Oh SH*T!
I better look to make sure I clean out under the porch today! Would hate "to have more than three L28ET motors get crushed if my porch suddenly collapses!"

Rate Parts-Truck Bed Capacity by "L28ET" plot: That's a three engine bed, that one there is only a two engine bed.....
You know that if you stack Z-Cars for Storage, you have to take the suspenions off in an 8 foot container, while in a 9.6 footer you can stack em complete, just gotta put the wheels inside the ones on the bottom.
You know the balance point of a front cut, with and without engine.
You know you can carry three half-cuts in the back of your truck.
You pass on Slotted Mags because you already have five sets. One from American, one from Western, one from Appliance, one from Shelby, and a full set with spares from Enkei.... And then you start counting the polished sets....
You consider a 40 foot sea container "inadequate" for spares storage.
You realize that after you bought TWO 40 foot sea containers, they are "inadequate" and need at least two more...
When you fly internationally, you start seeking Z-Cars, any Z-Car, and get excited when you finally see one after six weeks of daily searching. Even if it's a clapped out Z31 2/2 in the back streets of Puerto Ordaz, Venezuela! (Oooh, hey, a Z31 COMPLIMENT from me, and they call me a 'hater'!)
You get upset when the Nugent Concert happens 15 minutes from your house, and you will be on the other side of the country with NormS, looking over Z-Car photos...

You know you have been around ZC.C for a while when noobs start predicting the imminent downfall of the forum because of you:
"In a years time when this forum consists of nothing but Tony D and all his fanboys you might understand how much of a negative effect he has on this forum."
You know you have been around ZC.C for a while when noobs attribute such magical powers after only posting 16 posts in "their" forum over the course of almost 10 years!
You know they are noobs when you have been around, hearing the same PO&B swarf for well nigh on 7 years, and the forum is still there: vibrant and prosperous as ever!
When people use you as reference for "whatever" (good or bad) things they see on the forum.
When you get hate mail in your personal e-mail box (none of that in over two years, personally, but hey, I'm delusional and derisive as well!)
When people tagline your quotes.
When people use your screen name in their subject line when they need help.
Hey, whatsa guy to do> let's make another post "Jeff Foxworthy on Noobs at ZC.C"
I won't start it, but I got PLENTY of ammunition for THAT one! LOL

A:
Engines don't stack on headbolts with trannies attached.
Wich brings up another few:
You know that the most efficient way to load the engines and trannies in you truck is ON END pointing skyward.
You know that headbolts will let you stack engines on end without removing the flywheel.
You know that WalMart Carburettor Cleaner Spraycan Caps fit perfectly into the tailshafts of trannies to keep rainwater out when you stack them on end, or when pulling a tranny, to keep it from draining fluid all over your carpet!
You know that the input shaft is juuuuust longer than the mounting flange, so for proper stacking, you always have a couple of 2X2's in the bed of the truck, "just in case you find a haul".

"tony did you really mean that about the z31?"
Search the Archives, and you will find, contrary to 300zx's chip-on-the-shoulder-assertations, a complementary post about finding a Z31 while driving the back streets of Puerto Ordaz Venezuela.
This is of course the only Z Car I saw outside the hotel parking lot where a black Z32 was sitting for several weeks (and which I got a photo taken next to, for our club newsletter)...
Yeah, even I can make complementary posts about a Z31 given sufficient real-z deprivation!
he he he he

when you get your marital advice off the tech forum.
when you know which city (or part of the world) Tony is going to next.
if you actually enjoyed reading Tonys post about the time he was sick in the motel room with "stuff" dripping off the ceiling and found it interesting!
if you start asking questions that you already know the answer to just to see who else is on at midnight.
when you start bragging about how many hot babes you can get into your z car and everyone here knows you cant get a babe , hot or not.
when you brag about getting hot babes in you z car and then show us a picture of a moo cow on the beach!
when your wife starts talking about painting the house and you get the cover off your z car fuse box to take to the paint store for a match.
when a good or bad day is determined by how many times you get flamed or told to use search! (a noob one)
when you talk in your sleep and its zcar related and not super model related.
when your wife says lets have sex and you reply ok as soon as im done polishing the z's wheels.

You would rather meet TonyD and Blue in person than meet a celebrity.
You check Zcar.com before you check your e-mail.
You and your wife actually budget in your Z as another child.
You tried to claim your Z as a dependent on your taxes.
2+2 doesn't equal 4 it equals too many damn seats.
You have a Mr. K bobble head.
You read through every post on this thread and agreed with everything.
