required of on-road motorcycles. There are no street-legal kits or conversions that make an off-road motorcycle legal for on-road use or registration. A motorcycle is either certified by ARB for on-road use or off-road use. California's air pollution control efforts include regulating emissions from cars, trucks, buses and motorcycles. Smog can damage lungs, cause coughing and chest tightness, and worsen asthma symptoms while also affecting crop yields. The Air Resources Board is a department of the California Environmental Protection Agency. ARB's mission is to promote and protect public health, welfare, and ecological resources through effective reduction of air pollutants while recognizing and considering effects on the economy. The ARB oversees all air pollution control efforts in California to attain and maintain health based air quality standards.
  15. The way it should be Pete! This month the wife has found reciepts for a 09 ktm 300 xc, 09 ltr 450 (for daughter), santa cruz carbon fiber blur mtn bike. I have found reciepts for new dish washer, quartz counter tops, oven and stove-top and a dec trip to NY.. Ah crap, I gotta go get to WORK!! On the rail, its kinda over par for the course, tranny, motor, shocks... You expect a thing or two buying used but when they pile up like that it sucks... Sounds like you have a solid machine now so enjoy it!
  16. Yep, the 24hr concierge service is very cool, but the annual fee is $495.00 and unless you really like the "carbon card" the concierge service is the only real advantage over the standard rewards card. The rate sucks as well, so if used pay it off every mo..
  17. At 10 lbs boost that is IMPRESSIVE, better find some wood to knock on
  18. Ah yes, I just looked at the print and he didn't mention being bypassed in the rear. Nice purchase, I've had 4 Funco's and the Gen 3 was my favorite.
  19. Tim, In my experience the Gen3's turn quite a bit better than the Gen4's. The Honda is fairly heavy, but it should be a fun ride for sure. Might want to look into a pair of rear bypass', gen 3's wont take front bypass' and dont need them anyways. Nice addition to the stable
  20. Certain years of the 3.5's and 3.2's are more desireable. The rods are the weak point for sure, although still strong enough to put a hole through your oil pan, trust me
  21. Very nice, seen this car a few times. Heard they dune well, be interested in the comparison to your last ride. Congrats!
  22. No big deal, You will need to take it to dmv for vin verification and pay tax on the amount of sale plus registration fees. (figure 10%)
  23. Those are some major hits, sorry to hear it, hopefully you heal up well and land on your feet!
