    Do you think it would be worthwhile to try and talk the mods into setting up a separate Aspergers/autism forum in the "Off-Topic Discussion" forum?

    And that has brought with it more than its fair share of problems...

    Just simple trails. I get in 4x4s when it's time for the real fun.

    Why'd you opt for the PreRunner?

    Just didn't really need a 4x4. Wasn't buying a truck for crawling.

    And they are much easier to get a big lift and clearance with. I like that look.

    Also, @Plain Jane Taco says you have an obsession with pinch welds. Why is that?

    Check out my Danbury Mint '66 Mustang! This was at least $100 new, and I picked it up at a swap meet at Raceway Park for a mere $20!

    It's been probably 20 years since I've seen George of the Jungle. Were those black dudes good guys or bad guys?

    Sad but true...

    Back in late 2008, a girl I went to school with didn't like a few photos that had her in them, because she didn't like the way her hair looked. So, what does she do? She reports the whole album to Facebook and gets the album deleted! Luckily, I still had the link to the album and was able to "trick" Facebook. I simply deleted the photos with her in them, added some new photos, and got the album back...

    I only found out about this because she told me she didn't like the way her hair looked in a private message, but after she'd reported the album...

    I chewed her out and told her not to screw with my Facebook photos anymore, and haven't had a problem with anybody deleting my photos until now. Someone apparently didn't like the way they looked and reported photos from my 29th birthday party, and I found them to be mysteriously missing.

    DO NOT FUCK WITH MY FACEBOOK PHOTOS!

    Yep....350 block

    Most V8's have a 90 degree V configuration. 8 cylinders in a 90 degree are inherently fairly balanced. But a 90 degree V6 is not. So when a manufacturer creates a V6 that way they're not very refined. The 3.9 was a perfectly example. Lot's of vibration and bad harmonics. Counter rotating balance shafts can be added to help smooth it out...though the 3.9 did not have these.

    On the other hand, V6 engines that don't start life as 90 degree V8's are generally a 60 degree V. A 60 degree V6 is inherently much smoother. Toyota, Honda, Nissan excel in silky smooth 6's.....all 60 degee V blocks.

    Was the 4.3L 60 degrees or 90 degrees?
