I checked out the parts shed Jeremy and this is all I could find, a modified midpipe that came with the white 84 GSL I picked up this summer. It looks like it's designed to match up with an aftermarket muffler and the stock converters or their replacement (RB header, Bonez race pipe, etc).

I won't be using this one because when I redo the White One it will be with a stock replacement powerpulse muffler. So if your friend can use it, let me know. I will need a new midpipe eventually so if he has one of those he'd like to trade that's unmolested that would be perfect.

I also checked on the storage bins but all mine have broken door hinges and I just shipped out my spare compartment shells to the land fill a couple weeks ago.

Here's the pipe:





Did any of you guys notice that Newt is on the Rise? Go Georgia!

Any of you guys have a pull behind leaf bagger attachement? This picture gave me a great idea for how to enjoy racking leaves this year.

No pull behind but this year I got this old JD RX95 mower for $150.00 and then snatched up a double
bagger for it for $85.00. Going out tonight after work to bag the first round of leaves. Should be
a breeze.

Look a lot like this RX75 pictured here:

Tim, get some John Deere green paint and convert the RX97 into RX7, and maybe you can figure out how to make those wheels into waffles. Then you will really have something to post...

It's a 2002 Golf GLS (Very well equipped), Candy White, black interior, 5-speed, awesome stereo, verrrrry nice projector headlights with 4500k HID bulbs and 55watt digital ballasts , brand spankin' new Potenzas, blah blah blah...

Help me out!

Good thinking Collin, looks like that time up in NH did you good. You can get at least two or three FB's for what you sell that Bunny Car for.

Imagine what would have happened if VW had built the Wankel?

Or you could follow Mike's advice:

Tim, I can't believe you picked up an RX-75 for $150.00. I mean, talk about Rotary Power! You got video of that monster?

But let me tell you, if you get one of those Zero Turns your wife will mow the lawn.

Ray that mower of yours is killer but I couldn't justify spending that kind of money
to mow 1/2 acre. I didn't get an RX-75 its an RX-95, about 4 hp difference.

I just did the leaves last night in 1.5 hours using that bagger I picked up. I bagged
10 bags of leaves and filled my yard container with 3 loads from the bagger.

Pretty sweet! That usually takes me many more hours and lot more labor. I think my
neighbor is getting jealous watching me yestrday. I usually bag about 25 to 30 bags
of leaves every season. I think I'm about at the half way point. Hopefully this
next storm coming in tonight blows the rest out of the trees and into my neighbors
yard.

I like that Rx-7 emblem on the front of the mower and Cathy is looking pretty sexy in
those boots she has on.

Tim, you have to fix the name badge on that thing to RX7.

I do between 30-40 bags of leaves a year and I usaully have to bag once a month over 3 months (Nov, Dec, Jan). I think that leaf eating machine of your's needs a road trip to GA. Does it run on Yuengling?

Gene, I am always a day late and dollar short on the good deals.

I think the RX7 emblem on a mower is kind of ricey. Maybe I should include some
go fast stickers too like Fram or Holley.

Change Yuengling to Guinness and we're there. You can get these things on craigslist
all day long if you look. I can teach you how to fix them up easily enough. They all
seem to suffer from the same types of failures that are easy to address. Kind of
like 7s in that way.

I'll have to get pics of my mower up for you. Very similiar to the vids.

Ray, this guy needs an expert rat nester to help him get his hoses all setup correctly.
I think he's in need of specific OGTA help here.

Tim, I looked at that thread. That is pobably going to require a trip to an OGTA meeting.

Nice jab on the iPad. Every time my wife's iPad is misbehaving, I use my Windows machine to find out what is wrong with it. Remind me why Apple products are better.

I can't help him out, his spelling is too bad and I don't want to encourage that kind of behavior on the internet.

Also, every since DF dissed my OCD on the last OGTA Report posted in the Nontechnical section, I've decided not to contribute to that part of the forum. The Newbies will just have to follow the Molester's "advice" and tear everything out.

Hate seeing all those perfectly good Rat's Nests headed for the landfill but I've stored away all the rats I'll need until 2050, which is when the world will run out of gas and my GSL's become lawn ornaments.

Post up those videos Tim. Can you make it pop a wheely? (Without the bagger filled with wet leaves)

You are really getting sensitive in your old age, Ray. There used to be a day when you relished the opportunity to cross intellectual swords on the inter-webs.

Ahh, I guess it happens to all of us.

I know. I was about to post the 32 pictures I have of perfectly aligned X wheels and ask DF for an explanation, but what's the use?

Some folks are just not capable of learning new things.
