Well, it probably isn't from Katrina, but the new one that is coming through (forgot the name of it) that is looking like it's going to hit New Orleans again. In my opinion, they should leave what's underwater down there UNDERWATER!!! It was only a matter of time until the levy's broke and/or the bilge pumps went down.

 

Is is too late to move to Alberta? I could use $400 towards my engine....

 

Bilge pumps[&:]

Fuel injected engines help with fuel economy tremendously. Its just that we want more power. Just think, your 4.3L engine puts out more power then a factory carb'd 350 did 30 years ago. Kind of hard to believe isn't it. Not too mention you get better gas mileage then the 30 years ago. I remember when gas was .25 cents a gallon. I was pumping it at my Dad's Standard gas station. Standard, as in Amoco, or rather its BP now. Yea, been a long time.

Get your gas in the morning, Friday morning. No doubt by after noon gas prices will be climbing again. Today it was at 2.58 per gallon.

Honestly I do hope Rita follows the same path as Katrina. Most of the damage has already been done, and most of the citizens have been evacuated. I figure it would cause less damage then anwhere else. Lesser of two evils tpype thing.

 

Just went and filled all gas tanks tonight and on the way back stopped at the store to buy ice-cream bars and Lucky Charms for comfort. Now I (in the midwest) am ready to ride out the storm...

I forgot to add : I remember having a motor scooter (not technically a Moped, it could not be pedalled, and didn't have a clutch) and filling it at the gas station for $1.25. That tank of gas would last me a week atleast. This was my mode of transportation in highschool, didn't have a car. I also had a canoe, and a bike. I wish I was in that shape now. Would sure save on gas!

 

Hmm...... Well, I didn't THINK I had Vortec, but I guess you're saying I do, since I have an S-10 Blazer (though not the newer, better kind of Vortec). Guess I'd better go check! Will read the info when I have more time, it's 12:26 AM and I need to go to sleep.

 

You know what I just thought of? If the new hurricane follows in Katrina's path, It'll pick up that nasty biohazard corpse etc. water and spread it around!!! God, I am glad I live in the Midwest!!!

 

i guess how Daimler-Chrysler has their HEMI GM has their Vortec?

 

Exactly. Also, you started up again a very, very old post, from about 1.5 years ago. lol

 

Yes, please stop digging out old threads... Instead, make new ones!

 

They're not old threads, they're "classic" threads! LOL
