I'd love it if this very decent thread doesn't turn into a pissing match.

I already ruined it by my sheer presence. OTOH, it would be fun to realign the new guy's attitude, since we don't have Foxwell to kick around any more. Perhaps we should have a poll...

It's what a millennial stoner calls his buddy when he's too whacked to remember his name.

Bruh, things have changed.

Really? And here I thought 60 year old passenger car engine technology was still the top rung on the ladder. I hadn't even heard of turbos until you mentioned them. Thanks for educating me, "bruh".  ::)

Always has to be a XXX around the FE forums, huh?  I would never actually use the term "bruh" in the real world, but I figured it was appropriate sarcasm for the quality of your initial comment.  If you think 2500 hp and street able is internet folklore, you're only about a decade behind.

Coreyc619, I edited your post to remove your offensive language.  Please read the rules of the forum, which state that a civil tone is required.  Thanks, Jay

Foxwell showed up on the other forum the other day, in case anyone wants to go looking for a random argument.   Don't take my word for it though.....I'm just a puppet.

You sold all your shit, so go to the back of the line, pussy.

No problem Jay.  Thanks for the heads up.

Jay knows that not only can anyone call me anything they want (FEloneee, come out to playaaaay), but that Tommy -T and I go way back, at one time battling it out to be #1 a-hole of the N54 forum. It was a tight race. So me calling him a pussy is sorta like you calling your stoner millennials buddy a bruh, bruh. Matter of fact, I'd feel neglected if he didn't spear me back. 'Cuz that's how I roll.

OK, someone name the movie.

How many miles and how many passes do you now have on the 60 year old technology engine in the Mach?
Best ET?
I have a feeling that it hangs pretty well with some fairly expensive new stuff...

Well, 2 Drag Weeks and 2 FE Reunions, plus 2000+ street miles, so that'd be about 4000 miles and about 40 trips down the strip in about 2 1/2 years. My best ET so far is 12.1 here at home, but it should be in the 11's, if it had a better driver ::)  I keep wittling away at that 60' time. Still, not to shameful for a stock block, stock crank, unported heads, stock intake, factory carbs and 60 year old buggy technology.

No sir.  Absolutely was not referring to your car as a buggy, covered wagon, etc.  That's a beautiful car. My comment was just random sarcasm, engaging in what I thought was playful banter surrounding me being younger (so I must therefore also be clueless ::) ).. No disrespect intended for you personally, or your car.

That's cool.  Your posts are what made me think I could get away with being equally sarcastic and half cocked.  I laughed at several of your comments, and wasn't offended at all - If it matters.  My friends and I use similar "terms of endearment."   No worries here.

You gotta earn that, boah, I mean, bruh. Familiarity ain't awarded just cuz you freakin' signed up to this forum. So don't blame your impetuous insolence on me, whippasnappah. Be mindful of the status quo.

You know, Jay has a valid point in pursuing a maintained code of conduct.  Many a good forum have been ruined by the comments of one horses.. Rear?  Corral.net ruined by KATO ENGINEERING.  HardcoreLS1 by SStrokerAce.  Yellowbullet is immune, I think because everyone knows what they're getting into beforehand... I could go on and on... Anyway, in light of that, and the fact that from the first thread I saw on network 54 some 20+ years ago... Jay is one of several that I look up to and respect. I won't be giving him any trouble.  I enjoy this forum, in part for it not being like most of the rest. You can do what you want... As long as it doesn't include enjoying the deluded idea that you "taught that young punk a lesson" using a condescending tone that didn't go unnoticed. Come on man.  I can think of 15,426,378 reasons why I won't be adding any further clutter to Brent's thread. You see what I did there? Do you even FE bro?

Who, me? Nah. Everybody here knows that all my stuff is a figment of my imagination, and that I know absolutely nothing about cars. "FElony" just exists as a circus sideshow for the train-wreck crowd (free of charge, I might add). Jay gets to beat me down on occasion, as needed, and we're all happy. I play with slot cars in between posts. 9H07Q5. It's a slot car.
