Its okay, the comment was completely understandable. We all know how women drive, and the governor was probably put in to limit the damage they could do. wink.gif wink.gif wink.gif

I'm not saying that. I'm simply implying that no man would want to limit how fast his car can go.

    The day your dad tells you that there is a kilo of cocaine under your car and he already called the cops. That is when you won't want a governor.

    Agreed.... ahole dad.. how irresponseble XDDDDD anyways does anyone know what thouse cop cars have under the hood anyways??? they have to have some major HP but i've heard of some sports cars getting away from them... i wish someone would take a McLaren out against the cops.. cause it has no redline... i'd just floor it down the interstate and burn them.

    but then again i would never risk a half a million dollar car in a police chaise.

    Brand new four stroke 500's with the pistons bored out top around 90-100. Aint no way in hell your 81 CR goes above 70 and that's giving it a lot of credit.

    When I got into work this morning there was a message to call him. Oh boy I can not wait...lol


    update
    well he came in today to get it put on. He could not figure out how to take the tire off the rim ( while still on the car as he described to the service writer who helped him)

    i think he's an idiot for calling a dealership for anything... rip-off scam artists

    I don't think the guy is that big of an idiot... and not everybody is familiar with the tire spec numbers, they can be kind of confusing but saying "goodyear" isn't the best response... changing a tire.... now that would be barking hard to outside in the shed tongue.gif

    There is no way a cr 125 (assuming it's 125cc?) can reach that high of a speed

    yea I will agree the 30k checkups are sometimes not all that necessary but I think the one at my dealership (dodge) is only 299. I would always suggest to anyone who has work done anywhere, ask to see the parts they take off that they say need to be replaced. Or even better ask to see them on the car before they do that work just so you can be sure they are not just showing you something they pulled out of their tool box that gets shown to everyone who they try to sell brakes to.

    That sounds like a better price, my grandfather has had pretty good service with his dodge dealership, they seem to be treating him well becuase he's bought his past 3 caravans there smile.gif Do you do any work on foreign cars like nissans? i need to have my altima's exhaust or tranny checked out tongue.gif biggrin.gif

    most large dealerships will work on any type of car, especially if they sell a lot of used cars as well. The used car techs in our shop are knowledgeable of all types of cars since they will take any make of car as a trade and always need someone to check them out. Sometimes it is always good to get a second opnion too if you need some large work done. Most places will check your car out for 40 or 50 bucks.

    Motocross bike. Power band. Four stroke and 2 stroke race in the same class, by the way. 2 stroke 125 cc races the 250 Four stroke mx bikes. You all need to do a bit of research ;o


    EDIT: Also... if you were even THINKING cr 125 could just be the name, and 125 didn't mean cc's... you really shouldn't be trying to talk about dirtbikes ;o
