Re: I bounced a check.
4.6 2v and the 5.4 could if you didn't torque them to specs, the 4.6 3v had the 2 piece plugs that were known for breaking off.

Re: I bounced a check.
Yep that would be the one. Makes for a long day when the plugs break off when you go to remove them. Those 4.6’s are expensive to get more power out of too. Gm got there shiz right with cheap ole small block and the cheap ole Ls stuff.

Re: I bounced a check.
Those little 2 seater sports cars turned into land yachts over the years, then shrank and got square in the 80s. The return to tiny in the 00s was a shock.

Re: I bounced a check.
5.4's REALLY pop 'em off. A friend in the salvage business says the LAST engine he'd ever have in a truck is a 5.4.

Re: I bounced a check.
Me too. I took my test in my dad's '77 Malibu station wagon, but most of the driving I did before the test was in mom's '70 Maverick. It was an underpowered little turd with a 6cyl and 3 on tree.
These kids now-a-days would lose their minds over learning to drive while learning a stick shift at the same time. To be fair, I did drive some farm equipment, (trucks/tractors) for a while before the test for actual road driving, but they were totally different from that gutless wonder of a Maverick.

Sorry, but don't write checks that won't cash. Fill in the blanks.

Re: I bounced a check.
I learned to drive a stick in my brothers 71 Roadrunner with a 340 and a 4 speed. It was intimidating for a 16 year old kid. Especially with my big brother threatening to beat my azz if I messed up his car. (No pressure at all ) But I did fine.
When I bought my first motorcycle A 71 RD200 for 100 bucks. I had no idea how to ride it. I had to ask the guy I bought it from "How do you ride this thing?' He thought I was kidding but I wasn't. The only bike I had ever ridden was a Honda 90 with an automatic. But I did fine on that too until I ran out of gas 5 minutes later. (no gas gauge). Looking back the guy should have told me that the bike needed gas. I only made it about a half a mile before I was pushing it. Lesson learned. I never ran out of gas again. When I was in school they still had drivers education class. There was a girl in my class that was scared to death to drive. She was kind of a PITA because she was always holding up the show with her nonsense. So the day came that we had to drive on the freeway. Everybody did fine and then it was her turn. She looked very determined and took the wheel and as we sped down the on ramp a suicidal kamikaze bird smashed into the windshield right in front of her.SPLAT!. She freaked out. She took her hands off the wheel and covered her face and screamed. The instructor had to grab the wheel and pull over and clear the dead bird off the cowl. I remember thinking of all the people in the world. It had to be her. i was just driving that car a few minutes earlier and if that happened to me I would have just turned on the wipers and kept going. Poor thing. She was really shook up. But she did get her license.And if anyone deserved it she did.She worked hard to overcome her fear.

Re: I bounced a check.
They had drivers ed in my school too, but very few people actually did it, because it took way too long. There was a local company just down the street that most of us went to.
It was set-up to have one instructor and three kids in the car, swapping around to get our "hours", but they figure out real quick which ones are the farm experienced ones and which are the nervous types. We wondered way off the original topic.....lol

Re: I bounced a check.
There was one private drivers ed outfit, but everyone took it at school. You got it over with before you were eligible to drive. We had a the classes during school. I got to be in class with girls I had no classes with. It was great!
For the driving part I had coach Seibert, the football coach. It was on Saturday and he'd just have me run him around to do his errands. Out on I-70 (hardly another vehicle on there) he'd drift off into a nap every time. One time I slowed it down then stomped on it back up to 70 when he jumped up and glared at the speedo. He looked at me all confused and half asleep, I looked back like nothing happened. Nothing happened

Re: I bounced a check.
Speaking of bounced checks...I transferred to a different department at my last company, and they required a lot of travel. I would deposit the per diem checks in our regular checking account and pay for the rental car and so forth out of it. My wife saw all that money in there and started spending it before I paid those bills! So I got a "Travel" account that was only to be used for the travel stuff. She found the checks (not where the regular checks were kept) and burned a bunch more money. I had to go into the Credit Union and sign papers saying that it was not intentional (I was the only person on that account, and she should have known better, btw). At least nothing bounced.

Re: I bounced a check.
while I admire and respect his talent, I cringe everytime I see him hack a perfectly solid, complete classic with his 'artistic touch'
much rather he made those modifications to vehicles that were damaged, rusted, or otherwise already unoriginal and leave the well preserved ones alone

Re: I bounced a check.
For some unknown reason, this reminded me of:
1) We had driver's ed but I don't remember anything in particular about it. I passed. 2) We had sex ed, taught by a very embarrassed coach. It was short. Coach asked if anyone had any questions. Nobody did. That was about the extent of sex ed class. Back then, I think most guys got their sex ed from buddies who were usually accomplished liars.....

Re: I bounced a check.
Sex Ed, what a joke. I had the male science teacher do it, and we learned very little. Interestingly enough, my best friend had the female science teacher, and she did a way better job of it. I had driver's ed in the alternating semester from health class, in Grade 10. I got to drive a '66 Dodge Coronet that had an instructor's brake pedal in the front passenger's side. I remember my first drive in that thing. The instructor was using the brake when I was backing up, because he thought that I was going too fast. I used to race a go-kart, but Dorothy in the back seat's eyes were giant when I was backing up. We really weren't going that fast...says the guy who, 5 years later, blew up his Pontiac driving across the Nevada desert at 140+ MPH.
Wow, bounced check drift.

Re: I bounced a check.
My wife and I have totally separate bank accounts. It works for us. We never argue over money. What's hers is hers and what's mine is mine. We both have total autonomy as how to spend our money. That's why I have a bunch of cars and she has closets full of designer clothes.
