Damn military firewall..................i can't see the pictures at work. I'll have to wait till I get home to see it.

Did you get a chance to read about the new L98 heads for bigger bore engines in the new GMHTP magazine? They also have a new reasonably priced big bore LSX block coming out. The aftermarket for our cars is getting ******* awesome!!

Cindy is going to add a nice compliment to my income at right around the right time. In 2 years the bugs will have been worked out of all these new products and there will probably be better heads for the awesome new engine blocks and all will be priced within reasonable grasp!! I can't wait.

I got some L98 heads I'll sell for $600. They're even "modified" to fit stock displacement...no big bore required

L98, hehehehe.
That's what happens when you wrap a plastic/alum/mag car around a pole and a fire ensues.

Considering the pole is sitting where the driver should be, I'd say there is good chance the driver did not walk away from that one.

Wonder how those Hypereutectic pistons held up lol...?

I think you hit the nail on the head here....no way an entire car could burn like this without igniting the tire!

Unless that was the side with the fire hose........? Looks awfully wet around the entire car.

Make me wonder if it is real. The ground is obviously wet, but why isn't the tree trunk burned?
