Cool deal! You should have lots of fun with that. Old Chevy's are great for tinkering with.

Is it a 4x4 or a 2wd?

[Johnny Ray]

Congratulations! :D

:cool:

[GreenDragon]

2wd witch is cool!

you paid 150$ for a geforce 5200? rofl, that card is only worth about 50$ I got one, it works well for standard nvidia card.

My GF2 Pro cost me over $300

though did I say when I bought it, or did he? flame bait??


Propane is cool. Like 120-150 octane rating. How much does your tank/tanks hold and how much is it costing to fill em up???

[5SpeedBird]

Id dyno it agin for ****s n giggles. It being a "2 barrell" doesn't apply like it does with gas.

I bet you got more HP on LP.

I have 2 100Liter tanks,I havent filled both up yet,But Propane costs 53 cents per liter,I put 20 bucks in and got 39 liters.So I asume it will cost around 70-80 bucks canadian :(

I paid 150 canadian,And what FutureShop told me is,They quit making them due to a flaw they couldn't fix.So now I got Ati RADEON 9550,Iam really happy with this card.

how does liters transfer into weight???

Around me 20lb grill tanks cost $13.95 to fill. [was 12.95 last year]
And they really only hold 18 with the new OPD and bladder system.

[goof balls in warmer climates kept leaving propane bottle in their trunk. heat makes them expand, so the relief valve lets some gas out. Trunk fills with gas n goes boom.] so now they have a bladder system so no gas must vent.
