I'm west of the Mississippi. ;)
When Jay says "west of the Mississippi" he actually means "located in California". ;)
I'd phrase it more as west of the Rockies. You know, that thing that's called the continental divide. :laugh: That's what I think of as the East/West divider. I'm slightly miffed, but if you guys back east want to do all the heavy lifting for us, that's ok too.

Well, I'll admit to having mild to moderate trust issues for reasons that I hope are understandable to those who have been here a while. No offense intended, just the way it is. Brad D.'s the only Beamter that I've never met face to face.

I know this isn't technically "Tech Talk", but I figured that since this many Beamters (real and imagined) are together, I'd probably get a straight answer to a query I've been noodlin'. . .
So what is the recommended O.D. of the garden hose I should place in my exhaust? M20 motor, fresh timing belt by previous owner and a shiny hot air intake.
TIA.

Hey, at least YOU live East of the Rockies so at least there was some hope until Jeremy revealed that it's also a popularity contest.

I didn't even know there was an election and I'm bummed because I would have liked to get in a Shermanesque statement or two before balloting began. :(

My ballot was confusing. I think I accidentally voted for Pat Buchanan.

Fuck. My mom just told me that the robe I found was just my "uncle" George's.
At least I still have the ring and ALL those memories.

It all depends on if you have a good OE cat or not. A cheap 5 year old replacement and you won't need much at all. :roll:
