I will buy Jack Stands!!!
Don't mess with my favorite team! (yes, over the lions)
I got won over back when I was like 6 and they had Elway and Davis, and won the 2 super bowls
The best thing I've ever used to get bugs off is Murphy's Oil Soap sprayed on, and a rag with warm water (yes the wood furniture/household cleaner). It will even remove love bugs like they were never there (I'm sure Sean knows about the love bug plague in the fall, bastads). You'll need to wax the area after you use it.
As far as any bug residue, a good cleaner wax and some elbow grease always works for me.
And I just now got the Jackson 5 discussion. I missed that thread.

Buy or :ban:
So today I did something insanely stupid. It all started like this:
I start my truck up, pull out the parking brake release, and shift to reverse. Normally I have to keep my foot on the brake to be at a comfortable speed down my driveway, but today I actually had to give it a little gas to get to the bottom in normal time. I thought it weird, a little red flag in my head went up like "Check this out later" and then I continued my drive. So going thru the neighborhood, and on the main road, the truck isn't shifting at the same places it should, the engine is making different noises, and when I'm off the gas it slows down faster than usual. By the time I get to my only stop light, it smells like someone just laid down a new layer of asphalt, due to it being a construction zone, so I still wrote off the smell. Then I get to school, park, and the smell is still coming out stronger than ever. And that's when I saw a nice cloud of smoke on the passenger side of my truck
My sister actually walked right into it and was like "Sean... I don't think that smell was from construction." By the time I'd gotten over there and handled everything I had to, the cloud was gone, so I couldn't see where it was coming from. I got under the truck real fast and didn't see anything amiss... But the bell was about to ring and I had to get my *** to class. All day, my mind was going crazy over what it coulda been. First thought was wax or something got on the exhaust pipe and burned off, figured it was almost reasonable. Then I thought I blew the head gasket, then remembered I have a straight 6, 1 gasket, means I'd have smoke out both tail pipes. Then I was stuck until about 2:00pm, 20 minutes before school ended. I got a whiff of some burnt rubber, and immediately wondered if my brake was mostly clamped shut. Then I started wondering if it was the parking brake that I disengaged before I left that morning. So I rushed out to the truck, opened the drivers door, and pulled the release AGAIN. Low and behold, it never released this morning! 
Crisis averted

Apparently I'm getting another bumper and I have to hang on to this one for a while.
Ok, I will get a replacement on the way. Just hold onto that one and the box as UPS might want to take a look at it but after 10 business days you can discard it.
Thanks, Jason in sales

Saw a 2010 GT500 in GB with white stripes with HID's today on the road.
My initial reaction was
a GB GT500, but ultimately I could not own that color. It's just too attention grabbing. And the HID's absolutely make the car look cross-eyed. With the snout it has it looks like its trying to see the tip of its own nose.

Bullitts still look better.

Tom, teach him how to use the multi-quote. Give him the same speech you gave me.

It can't do it and be nice about it like I was to you. I mean, I'm still laughing after reading one of his threads where a member of this thread tells him he would need to forge his engine in order to handle the stock Eaton blower along with some nitrous. I'm laughing because he responds that he won't do that, meanwhile his factory Terminator is already forged to begin with but apparently he doesn't know that about his own engine.
