No I used nitrous on that car until I cracked the head across each valve. I put it a new head on it without changing the cam or flat-tappets.Which when you do that you can cause your flat tappets to not move rip the cam to pieces and bend the valves. (I did that before I went to Wyo-Tech)thats why I had to get a new car because my old car broke the day b4 school. ---

I am a domestic fan, but not because of any of stupid ass reasons in this thread. 😃 Imports suck because they use small displacement motors that sound like weed wackers and chain saws. But the same applies to the small displacement domestic motors. No matter how powerful they are, they sound like shit. Cars are supposed to have engines that have more CI that a pop bottle. Fuck all small displacement motors. the other reason imports and POS 4-banger domestics suck balls is the owners. If someone with one of these cars loses a race to a v8, the first thing out of their mouth is “but you have a bigger motor”. fucking ricers. I rarely see a v8 driving domestic owner complain about weight when he loses to a small engined hunk of shit. 😃 ---

I am a “domestic guy”…but I respect and like (some of) the imports that are built to go fast. I am not a fan of the riced out econoboxes that are not built for performance from the factory. I think the thing is there are a lot of douchebags that drive civics all riced out with pep boy’s parts and those idiots give imports a bad name…but the way I look at it everyone has their own thing and it really doesnt matter as long as you dont act like a douche…just my $.02 ---

Do you like Phil Collins? I’ve been a big Genesis fan ever since the release of their 1980 album, Duke. Before that, I really didn’t understand any of their work. Too artsy, too intellectual. It was on Duke where Phil Collins’ presence became more apparent. I think Invisible Touch was the group’s undisputed masterpiece. It’s an epic meditation on intangibility. At the same time, it deepens and enriches the meaning of the preceding three albums. Christy, take off your robe. Listen to the brilliant ensemble playing of Banks, Collins and Rutherford. You can practically hear every nuance of every instrument. Sabrina, remove your dress. In terms of lyrical craftsmanship, the sheer songwriting, this album hits a new peak of professionalism. Sabrina, why don’t you, uh, dance a little. Take the lyrics to Land of Confusion. In this song, Phil Collins addresses the problems of abusive political authority. In Too Deep is the most moving pop song of the 1980s, about monogamy and commitment. The song is extremely uplifting. Their lyrics are as positive and affirmative as anything I’ve heard in rock. Christy, get down on your knees so Sabrina can see your asshole. Phil Collins’ solo career seems to be more commercial and therefore more satisfying, in a narrower way. Especially songs like In the Air Tonight and Against All Odds. Sabrina, don’t just stare at it, eat it. But I also think Phil Collins works best within the confines of the group, than as a solo artist, and I stress the word artist. This is Sussudio, a great, great song, a personal favorite.
