A buddy of mine did a college project and posed as a homeless man for a month. He made more money doing that then his part time retail job.

Parents gave me about $300 budget for Christmas and I'm having trouble finding something in that price range that I actually want and haven't just bought. When I was little that was like $1,000,000.

Oh, I went to Wegmans to pick up some lump charcoal for the smoker and they got rid of it for the winder. Only have the brickets.

I'm going to ask the manager if he can order me some... even if I have to buy in bulk I just want it.

A lb or 2 of some Kobe was on my mind.

My dad said he could probably collect unemployment while still originally getting his salary paid until mid year 2014. He said something silly like that. Part of my slogan. Work harder...Millions on Welfare depend on you..

I'd go for the larger one. I want the ability to do more then 22lbs for parties. My friends have no problem killing a 10lb butt in no time.

I've also read a few places that its best to stay a little under the max limit of electric smokers as the heating elements will have to work OT with too much meat. I'm sure its more brand specific of an issue but either way I'd rather only need it running at 50% then 90%

Morning all. I think I'm going to stick with my Mustang and keep the Malibu Wagon idea on the back burner. I will be planning on putting the Mustang deep into the 12s, if not the 11s.

I was thinking the same thing, they also sell replacement elements on their website. Their charcoal grill actually looks pretty sweet too.

An 11 second car is nothing to scoff at and it would certainly be a very fun street car.

Its a good and realistic goal though. Going much faster then that typically makes most street cars no fund to drive on the street. I'm a high 11/low 12 car stock. It woudn't take much more power to make me not enjoy my car as much.

Gears alone, 12.60s in good weather the minimum if I get traction. Converter, I'm looking at 12.30s maybe. Then I may change my lowering springs out with drag springs and those Welds I will put on that I told ya about.

The car has so much more and the gears will help tremendously. Car was only crossing the line at 4600 rpms and would not hit 10 lbs like it should in 3rd. Was only at 5-6.

If you can do it the way I plan on doing it, it's almost sleeper like for a 99-04 Mustang. The only thing it has now is a blower and that got me at 12.90s multiple times last time in November.

yeah Jay, I don't want to push it much further, but I'm looking to keep stock appearance going on the outside considering the blower is quiet. You said yourself it is.
