New England B.S. Thread

In Waterbury going in any direction just sucks...

 

Touché. You got me there.

 

As she should!

Happy 4/20 assholes! I've had a great week, a 1.5 million dollar week to be exact. That's a lot of drywall and I haven't had a week like that in almost 7 years. Anyone know any guys that are in construction and want to work, let me know. Gonna be busy next month.

 

Yeah, she's already nicknamed it 'Magnum'
I'm trying to push for 'Brosnan' since the color name is 'Maximum Steel' and it reminds me of Remington
And I don't want to run around in a truck she's named after a condom.

 

Just what you need out there. Lol

It was spitting snow on my home from work last night here, but none on the the ground 5am when I left to scout for turkeys.

 

I am really hoping it is gone by the end of the weekend, the weather seems to finally be turning, but I won't believe it until I see it.

 

Just like the Koreas, really

 

Honest to God, I actually had that typed and deleted it before I posted. Glad to see I’m not the only one who thinks that way

All the guys that you may want to hire are all working full tilt, it’s crazy how busy everyone is. We can’t get enough bodies to crew up projects.

 

Koreas? There’s more than one

 

Ooh, does this mean we can do 3/4 ton drag races?!?!

 

Yeah, there's Korea Korea, then there's mainland Korea where they've got the big wall and the huge dam, right? Not to mention island Korea where they had that tsunami a couple of years ago, with the leaky nuclear plant.

Most boring drag race ever, 3/4 ton gassers lumbering their way down the strip.

You'd probably win; between the beer can body and the larger engine you'd definitely have the edge in power-to-weight.

 

I know, the ones that are looking for work are the ones that absolutely suck. I can find bodies, I just can't find guys that can read plans and operate a tape measure.

 

They are...slowly...driving...away.

(Likely faster than my 3G, but who's timing)

 

Can I come race? I got a 3500 gmc with a big dumper bed, it's a gasser too! Surprisingly (or not) it can get moving faster than my taco



Off I go to use a blower to blow grass covered snow in the hopes it fluffs it up a bit for tomorrows wedding. Oh well, at least tomorrow will be half way decent for the couple.

 

Or the ones that supposedly have construction experience but still have to count the individual 8ths on a tape measure?

Funny that you both went there simultaneously.

 

Don't most all V8s in production have like 600 hp these days? I've lost track.

 

The Ford 6.2 makes 385hp/430lb-ft
The Ram 6.4 makes 410hp/429lb-ft (the 5.7 makes 383hp/400lb-ft)
The GM 6.0 makes 360hp/380lb-ft

At least for the 3/4 tons. In the half tons they probably have higher outputs from the V8's

 

All of them are a moderate cam and fuel adjustment away from 500hp tho!

 

For sure.

 

That seems like most cars these days, it's wild. My friend bought a new Civic Si and did a flash which gained like 27 hp and 40 ft-lbs out of a 1.5L. It transformed how it drove too.

Slowhawk Performance which is one of the better LS tuners around is in my hometown and sometiems I resist the urge to drop off the Vette and just say "make it faster". They got almost 400 WHP out of a cam and exhaust on a 99 like mine which has the weaker intake manifold for C5s.
