I don't recommend breathing it.

Hydrogen sulfide - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

You commonly come across in working in the oil industry, it's sketchy ****. My favourite part is that before you die breathing it, you can't smell it anymore because it's paralysed your sense of smell.

If you survive a higher than concentration than 8 ppm you can die from pulmonary arithmea. Your supposed to go to the hospital for 72 hour observation if you get knocked down on one knee

Lol everyone carries a phone on site. Just don't use it in a building. I've had mine hit 60 before. Of course I was masked up and fixing a low pressure flare knockout tank that was venting to atmosphere! Lol

Let me tell you, that was kinda of an adrenalin rush! Lol

now in my mind's eye, I would wonder what it would take (assuming both drivers are compitant) for a SS/SC to be neck on neck with a stock C-SRT4...
The C-SRT4 might weigh a couple hundred pounds more - but it's also got ... I dunno +/-60(b)hp on a SS/SC...



What does he have for an intake? ~ do Calibers respond well to intakes?



I 110% agree



Maybe some would be interested in that - I'm just not into camping...
That being said, my arm has been twisted in the past ~ and if we're going for something aside from camping it might not be too tough to convince me...
I'd just be VERY hard pressed to do a drive with the pure goal of camping...



yeah, every year I see the cops sitting somewhere, pretty much being blind to some of the shenanigans...
If you're stupid and asking for it though...


Hey!!
i actually raced a csrt4 today on the highway. 100 to about 160 it looked stock and it still took me... by a large amount. but then again my car is junk right now.

The company I work for likes to play by te rules and Cenovus on paper doesn't allow phones so we just go with that.

Anyone on here go to Riverstone Pub last night? I saw a yellow Cobalt SS with a wing and black steelies in the parking lot.

Btw, don't order the calamari at Riverstone ~ really chewy

It was good. Never loved the cobalt. It just needs so much little ****. Brakes need to done. The steerimg squeals when You turn the wheel to the left. I'm throwing like 3 codes right now for some sensor. Bearings r fucked in the TVs since it has the rock tumbling sound. Bumper is falling off from me hitting the curb. I have broken something on the stock heat exchanger and it's leaking. Windshield is destroyed. Interior rattles and is actually embarrassing to have people in there it's so bad.

Im hoping I write it off but then my insurance will go up hahah.

Not this chewy. It must have been overcooked.

It felt like I was gnawing on thick rubber bands. lol

awe-man!

I know you have had little issues with it, but this is disappointing...

I hope losing to a C-SRT4 isn't due cause for further grievance with your car...
Many people on CSS don't quite realise just how powerful C-SRT4's are;
for example Mopar 'Stage1' is purely an ECM swap - and dynos' an honest 299whp.
I don't see too many SS/SC's around that run an honest 300whp...

But this begs the question - do you NEED to be the fastest car around?


BTW, Joel - I saw your old car yesterday...
it was on the north side of Mayor Magrath driving south...

Nah. Losing isn't a big deal to me. I can count on 1 hand the amount of times I've won at the track. This is all mostly due to me not having a garage and falling behind on regular maintenance.

I would recommend going to Southgate - they do great work;
just be sure you know what you're signing up for before you sign anything...

...........


I actually came online here this evening to say that I hope everyone is staying off the road - or taking extra care if you have to be driving tonight.

apparently there's havoc going on out there!
