| It will be intresting to see what the camero comes out with. Pretty hard to beat a hemi though. Now that the ZR1 is the top of the line Vette, you'll prolly see the LS7 in the '09 Camaro. But with fuel prices being what they are, GM may delay or kill the Camaro as they have(had) no plan to offer a ... |

| At the price of aftermarket parts today, it would take more than $5400 for the 4.6 to match the Hemi's 425 horsies. And at the end of the day you'd still be driving a Ford (a debris-spewing money-hole soon to be perma-parked in front of the "home" of someone named Bubbles, Ricky or Julian). |

| Are you just randomly stringing together words? You are consistently incoherent. What does that have to do with anything you have said and why if you are so concerned about it did not bother to expand upon this point when initially asked? Brevity is the soul of wit but you need to compleat the thou... |

| The bottom line is the media is playing up the idea that all these folks are innocent and were simply caught in the wrong place at the wrong time. The military dosen't do PR so the story looks clear to the uninformed public. The bottom line is that it is the media's duty to question the government.... |

| ...To buy into the line that these folks were innocent and simply found themselves in the wrong firefight with the wrong armed mob at the wrong time is fancifull. 1. many of the people taken to Gitmo and Al Guarib were snatched from their homes on SUSPICION of being involved in the insurgency or SU... |

Uh, nothing? :roll: Maybe you don't know me that well, but I think that NATO has served its purpose now that the Cold War is over... Ok I guess I misunderstood your... |

| In my neck of the woods Purolator rules. Fedex not so much. Purolator I believe they're owned by Canada Post as well but that's not a good enough reason not to try a re-deliver. International shipping by Fedewx is best though.....although I'm sure you pay for it. That would explain why the only not... |

| Nice to see that after a two year absence, the same debate still RAGES. NOT!!! Both sides have some good points and some gaping holes. And it seems both sides are implacable and further debate will resolve nothing. And at what point does the whole discussion become irrelevant. I would have thought a... |

| Somewhat over 100 000 personnel, with a major shift of resources from the army to the Navy and Air Force. That's a lot of hotel rooms to rent and a lot of cable TV to pipe in. Uh helloooo. Do you really think we should have to tolerate local tv with "Mayberry RFD" reruns, on those mid-Jan... |

| Kind of laffed at the overlong post ranting about a substantial armoured presence. The '67 Arab-Israeli spat showed why large squadrons of tanks are nothing more than easy targets. Back then they had slow transmission, lo-res sats giving target guidance. Hell, the gps in my car receives more accurat... |

| Any chance you could post a pic? I'm more familiar with Holleys, and I believe the last carbureted Mopars used Carters, but what you're describing sounds more like a fuel pressure regulator problem than an incorrectly adjusted idle-air mixture screw. BTW, which direction did you turn it (CW or CCW) ... |

| I've been a big fan of Hitchens' since he wrote, "The Trial Of Henry Kissinger". Put into context, Kissinger makes Saddam Hussein and Osama Bin Laden look like boy scouts. It's utterly, and absurdly, hypocritical for any country to point-out the evils done by minor depots and lunatics, whi... |

Notwithstanding that what you said seems completely off-topic, I'd have to strongly disagree. I... |
