Used to work in a parts warehouse of a CAT dealer. I love those things.

I'm a GM guy and I wouldn't exactly say the 5.3 and 6.0 are then best motors ever made. I wouldn't even list them in to top 50.

It's a shame CAT left the on highway market.

The one kid was like "I agrew with everything Blevs91 (me) said!" Right after spewing some stupid ass bullshit. I had to distance myself from that, especially since he looks 12.

And some of these Dart owners make me not even want to post pics of my car so as not to be associated with them.

Bud, as I usually do. Bars around here don't carry MGD which would be my first choice. I also had a Blue Moon whoch I wouldn't have bought had I realized it was $6...the pitcher of Bud I got after that was $7...

I told him to google Castech heads. Saying the 5.3 and 60 are the best engines ever is a stretch to say the least. Why u no include LSx??

Chris_K_F drives an FR-Slow > oldirtybootz
05/01/2014 at 22:45

Lol yeah, bars are expensive. Hence why I'm mixing drinks at home, plus you can't whip an MX-5 around the track while drinking at a bar. haha Oh, and I have work tomorrow too, so that's also a good reason to not go to a bar tonight.

Logansteno: Bought a VW? > oldirtybootz
05/01/2014 at 22:47

I'm still waiting for the Castech heads on my dad's truck to crap out. His is right in the middle of the affect years. Woohoo.

Now the LSx, that's in the top 3. God, such a great motor that powered some great cars.

Well it was a restaurant bar, but still. I have work tomorrow too, but that's where that single guy part comes in. Not enough care to not drink on a Thursday.

Sounds like the cobalt crowd.

05/01/2014 at 22:57

Lol fair enough. Admittedly, if I wasn't on crutches I'd probably see if some friends wanted to grab a pint somewhere close.

oldirtybootz > Logansteno: Bought a VW?
05/01/2014 at 22:59

Ha, that must be a great feeling, knowing they're prone to cracking. No automaker is perfect though.

Almost 140k without problem, so maybe we got one of the good ones.

Yeah, drowning your feelings with booze is always a good choice no matter the time of the week.

Why the crutches? I presume not the same sort of crutches as mine, ie alcohol and drugs.

05/01/2014 at 23:20

shit i'll join in the billy joel and drinkin crowd. idk what you guys think of me and my corona light but hey "we didn't start the fire"

oldirtybootz > Kylemaro
05/01/2014 at 23:23

As for the Rona, my friends all refer to it as Mexican piss water. I'm at a point in my life where if it gets me fucked up I don't really care what it is.

Kylemaro > oldirtybootz
05/01/2014 at 23:26

i can sympathize, but hey you still got a job haha. mexican piss water. i hear alot of hate for corona. but yeah i drink alot of beer (especially lately) and idk why just been buyin the corona more lately. the iracing guy has a point though. (GT6 here) and anyone else seem to be a better driver when just a little drunk. atleast on track anyway?

oldirtybootz > Kylemaro
05/01/2014 at 23:33

Indeed, and I'll still be going in 30mins early for some overtime. I wasn't much of a drinker until the past 3 lonely weeks. It is what it is though.

As for driving, I do awful in any video game when I'm drunk. I've done nasty in Call of Duty on other vices though. Never tried Fourza on that though.

05/01/2014 at 23:33

Lol no, medical crutches. Slipped on ice and broke my femur. I know, I know.. I need to come up with a better story. haha Lived in AZ for 25 years and did alright, moved to IL and broke my femur just over 2 months. lol

oldirtybootz > Chris_K_F drives an FR-Slow
05/01/2014 at 23:36

Could be worse. A few weeks back I was breaking up a pallet with a sledgehammer like a fucking moron when one of the pieces of wood swung up and hit me in the mouth and cause 4 or 5 stitches. Or my friend who got into a pointless scuffle with another friend at the bar 3 weeks ago and wound up with his jaw wired shut.

At least it wasn't your face!

Kylemaro > oldirtybootz
05/01/2014 at 23:40

i sympathize further with the lonely. but honestly. i think mine is going to come back. wishing you luck with yours. i might actually stop drinking if she does. hahaha

Chris_K_F drives an FR-Slow > oldirtybootz
05/01/2014 at 23:43

True, my face is still lookin' good... or goofy... whatever. haha. Although it did require surgery, the installation of an 11 1/2" place in my leg, lots of stitches, a total of 10-12 weeks on crutches, and an total recovery period of even longer lol.

oldirtybootz > Kylemaro
05/01/2014 at 23:47

Good luck to you as well. Pretty sure mine is gone. We still love each other but I've broken her trust too many times and even if we got back together it wouldn't feel right and she would never trust me. Plus I don't trust myself not to hurt her again and she deserves better than that. I'm getting ok with it though, meeting her after my first ever break up taught me that the next is always better. You learn a bit each time about yourself and women and it helps you in the long run. After my first, I beat myself up for about a year and kept trying to patch it up out of selfishness. It wouldn't have been right for either of us but it's what I thought I wanted so I kept pushing for it to no avail. This time I know she deserves better than me, we'll both get over it eventually and hopefully she'll be better off. As will I, but I'm not looking for a relationship for a looooooong time.

Its the loneliness of it that sucks now. We spent every minute together so it's a pretty drastic change. Hence why alcohol is my new friend. It just keeps my mind off it.

Kylemaro > oldirtybootz
05/01/2014 at 23:51

i feel ya. but shit man. Ive been with her since my Sr year of high school.no matter what i know i can still love her. i know all about that loneliness though. i do not sleep at night cant get to feeling right without her. but thanks!!! do me a favor though and don't hit it too hard. hate for this to end up being the end of ya. you seem like an pretty alright guy! cheers mate!

I'm keeping it within some reason. I've been depressed to the point of not caring about living and it's far from enjoyable. I'm far better this time around, but I've neglected my friends for a few years while I was with here so we've been drinking. I never got to put being of legal drinking age to good use so I'm making up for lost time.

My first breakup was after my first semester at college. We'd dated since my senior year of HS, her freshman year. She was going into her Junior year, I was working after failing out of community college. We were in different places in terma of maturity and how we wanted to spend our time and whatnot so it was really just a matter of time before it ended anyway. But qhen we did break up it was also my fault, thinking with the wrong head, ya know? So I beat myself up over it since I was to blame, but I let that go on far too long after we were broken up. She had moved on but I hadn't. It worked out in the long run since I met my recent ex and we had 3 great years together and I learned alot about myself and shit. It's hard though, you'll get through it. It's cliche, but there really are plenty of fish in the sea. That's something I didn't want to hear at the time of that first breakup but I wish I had accepted that. Relationships fail, it happens to alot of people. It's a part of life that you have to live with. Keep your head up, it'll get better.

Yeah I heard about that, it had to do with tighter emissions regs. But doesn't Cat make a MD truck for on highway use now? Or is that just an International or something like that dressed up with Cat logos?

Rocking some Billy Joel?

We're friends now!

Long story short, CAT decided it was going to be too expensive to develop an engine to meet the upcoming 2010 on-highway emissions requirements.

I believe the truck you are talking about is this: http://www.drivecat.com/

We weren't before? I'm from Long Island, I think there's a law here requiring you to be a fan.

05/02/2014 at 13:00

oh I think we probably were, this just cemented it.

I'm a huge Billy Joel fan, first CD I ever bought. It annoys the HELL out of my wife haha. Being 27, there aren't many in my age group that get excited about Billy Joel. I've been harassing her lately but intentionally borrowing her Jeep which has XM because they've been doing a "Billy Joel Channel" (channel 4 if you have XM btw) that is ALL BILLY JOEL ALL THE TIME! She gets back in the Jeep and goes "DAMMIT!" and quickly changes the channel.

Wherever we go, Billy Joel comes on...at the grocery store? Billy Joel. At the mall? Billy Joel. At obscure random location that shouldn't be playing Billy Joel? BILLY JOEL.

It's awesome.

I'm originally from North NJ (Morristown) and now live in Michigan. Region may have effected me some.

Yeah that's it the CT 660. That new 681 looks almost exactly like a Mack. So I'm guessing Cat has these things made by Volvo.

I've been listening to that nonstop lately. They had the Town Hall interview with him and Howard Stern the other night, it was epic. I'm 23 so I feel your pain, it's hard to find people my age that are into his music. I'm dying to go to one of the MSG concerts but I'd end up going by myself.

wish I was still in the area I would TOTALLY GO.

My wife was going to suffer (as I have through some of her concerts) and go with me but the tickets out here were a fortune when he came through!

05/02/2014 at 18:06

I haven't looked them up yet but I'm sure they're not cheap. My Knicks tickets never are so I don't expect Billy to be any different. I need to see him live at least once though.

and you're running out of time for that.

better pony up some cash man! Wish I could go with you
