Another Detroit Iron about to enter the mzziaz household

[Lebowski]

My dad had an '85 GT convertible that he bought new and kept til around 98 or 99 ... Fun car, but a total piece of shit.

[cawimmer430]

Warum? Good price for some point and shot, right? 

[mzziaz]

Hey Per, let me know if you want an Edelbrock strip kit, if they're hard to find over there. I have a set I bought for the past carb on the Dodge that I never ended up keeping in use.

Uhm, will I need one?

mzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz's name is Per?  I always associated that more with Germans. 

Guilty as charged. Per (short form of Peter) is primarily a Norwegian and Swedish name, IIRC,

[Laconian]

Wouldn't a shorter form of Peter be Pet or Pete?

Using those shortening rules, would I become "Ken"?

It went from Peter via Pädher(old Swedish)/Peder(danish) to Per, according to Wiki.

I would be "Alder"

Hmm, I was going by Per Mertesacker.

Not by the sound of it, but sending this box of jets and rods and springs all the way to Norway is a lot more interesting than trying to hock it to yokels on Craigslist :P

I figure you're obligated to continue the Carspin circle of free carburetor parts.

[Laconian]

He'll compensate you with well-sloshed aquavit!

Showing some love for Arsenal I see.

Not really.  I'm a Liverpool guy, but Mertesacker's skill is undeniable.  I bought him in Fifa when Skrtel's performance was beginning to diminish and he started demanding a higher salary than he was worth.

[Mustangfan2003]

You see the new Liverpool kits?  They look like some terrible crap from the early 90s.  I really enjoy the wheeling and dealing on FIFA.  In my first season Barcelona made me an offer for Jack Wilshere for a lot more than he was worth.  I was like alright and used the money I made to buy Neymar.  It was great and all until he requested a transfer in the next season.  Anyways, what do you think about all the Luis Suarez transfer rumors? 

[mzziaz]

So, I need a US address for getting tech info about the car from Ford.

Also, freight from Spokane to CA turns out to be a pain. Maybe I can get a spinner to do an all expenses paid trip to get it?

Where in Cali?

[mzziaz]

Where in Cali?

Gardena, CA. Wanna do it?

[Soup DeVille]

Why so far south? Anyways: Chimp isn't that far from Spokane, and Benz isn't far from Gardena.

I'm on the other side of the country completely.

[Soup DeVille]

You can use my address if you want to, though.

What tech info do you need?

Should be doable. You'd have to get a ferry across the Bering Sea.

Dude I would do the hell out of that.

[Cookie Monster]

You're also welcome to use my address. PM me if you want it.

If I had nothing to do and still lived in CA I'd definitely do that.

Domestic flights are pretty cheap, no?

I thought a paid road trip to California in a souped up Mustang is exactly what you life would need right now.

Thanks, you've got PM.


Norwegian DMV requires valid specs of the car for registration. Turns out Ford delivers such information for a reasonable cost, but only to US and Canadian addresses.

Cool! You've got a PM.

Thanks man! I'll keep your offer in mind if the guys above bail on me.

I was trying to save you money, although I appreciate the offer. Seems like Chimp wants to take you up on it.

[Secret Chimp]

I've already done plenty of trips like this in a much smaller car. Plus I don't drive like Rags so I'm not going to be oversteering it into curbs and blaming the tires or anything :P

Rich is close to Spokane too but I don't see him piping up, so firsties!

[mzziaz]

Don't you dare destroy those beautiful white lettered tires with massive burnouts!

Haven't seen the new kits.

I think Suarez will probably go, but Wenger is full of shit.  He's all talk and hasn't spent a dime this offseason yet.  I'm worried; with Suarez gone, they'll have the money to buy talent similar to his (not as good, obviously, as he's likely the third best player in the world), but I think they'd prefer to Moneyball it and buy 10 teenagers. 

[GoCougs]

I actually live the closest to Spokane than anyone, but no, this would be kinda weird for me, plus I have lots of things going on...

This is it



It would be nice if Arsenal would spend some cash every now and then.  Would be nice if we still had RVP.

No more collar?  I don't really like that.
