On the 4th try, the Burb From Hell is parked on the foul line of the basketball court that the kids sometimes let me use for a driveway. A HUGE thanks to Bill (Chevydad) and his HEMI for making it ALL possible. Thanks also to Robin at the Little Orleans MD Exxon for the parking spot for 2 days. Thanks to EVERYONE on the board who helped along the way. CASE CLOSED, Mike

Glad to hear you made it.

**Hart_Rod** · 07-02-2005, 10:41 AM

Pics Please!

*Shane* · 07-02-2005, 10:54 AM

I'm with Hart Rob ... we needs us some pics!

68cajun · 07-02-2005, 10:58 AM

Glad to hear you finally got it home. And pics would be nice?

hotrodmtodd · 07-02-2005, 01:06 PM

I will go read the FAQ on pics and try to post some of this Diamond in the ROUGH. See you in a while, Mike

hotrodmtodd · 07-02-2005, 01:57 PM

Guys,
I really feel kind of ashamed because I read all the info that Moneyguru and others took their valuable time to share with us and I must say that I STILL don't have ANY IDEA what any of that stuff means. All this shrinking and percentages and stuff makes my head spin. I am REALLY bummed out because I would LOVE to share all kinds of pictures with you guys but I have to admit that I am WAY WAY WAY behind on technology. I can take an old Chevy apart and put it back together blindfolded with my hands tied behind my back, but I can't even post a stupid picture. That's downright frustrating.
I think I am going to have to write it down on good old fashioned paper and try to do it line by line. And I thought getting this Burb home was tough! I guess once I get the hang of it I'll be alright. I'm REALLY paying for being ANTI-COMPUTER all these years! Well, I'm off to take my buddies wife (long story) to the Toby Keith concert. I will catch up with one of you computer wizards one day soon and you can walk me through it. Take care, Mike

**Palf70Step** · 07-02-2005, 06:25 PM

Enjoy what's his name and glad you got the burb home finally.

Longhorn Man · 07-02-2005, 09:16 PM

members hookin up members...that's what it's all about!
A HEMI truck huh...you didn't expect good gas mileage did you? I had a bud haul me from Columbus to Kalamazoo...that sucker drank 150 bucks worth of petro. Call me crazy, but I expected more than 10 MPG.

jamesi20 · 07-02-2005, 11:08 PM

I just got an 05 Rumble Bee I've got 2000 miles on it and if I take it easy it gets 16 mpg but that hemi is so much fun that I usually avg. a little over 13

Longhorn Man · 07-02-2005, 11:37 PM

Since this one lookes like a street truck, i always tend to forget it is a 4X4...maybe that's where it lost the MPG.

jamesi20 · 07-02-2005, 11:51 PM

yaeh,my rb is a 4x4 with 3.92 gears

hotrodmtodd · 07-03-2005, 12:48 AM

Joe: Thanks, I think I can get the kids to show me how to send them to you, and maybe when you have time, you can give ME a little lesson on posting them.
I'm working on 1 hour sleep, I will catch the rest of you guys later. Take care, Mike
